The previous Aspire News App developers had gone out of business and the app was deleted from both Apple and Google Play, leaving many potential domestic violence victims stranded. Dogtown Media partnered with the Foundation to rebuild and renew the Aspire News App and implement new features that would be beneficial and help protect victims. The app acts as a masked app, since it appears like a regular news app, enabling a trusted contact to be notified about a potential dangerous situation without the perpetrator realizing the victim is doing so and becoming enraged. Understandably, location accuracy is essential as a timely response is crucial in these life-and-death situations. The Aspire News app was recognized on Capitol Hill by the National Health Collaborative on Violence and Abuse as one of the two “best apps for domestic violence prevention”. The app has been downloaded more than 300,000 times across the globe.
