Dear cavers,
I?m writing on behalf of a new app launching in 2015 called Maroon. We are currently looking for beta testers and think your club members would be suitable.
The app is designed for sporting activities, particularly those which can be done alone and along secluded routes, such as cycling, running, hiking, horse riding and canoeing to name a few. You simply set your activity, route and expected duration, and if you do not tell the app that you have completed your activity safely, an emergency alert will be sent to designated contacts.
There are several examples of when this app can come in handy, here?s one we have thought of:
A man is exploring a caving route and gets knocked off and falls unconscious. There?s no one else on the route that day. If he didn?t leave a note with the likely routes and times then no-one will find him before hypothermia sets in. If he had Maroon, he would never have to worry about this.
For more information, please visit our website at www.maroonapps.com
It would be great if you could spread the message that we are looking for testers to iron out any issues and take feedback on the positives and negatives.
If any of your members are interested in taking part, all they need to do is email esugden[at]nms-adaptive.com with the subject ?Maroon App Testing?.
If you have any questions, please get in touch. At this stage, the app is only available for iPhone users.
