New App For When A Date Is Going South...

Female Founded App Parry Provides A Subtle Way to Get Out of Uncomfortable Situations

With the increase in online dating and the fascination with quick flings and hook ups, there is now an app that can help women get out of an uncomfortable situation. It’s not for getting out of a parking ticket. It’s for when the date is not working out or when she otherwise feels unsafe.

So how does it work? The app works by selecting a pre-set timer that will call the mobile phone providing a fake, but realistic sounding phone call to answer as an excuse to move away from an uncomfortable situation. Timers can be set for thirty, sixty, or ninety seconds, or thirty and sixty minutes in advance to delay the phone call as needed. Parry users also have the choice to select from several pre-recorded calls, or they can record their own for a more personalized touch. For an added layer of safety, the user can select emergency contacts to be texted and alerted with their exact location to let their emergency contacts know a situation may be escalating.

Parry founder Claire Guentz is a self-proclaimed true crime junkie and the daughter of two FBI agents who has seen how women's safety is often overlooked or discounted as being paranoid. The app is available today for iPhone users providing a subtle way to get out of uncomfortable situations. Parry is designed for a woman who finds herself on a date that is going south, hopes the creepy guy at the gym will finally take a hint, or to avoid unwanted attention at a college party before it escalates into something serious. 

And just because it’s designed for women does not mean that others can’t use it. It works for anyone who feels they may need an ‘out’ or extra protection.

Parry is available to download today through the Apple Store with a 7-day free trial or to purchase at $1.49 per week, $2.99 per month, or $29.99 per year. The Android version will follow soon.
