Hey guys, we've been working on Companion to solve a personal problem we've seen/experienced on our college campus (University of Michigan). We're launching today into "public beta" so there may still be a few kinks to work out. I'd love to hear any and all feedback!

What are the triggers for when something is wrong? Is it just going off the set map route? What if someone is mugged or sexually assaulted on the spot?

I was mugged here in SF a few weeks ago and I think this is a great idea. The muggers got my phone and all my money and I had to walk home by myself with nothing after that. This app would also have helped me remember precisely where the mugging happened, I would imagine, which would have helped with my police report.

I wish this existed when my girlfriend was studying at USC (super dangerous neighborhood). Speaking of, I think USC would be an ideal place to market this product.

Really clever. Does it work the same if someone is driving home rather than walking, or hopping in an uber? In fact could be interesting to link Companion to Uber or other ridesharing platforms.
