If you work in one or more of the 9 countries in the region typically referred to as the Levant, and if you’re at all concerned about security, consider this app..

No long-term essays or opinions. Just straight facts as submitted by on-the-ground observers. Evidently, there are 8 countries supported now: Yemen, Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, with more on the way. Get news feeds of major events/threats, a calendar with potential threats/issues (strikes, anniversaries, etc), a map view, and push notifications of threats and protests. You can report protests/issues, so they are using expert analysis and crowd sourced data. It’s pretty cool. Pricing is below $300/year and there’s a 2-week trial. Plus they have bulk pricing. Promising app of the week. (Thanks for the tip, Caleb!)
