Police want everyone to download a smartphone app they say has already saved several lives.
It looks as if there’s no downside to this - and it could prove a lifesaver.
When you need to find the nearest emergency room
Despite a childhood tendency to eat things from my mother’s stained glass workbench and run face-first into concrete barrels on the school playground, I never had to find an emergency room in a hurry as a kid. As an adult it wasn’t a tremendous issue, either- I lived close enough to the nearest hospital that I could walk there with a 104 degree fever and pneumonia, or with a kidney stone rating a 7 or 8 on the Hyperbole and a Half Improved Pain Scale, or after slicing off part of two fingertips because I didn’t take precautions when using the mandoline. But that was just luck. If I were to come down with a kidney stone where I live right now, I’d have no clue what to tell the taxi driver. I know where the big hospitals are, but the nearby ones? Nope.
Fortunately, there’s a solution.

findER is a smartphone app for iOS and Android devices in the United States. I found out about it this past Friday when I was visiting MGH’s medical museum (a fun place to visit, free admissions, and not nearly as creepy as the Mutter). If your phone has GPS and location services enabled, findER will check the National Emergency Department Inventory database for the nearest, most up-to-date locations of emergency facilities, then provide directions with a single click. Users can also search for ERs anywhere in the US by city and state, zip code, and by nearby landmarks, in case you’re visiting somewhere and want information ahead of time. And every facility listed is open 24/7, so it’s not like running a Google search at two in the morning and getting the JiffyMed that’s only available until 11.
It seldom hurts to know exactly where the nearest help is when you need it in a hurry.
In an emergency, your phone can save the day. These 16 apps will help you find your way, apply first aid, escape a dangerous situation, and face natural disasters.
It's time to uninstall Meitu, the photo app masses of users downloaded over the past week to make their selfies look wacky. This app was found today to be sending IMEI numbers to several China-based digital locations. That alone isn’t enough to do a whole lot, but given the massive amount of permissions the app seeks (and is granted) when it’s installed, the app has effectively given someone in China the ability to take control of the phone it’s installed on. In other words – uninstall Meitu (and any apps made by the same company) IMMEDIATELY and consider changing all passwords of apps and accounts associated with your smartphone.
While the app MEITU has been out on the app market – on more than one app market – for several years, it’s only very recently become mega-popular. In just the past day, thousands of users have installed the app (and similar apps from the company) for the first time. While it IS POSSIBLE that the people behind this app do not mean to be doing anything malicious with this data collection, the potential for unsavory actions as a result of this information transfer are too high for us to ignore.
Of special note: The title of this article uses the word “stole” because the app itself does not make mention of use or transfer of your smartphone’s IMEI number. It also does not mention specifically the sending of most or all of the data points listed below. Without your permission, this information is being transferred from your phone to a series of unidentified locations in China.
As FourOctets mentions, destinations include the following – and a litany of others. These addresses land in various locations inside China.
