Rave Guardian allows you to:
• Create a Safety Session during which your selected Guardians can view your status and location, ensuring your privacy and automatically alerting others in the event of an emergency.
• Deliver a rich profile of information, which includes any personal and medical information you choose to share with designated responders in the event of an emergency.
• If you are part of a participating campus, you can deliver crime tips and chat in real-time with campus safety officials, or select those officials to be your Guardian.
Rave Guardian is the nation’s leading safety application, used by institutions across the United States, and is now available as an iPhone App. It is also the ONLY app able to automatically deliver your critical profile data to hundreds of participating 9-1-1 centers through the patented Smart911 service in the event of a call to 9-1-1.
If you represent a Higher Education Institution or other organization and wish to customize Rave Guardian for your campus or workplace, contact us at [email protected]
Notes:
• Some features of Rave Guardian require a connection to a mobile network data connection.
• Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Reviews
New version lacks crucial safety function
Kaylammm
With the 2.0 update, the timer and automatic notifications function was removed (plausibly for improvement in the next version). While I understand this is a relatively new app, this is unacceptable especially without notice to users and in the summer when there are less people around and crime tends to increase.....
Too easy to deactivate timer
angelalcywaco
The timer is too easy to be deactivated (by anybody who would harm me). It requires no passwords.
Can’t create account
Allyn9
I have tried a few times and competed all of the necessary steps but this will simply not allow me to create an account, rendering it completely useless to have on my phone.
Good, but needs work
futuredoctorg
App is really good, but it keeps logging me out. Please fix this so I can make this 5 stars.
App drains too much battery
Jfkdyrugeeidugkdltivyrlg
I checked my battery usage in setting, and it is using up over 90% of my battery. I haven’t even opened the app in the past 3 days or so. My college is using this app to send us alerts for anything, so I can’t exactly delete the app right now.
Battery
Pickles207
I haven’t had to actively use this app yet, but I am happy it exists. However, my one complaint is that is uses so much battery. My battery has been dying super quick ever since I downloaded it, and according to my battery reports, it had the second highest percentage of battery usage at 13%, without me even opening the app. If possible, I’d appreciate an update that allows the app to use less battery life. After all, no matter how useful an app is, a dead phone is not a useful phone.
Battery drain
BillforReal
Like others have mentioned, it’s a nice app to have for emergencies, but it badly drains my battery.
Rave discriminates against students who attend multiple universities
KCNurses
I attend classes in a partnership program between two different colleges with two different campuses. The app will not allow the addition of more than one email address; therefore, no more than one campus can be available in the app. It can not be changed. So I have to choose with which campus I want to use the Guardian app. When contacting Rave, they said the app is working as intended. Universities need to stop contracting with this company until they offer equal safety to all students who attend. Extremely poor development foresight.
Makes me feel safe!
Icecreamdevil
I love the safety timer feature! It makes me feel safe when I leave the office late at night and am walking alone to my car. I have also had my boyfriend be my “guardian” when taking the subway at night which also makes me feel more secure. I encourage all my friends to get this app, great for solo travel after dark.
