What does it do? It uses GPS to provide the parents information about where their child is and when they leave or arrive places.
To use it, both the guardian and the child must download it to their phone. For the parent, the app streams information such as a map to where the child is and buttons such as to send messages, check alerts, and change settings. For the child, the app has various icons they can use to send notifications. For example, the child can send a car icon to let their parent know that they want to get picked up. If parents are monitoring more than one child, they can change the colors on the map of where their child is.
The app also offers a feature where parents can monitor Instagram and Facebook activity. For example, if their child adds a new friend or are tagged in photos.
Installing: When you download it, it requires a few steps to get started. Parents must create an account and profile with information such as their name, birthday, and phone number.
Trying it out: Some parents might look at this app as one of the best things ever because they're able to know where their child is and what they're doing and if they're safe. But in my opinion, I would not like my parents doing this. I feel like parents that do this don't trust their children. They have to give their kid freedom so they can learn to become independent. If a parent is interested in trying this out with their child, then by all means, download it and use, but thank God my parents barely know how to go to their pictures on their phone so they won't be able to use it on me.
