Rescue Quicker

About Rescue Quicker Android App

Rescue Quicker is designed to more quickly and safely allow search and rescue personnel to get time-critical messages and determine the location of the injured party.

The app reads your text messages - searching for only those that have search and rescue keywords, then parses the message looking for GPS coordinates. When these are found, the app will add the message to it's location list and provide quick map access. This allows you to know where the accident is without having to copy and paste coordinates from a text message.

Note, that this app was designed specifically for the Washington County Utah Search and Rescue. We search for the following keywords in text messages: Search and Rescue, SAR, GPS, gps, Gps. If you happen to be in another area and want to try the app, feel free. If it works, great. If not, let us know and we'll see what we can to do be more generic.

Also, note that when you tap on a coordinate on the map, the app automatically copies the map coordinates to the clipboard. This enables you to easily paste those coordinates into another app without having to manually copy the text.

Best wishes. We hope this makes it quicker, easier, and safer to get started on a search and rescue mission.
