I do wish to see this application success however since it received funding in cryptocurrencies.

i don't get why would someone choose to call a friend in case of emergency!
Trust.

Living in Canada, I wouldn't find this very useful. I do understand how in other countries it would make sense. If you're in a country that has corrupt police officers you'd much rather call your friends/family than some corrupt cop looking for a bribe.
Yeas I agree. I dont think it will pick up in developed countries. I guess we'll see.

Living in Canada, you should realise that every Canadian lives under constant threat of capture or theft if they are caught evading the government's institutionalized protection racket. The fact that many deem this to be incorrupt only demonstrates that those people are not fit to be free anyway.
Would you concede that the Candian government, using it's police force, insists that you pay them bribes (aka extortion), lest your liberty or property be stolen from you using said police force?
I'm not really following what you're saying. What I was talking about would be this:

In the 'red' or 'black' countries this would make a lot of sense.
Ok, it's a little ironic that you've posted a link to a document titled "Corruption Perceptions".
Corruption is subjective: if you feel like you've agreed to live under the rules of the Canadian government, then that's understandable. But what if you changed your mind?
So, you have to leave Canada outright? Seems a little unreasonable: a few million people voted in a few hundred people who just made all the rules up. Why should you be beholden to millions, or even hundreds of people who otherwise play no part in your life? Why leave the place you grew up with, and the friends and family you have there, just because you don't want to live under the conditions they implemented?
The reality is that people disagree with gorvernment rules all the time; it's called criminality. And if you commit criminal acts, you can expect the police to catch up with you. If the statute you infringed has no victim, the arresting police officers are the true criminals.
Hence, Cell911 will find a Canadian userbase: I know I'm not the only person out there that considers mandatory child indoctrination camps morally wrong, or forcing people to pay you money to be theft. Boths crimes of which the Canadian government is guilty. Multiple counts.

Well besides boost the speed time of reaction it may save lifes,how many of us lost someone because emergency system tooked too much to come and when they come the people is almost dead.Soo this will safe some more lifes as the neighbour can take the friend to the hospital ,besides that i see potencial here,as there are a lot attacks everyday soo with this app its possible to join all against the bad persons.
So this is an app that calls your buddies if the corrupt police are about to blow you away? And your buddies are gonna turn up packing heat and fill the cops with lead? And people put money into this?
To take on your extreme example, can we assume that given those circumstances, you would stand still like a good boy while the police line up a decent headshot?

if i were in a situation that i was in that much trouble i wouldnt want my friends involved (much as they would want to be) i would rather have the professional responders do it. they are paid to take the risk, my friends are not.
Most of my friends are drunk or stoned or don't have a driving licence because of the prior reasons. I also don't think they're going to be willing to risk their necks if I'm being raped. I'll stick to the people who are actually trained and paid to deal with it even if that makes me a commie faggot.
I would also trust more institutions that we are already paying to keep us safe, don't really see the point in redundancy in this matter.
if anyone is not satisfied with what they are getting from them, there are ways to change that. But it's all a matter of personal choice in the end.
WOW! 
John Bush interviewed me for his show SovereignBTC on 'Let's Talk Bitcoin', why I invested so much in Cell 411. We also talk about Bitcoin, NXT, and other cryptocurrencies:

emergency services like police, ambulance,... can get there much faster than my friends can. maybe it is good for some country that doesn't have a decent emergency service.
those devs should spend their time and money on something that has practical use.

Funny you are here on a Bitcoin forum if this is your belief, no?
The idea with this App, much like Bitcoin, is decentralization. Less dependency on a monopolized government service, which in many (if not most) places is corrupt beyond belief.
Cops are above the law. Nobody polices the police and that means they literally get away with murder. It happens daily! Pull your head out of your ass and you'd see this. Police are no longer our friends like they might have been 50 years ago. Instead they've become true "law enforcement officers", that essentially enforce whatever bullshit they are commanded to. They go around harassing the public, not serving them. We absolutely need this type of competition in protection services to keep everyone honest.
wow you are just a millionaire .congrats on your investment. i am hearing abt this for the first time. i hope its a wise investment

received the investment of 10 Million NXT and 300 BTC, worth $200,000, from crypto- currency investor and entrepreneur Marc De Mesel.
Cool. However I really doubt the survival chances of this type of application. I'd rather call my local police than calling my friends in case of emergency. If I forgot to bring my wallet after eating a dinner, I would be able to call my friends using default cellphone - there is no need for this type of app.
I do wish to see this application success however since it received funding in cryptocurrencies.
.It's not a good idea to be in contact with cops. The service is generally very poor, and you risk getting into trouble yourself.
If you have to, you have to, but an app like this may become much more useful than what the cops offer you.
I don't think this app will work by just adding your current friends eventhough it is a good way to start by adding some close friends/family that you depend on currently.
But just like Waze for example, that alerts you where cops are on the road, if there is an accident en route, etc, you get helped much more by other user who love the app and want to help and build a strong reputation.
I think this kind of app is a good idea, but I understand the concerns of others in this thread; the network can only be as good as the participants. Where I disagree must is with their wholly negative view of the possibilities; if people with professional standards of medical or personal security register, it has the potential to deliver a far better service than current centralised providers.
Reliable identification of both good and bad actors will be the key to success for this app. If both can be reliably ascertained (at least by, say, other natives of the same country/region), then this model could totally outcompete centralised emergency services on speed, care, and price. If you've got good emergency care skills, and you want Bitcoin, I'm buying.

Thanks for great advise Carlton
Instead of calling the police 911 you can use the app Cell 411 and be helped by your friends and other users.
The app is growing rapidly. I approached the founder and he was open to receive a financing in crypto.
Very proud:
