RedZone Map™ Hits Top 10 in London
Just Two Days Into Launch, High-Tech iOS App Surges to Number 7 in UK
Navigation Category
MIAMI & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$AAPL #England–Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ: HMNY) and RedZone, creator
of the RedZone
Map™ app, announced today that their real-time crime mapping
coverage of London, launched just two days ago, has been widely embraced
by Londoners.
The two-day surge to number 7 in the United Kingdom’s iOS navigation
category as reported by AppAnnie appears to reflect the fact that
Londoners want situational awareness as they deal with a sharp increase
in violent crime. With shootings, assaults, thefts and hate crimes
posting in real-time to the RedZone Map, users are enabled to avoid
higher crime areas by being directed around them.
“I always believed that RedZone Map would work well on an international
level, and I believe the early performance of the app in London confirms
our proof of concept,” said Ted Farnsworth, founder of RedZone. “We are
pleased with the results and plan to work aggressively in pursuing other
international markets.”
