About this app

Enhance your safety. Have fun whilst knowing you’re protected through the award-winning personal safety app, Flare.

Whether you’re on your travels, at a festival with friends or on a night out, Flare has your back! Join hundreds of thousands of users who are protecting themselves from dangerous situations such as, spiking and harassment.

4 ways Flare keeps you safe and protected:

Incident Avoidance: Vehicle operators are alerted to your presence, prompting them to exercise increased caution and prevent potential accidents.


Incident Detection: Flare can recognise and detect if you have been involved in an accident. Flare will give you 30 seconds to respond – if no response is detected your emergency contacts will be notified of your live location ensuring a quick response time.

Flare’s unique incident detection algorithm is the most accurate in the world with an industry-leading accuracy rate of 99.99%. Over 100 million data points have been collected in danger zones, near-misses, and incident hotspots across over 125 countries.

SOS: Send out an SOS if you feel threatened or unsafe at any given moment. This sends your live location link to your emergency contacts, using What3words, enabling help can be found efficiently.


Hazards: Flare automatically warns you if a reported hazard is approaching, allowing you to navigate potholes, ice, debris and more quickly and safely. You can also quickly report hazards to the wider community too and help improve safety in your area.


Auto Protect automatically turns Flare on in the background when you’re active and out of your safe zone, so you don’t have to worry about launching the app each time. This means you are always protected!

The concept behind Busby is genius: Use your phone's built in hardware to act as an incident detection device. The closest thing I can think of is a marine MOB device, the Apple watch, or a fall detection tag. Except Busby is free! Even the premium option is cheaper by miles. The app gets regular updates and new features, which is great. Plus it works at slower speeds like walking or cycling. Busby is the sort of thing more developers should focus on.

If it would work, it would be great. I got false triggers when taking phone out of my pocket or when phone sitting on lap. Has also locked up app twice and required 3 times that I sign in again. Buzzer stopped working on 3rd ride. Only had it 1 week. I hope these issues can be fixed because it's a brilliant idea, could be a life saver but false triggers with no buzzer are unacceptable.

Hi Andy! Firstly, we're sorry that you have had these issues with your device. There is a new version (2.0) on the way later this week that fixes the sensitivity on many Samsung devices. If you could try that and please contact us at support@k-safe.com if there are any further issues.

Overall very good and a thoughtful team at Busby. There is a current issue (being worked on) with GPS status showing incorrectly but if you press 'GO' it does work as normal. Emergency contacts can be added using the plus function straight from your phone contacts which is great - the contact search function did not work for me but again the Busby team were quick to respond and are looking at it. Keep up the good work !
