BSafe tracks your location and will send alerts to specified contacts if you press its large SOS button. It can also send alerts if you don’t check in by a certain time, and it lets you ring your phone if you want to fake an incoming call. (Free, Android or iOS)
Leave Me Alone Lite blocks all incoming calls and/or texts from anyone you’ve decided that you don’t care to hear from anymore. Better yet, the blocked party won’t even know that a block is on. (Free, Android only)
