Flare Response is a new app that connects people to their favorite places. Users get all essential news and information they need for where they are updated in real time. Flare digitally hosts location-based maps, schedules, calendars, phone numbers, and announcements. Flare also incorporates safety, connecting users to onsite personnel via the “Flare" button and a secure, two-way chat that allows those in need to get help quickly. *Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.*
