Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ:HMNY) and its subsidiary Zone
Technologies, Inc. ("Zone") announced today that their RedZone Map app,
with expanded proprietary technology achieved through the two companies'
recent merger, is now slated to hit the Google Play Store by December
15, 2016. Loaded with unique innovations, both Android (News - Alert) and iOS users
will experience a dramatically improved version allowing users to be
more aware of their surroundings, and, with the added benefit of social

HMNY's predictive analytics capabilities have taken RedZone Map to new
heights. With RedZone Map previously ranking among the top five in U.S.
navigation apps in the Apple (News - Alert) App store right behind Google Maps and
Waze, and with the Android launch set to majorly expand the app's
availability to mobile users, Zone expects the popularity of its app to
continue growing rapidly. Having been further developed to help
navigators and travelers avoid high crime areas, RedZone Map is the only
navigation app for mobile devices that displays a safer and riskier
route, leaving the choice to the user, with this function currently
available across the U.S. and soon slated for international rollout.
The free app's improved architecture includes:
-
New live crime data with beacons pinpointing crimes committed in the
past 48 hours
-
New verbal warning system cautioning five miles in advance of "red
zones" while navigating
-
New crowdsourcing technology allowing the user to drop pins for crimes
as well as expanded traffic and road hazards
-
New easy pinch "A to B" technology now using dynamic pins
incorporating reverse geocoding so that from any location, you can
pinch and drop a green pin anywhere in the world for your start
location and a red pin for your destination and the system displays
distance and drive time. When enabled, sitting in your home in New
York City, all you have to do is drop a green pin in Los Angeles and a
red pin in San Francisco and you get your safer and riskier route.
"It is amazing that 2016-Q2 sales show that over 86% of the world's
mobile devices have Android operating systems, according to both Gartner (News - Alert)
and IDC," said Ted Farnsworth, CEO of Zone and Chairman of the Board of
HMNY. "We have been inundated with requests from Android users since our
initial launch on OS, and it is exciting that we will now be able to
provide these Android users with the most technically sophisticated
navigation and real time crime data app available."
"We've worked hard to expand RedZone Map and it has been truly
rewarding," said Pat Krishnan, HMNY's CEO. "The Android launch will
enable the app to reach many more users, and, with data covering many
countries around the world coming close behind, just knowing that our
advanced analytics expertise facilitated the achievement of these goals,
is very gratifying."
To download the free RedZone app, visit the Apple
app store and check with us soon on Google (News - Alert) Play.
