To save us time and money in development costs we are using an existing Mobile App. This App (SentryMDU) is designed for First Responders (Police, Fire, Search & Rescue), Industrial and Private Security applications.
Although the App is designed for First Responders and has many features that you may not wish to use ... it can be a great addition to the BroomsMen Member Toolkit. These will be covered in other documents. This will allow you to do the following:
This commercially available Mobile App
will only work on Android Devices. It is NOT available for Apple devices. The reason is simple.
The Android OS is “Open Source” which means Apps can be developed that run on Android devices
that DO NOT have to be distributed via “Google Play” (Google App Store). If we provide the
App from Google Play, then BIG TECH can shut us down anytime they want (censorship). If we
use an App that is distributed DIRECTLY from the developer, we do NOT have to go through
Google Play. This is only true for Android Devices. Apple has a proprietary OS and it
requires that all Apps must come from iTunes (Apple App Store). So that we are not
under the control of Big Tech, the Mobile App we recommend for BroomsMen will only
run on Android devices.
If you currently have an Apple iPhone ... and you want to use the Mobile App and
be connected with other BroomsMen, we suggest you get a “cheap” Android burner phone and
dedicate it to BroomsMen activities.
The SentryMDU Mobile App is free to download and use. The Mobile App is provided by Digi-Lumen Technologies, LLC, the developer of this software (and sponsor of BroomsMen.Org). Since this App is commercial software designed for First Responders there are “premium” options ($$ subscription) available. However, for most BroomsMen Members, the standard free version should be more than adequate. Read the SentryMDU User Guide for details.
