iTools what?
iTools started as a purely safety app, where in case of extreme emergency it will give you vital information to be alive and well. Is a live earthquakes monitor, thus can save you crucial seconds - especially when sleeping - to act as planned. Coordinates is a system where is totally independent of address, so you can send your coordinates to 911, 112 or any other emergency agency and pinpoint the exact location of you to come and save you. Light tools can shed light exactly where you see fit to, and compass to help you manually navigate.
Over the years, iTools is being used by ambulances, hitchhikers, boat enthusiasts, private airplanes, in car, and many many people who have the need to send a location to someone that does not have an address. Like a park bench, a certain building point, a house within a huge block with one entrance, a shop in a huge parking lot, any place where address is useless. And also save it as a contact.
In a nutshell, iTools have contributed in saving 3 human lives, where in all cases it was difficult for the ambulance to pinpoint the emergency site. People who were at the site used iTools to send the exact location with coordinates to the ambulance.
Really proud for iTools.

iPhones & iPads are the safest devices you can use, but there are rare cases where some equipment always connected to chargers malfunctioned. Especially iPads can be used as kiosks - meaning always connected to power. In any case use your equipment at your own risk as iTools app can not be responsible for any battery or device malfunction.
