Protect them from what? Be specific, unless, of course, you are only wanting general help.

Hello guys.I recently traveled somewhere in a certain city and i discovered that their happens to be a lot of phone snatching especially to passengers in vehicles.What i discovered is that phones are snatched over the bus window without the passengers aware since most of them are busy texting on social media.
A thought came to me of whether their could be an app which detects the current user location and sends an sms alert telling him to be carefully.Like a message warning him that the location you are now entering is insecure.Please take care of your phone  .This would make sure that once users get that sms they can stop for some minutes what they are doing.Imagine loosing your expensive phone ?Its so sad.Can their be such a solution?

Yes but it would take quite a lot of work, and probably need access to a remote server which holds information on all the locations.

Here was my thought.Users can mark those locations that are insecure and would save the coordinates of those areas.So once the app detects you are in a certain area which is marked unsafe in our database,then an sms can be send .My major point of concern is the workability part.
1)How can such app communicate in a real time manner considering yo have to ensure the user's battery charge is not wasted?
2)Does it mean that with such an app it needs to be on everytime checking the user location against the locations in the db?
Those are some of major points of concern am worried about.

Like I said before, it would take a lot of work. There are many things to consider in such an application, but that is the job of the designer.

Thats good sure.I well get you.I will follow up to see the complexities of such an app.Thank you for your response

If the passenger is texting, how can their phone be snatched? Does it just disappear out of their hands and they don't even realize it until they go to hit the Send button?

Basically what happens is the phone snatchers knock the bus windows so fast that by the time you get to hide your phone,they have already managed to open the window and grabbed the phone.They have mastered the art of opening the windows and this happens when the passengers are stuck in a traffic jam hence becoming an opportunity for the phone snatchers.

I would be grateful for your feedback on this as I am doing my thesis on this topic.
1. What Mobile apps do you use commonly? Please name a few.
2. Please mentione few benefits of using these Apps?
3. Please mention few risks of using these apps?
Thanks

I currently use a couple of Mobile banking apps.
Benefit - convenience e.g. being able to transfer money immediately
Risks - I'm concerned about using them except via mobile data for security reasons. In theory if I lose my phone no-one can access my bank details ... in theory!
I also use an app called Duolingo as I'm re-learning French (39 years after last studying it!).
Benefits - convenience and I get daily reminders to do my practice. I can do the practice anywhere, anytime.
Risks - not really a "risk" in the real sense but it can be buggy and the pronunciation isn't always accurate.
WhatsApp
Benefit - easy to share photos and convenient to communicate (without talking)
Risk - it's been hacked in the past.
FotMob
Benefit - keeps me up to date with the soccer scores
Risks - Depression when my team(s) keep losing
Hive
Benefit - can adjust my heating when not at home (saves money, gets house warm before I return)
Risks - none that I can think of.
There's a few others - benefits are generally convenience. I don't use unsecured apps if I need to provide any personal info.
Risk is generally that I'm never off my phone so RSI and neck aches are likely to result

I think that Android Mobile Apps have many risks than ios mobile apps.

That's a really helpful opinion, especially since you provided no supporting information.

I don't think there are any risks attached but yes over use of App would def put peace of mind at stake.

Sadaf, Many thanks for your feedback. Have you ever came across anyone having issue with Banking Apps? Also we usually ignore (including myself) to read the licensing terms of these Mobile Apps. Have you ever read them?
Now there has been speculation about all the data being tapped in to. Do you think if this is an issue with any of the Apps?
I am grateful for all your help.

know I'm dumb... really... but what am I missing here - (apart form a screw or two...)
I've never developed an app for a mobile device in my life, but every time I look into it, it seems so incredibly... complicated.
For a native app I suppose I can understand that, but there is much talk now of cross-platform "open" apps built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript as single page applications (SPA's) and then bundled up into some kind of wrapper for the various devices. This should be a simple nut to crack - but even this seems to involve a whole load of sledgehammers...
Suppose I want to build a simple app that asks you to enter your name, click a button, and it will say Hello to you.
I could write this as a simple web-page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Hello you</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<script type="text/ecmascript">
function sayHello(){
document.getElementById("ur").innerHTML = 'Hello ' + document.getElementById("txt").value;
document.getElementById("iam").style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById("youare").style.display = 'inline';
}
function goBack(){
document.getElementById("txt").value = '';
document.getElementById("iam").style.display = 'inline';
document.getElementById("youare").style.display = 'none';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="iam">
<input type="text" id="txt" style="width:200px;" maxlength="25" />
<input type="button" id="btn" value="Say hello" onclick="sayHello()" />
</div>
<div id="youare" style="display:none;">
<div id="ur"></div>
<input type="button" id="goback" value="< Back" onclick="goBack()" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
SO... my question then is: what else (avoiding sledgehammers) do I need to do to wrap this up as an open cross-platform app for smartphones? Or am I barking up the wrong tree (in the wrong forest, even)...?

Did you check Xamarin[^]? Using this, you can create native iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac apps in C#. I hope, this might help you.

Thanks - in the end I found Phonegap[^] which will serve my purpose. What I'm playing with now is trying to avoid the myriad JavaScript libraries that seem obligatory - so much of it seems like using sledgehammers to crack nuts. I'd rather write my own.
Thanks again though.

Yes, phonegap is another option to try.
