With increasing numbers of sports users wearing in-ear and closed headphones, there are serious safety issues caused by their isolation from the world around them.
Awareness! solves the problem of headphone isolation, by feeding the outside world into the music, allowing users to listen to their music and remain fully world aware.
This is an essential app for music listening pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, bikers, joggers, runners and others who need audio awareness for safety’s sake.
