Emergencies happen and pushing a button or calling for help isnt always possible. Ico watches over you when going fishing, on a blind date, walking home or when you need the peace of mind knowing someone has your back. Unlike other tracker apps, you are in complete control of your location data and personal information. This is not a "kiddie" tracker, instead, you share what you want, when you need to.

With ICO you can:

- Plan your destination by address or custom waypoints (Premium)
- Declare type of activity (Fishing, Blind Date, Jogging or create a custom activity)
- Automated SMS alerts sent based on planned and actual arrival time
- Each SMS contains a unique code that can be used to access your location history, health profile and other important information.
- Send auto SMS alerts when you exceed your planned speed (Premium)
- Crash and severe fall detection triggers auto SMS alerts (Premium)
- Send SMS alerts when speed exceeds chosen activity (Premium)
- Profile allows users to safely store emergency contacts, medical & physical characteristics
- File activity plans for boating (float plan), hiking, a date and other activities
- Verifiable check-in using cell phone or website using a personal pin code
- Upon check-in or closing activity, all alerts are canceled by informational SMS
- Checking in or closing the activity and blocks rescue portal access
- Limit false notifications to 911

With Ico those who matter most can:

- Receive SMS alerts with actionable location information
- Access private web based rescue portal using unique code;
- View complete location data on easy to read map interface
- View Medical information
- View Physical characteristic & personal picture
- Cancel alerts and check in on your behalf

It is easy to get started. Simply install the Ico on your phone. Once registered, you can select each contact who you’d like to notify in the event of an emergency.

GPS features require a GPS-equipped smartphone and the GPS to be enabled in your phone settings. You can control how the app conserves power, but as with any app with GPS functionality, your battery life may be slightly diminished.
