Aspire News is a new app that looks like any other regular newsfeed, but it's actually designed to secretly help people to get out of abusive relationships.
Here's an explanation on how it works:
[I]t's disguised as a regular news app, but when you go to the "Help" section of the app, it leads you to domestic violence resources and also has a "Go Button" that when you press it, if you're in a compromising situation, alerts local authorities as well as local shelters and starts recording everything that is going on.
Now, if you're looking up resources on the app and your abuser is near, simply press the X button and it brings you to a random news page.
Pretty incredible that nobody really thought about coming up with something like this sooner. Here's hoping that this could actually help people, and maybe even save lives.
