RedZone Map™ Hits #3 in First Week in London
Google Maps #1, Waze #2, RedZone Map #3
MIAMI & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$AAPL #MarketWatch–Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ: HMNY) and RedZone, creator
of the RedZone
Map™ app, announced today that, just one week into its London
launch, the app has climbed to #3 on AppAnnie’s charts in the UK in all
navigation categories, positioned right after Google Maps and Waze.
The initial results of RedZone Map’s London launch verify that this
real-time crime mapping app, which enables users to become more aware of
the safety conditions around them, addresses a previously unmet need in
mobile navigation.
RedZone has developed the app’s proprietary technology considerably
since its initial launch, incorporating predictive analytics, artificial
intelligence and powerful social listening capabilities.
When discussing the popularity of the socially empowering app, Ted
Farnsworth, founder of RedZone, said: “It is rewarding, but it does not
surprise me. Today’s world feels different than the one I grew up in,
and I believe others are seeing situational awareness as a significant
concern, attempting to comprehend risks and trying to enhance their
personal safety.”
