Abstract

This poster session discusses the interface design for a smartphone app interface intended to empower domestic violence survivors by giving them greater control over geolocation services. User experience and feedback from local domestic violence representatives and administrators were critical to the final interface design. The three main features of the app to be discussed are: a scan feature to check for and notify users of apps using geolocation services; a feature that would completely disable geolocation services; and an option to receive a pop-up notification any time an app attempts to use geolocation services.
