You picture scenes reminiscent of a horror movie as you briskly walk to your destination but what if your imagined worst-case scenario actually happens? Luckily, your phone can save you from a dangerous situation with as little as a touch of a button. Feel at ease during your next night time trek with these self-defence apps for personal safety. 1.
