We live in a time where our smartphones are filled with information, and apps that very much come in handy when we need them to most.Gone are the days where we need to remember complicated stuff, because there’s always an app for something as long as we look hard enough.Today, we’re going to talk about the best apps on your phone that could actually help you survive in an emergency or survival situation.Many of you may be skeptical of whether an app could actually help you survive, and that’s perfectly understandable. It would seem kind of odd to be out in the woods with a machete in one hand and your smartphone in the otherAnd I am not at all suggesting that you become totally reliant on your phone either. There are a litany of things that can go wrong with a phone including:You drop it on a rockThe humidity/moisture ruins itThe battery diesIt falls out of your pocketYou lose it somehowYour dog eats it (just kidding on this one, though it’s still possible)No data coverageThese are just a handful of the problems that could go wrong. But as long as you are prepared with an extra battery and keep your phone safe and dry, then it will be a very essential ally to have in any situation where your life is threatened, regardless of whether that being an emergency that pops up randomly, a natural disaster, or if you’re stranded in the wilderness.In this book, we are going to cover the best survival apps on the market. While you need to know your survival and emergency response basics on your own, it won’t hurt to have a few of these apps installed on your phone as well.In fact, having these apps could actually help to complete your survival kit by providing you with immediate access to valuable information AND/OR emergency first responder teams (such as police officers, paramedics, or fire fighters).Survival apps are actually a growing trend, and every person who has a smart phone should have at least a few of these apps installed on his or her phone.So what are the apps that you need to consider downloading to your phone right now?
