ResQ
ResQ is a security app which sends alerts and location details to family and friends in case of an emergency. The application uses normal mobile connection and smartphone’s GPS location to alert contacts in case the user is in danger or in need of immediate attention. The app is designed to make users feel safe. The new app is indeed a welcome addition as it’s a not-for-profit app made just to help people.
ResQ is a perfect companion in emergency situations with options of alerting upto 3 contacts. The app also has an on-screen widget on home screen and features alerts to be sent without unlocking the phone.
The app can be used to send emergency alerts by using the following methods:
- With a single tap send an SOS Alert with current location to friends/family in case of an emergency!
- ResQ supports homescreen widget that can be used for easy access to send out the alerts
- It is possible to send alerts in situations where it is not possible for user to unlock the phone. The user simply needs to press the power button 4 times to generate alert.
ResQ can be downloaded from Google Play store and Apple Store.

The app also offers localized app stickers, unlimited text messages and files sharing features making it a proper messaging app. Buzz differentiates itself from the rest of the messaging app bunch through free app to app conference calls. The exciting app is an alternative to Skype, WhatsApp and Viber for Pakistani users and gives a local touch while communicating.
The app lets people connect through voice calls with friends and family from anywhere in the world in the form of individual and group calls (upto 30 people at once) using 3G/4G or Wi-Fi.

I am already using witribe tv
but buzz is not working. when i send message for verification by buzz message not sent.
I have used Buzzapp and really like it, especially the virtual number feature. However, I was not able to make payment using my Visa and MasterCard because of some problem in Etisalat payment gateway.
I really appreciate the efforts of Wi-Tribe team in introducing this wonderful app for Pakistanis. At the same time, I request all Pakistanis to use this app for communication with at least their Pakistani friends and family members. Otherwise, such endeavours usually fail after some time because we like “imported” things for no reason.
One of the most stupid yet most expensive internet in Pak. 1mbps internet on rs 1500rs plus taxes.. Joke of the decade!

Dear Admin, it’s shame if pakistan’s number one proclaimed IT e-mag write VoIP as VOIP
First they should improve their service. Internet crawls most of the time and sites do not even load properly especially images.
