Parisians worried about safety in the French capital can download an app which allows them to report, locate and avoid "hazardous locations." It comes as France remains at the highest possible terrorism alert.
The ‘No-Go Zone’ app allows users to share instances of "aggression, theft, harassment, or incivility" in the city, and mark the location of those events on a map.
Others can view the entries, allowing them to be informed about what is happening around them.
"Whether you are staying in an unknown location, looking for a safe place to live, on your way to a specific location, or for whatever reason, No-Go Zone allows you to reduce any risk of aggression, theft, harassment or incivility," the app's description states.

Reviews for the app, which now has an installation count of 1,000-5,000, are mostly positive, with many users calling it "essential" and an "excellent idea."
In what appeared to be a reference to France's immigrant population, one user called the app an "indispensable application for anyone who thinks that the cultural 'enrichment' of non-natives is not compatible with our way of life."
