What happens if they are kidnapped or got into an accident? This lingering feeling can best be reduced by the use of technology. By giving your kids a phone you can actually track them wherever they are. There are many methods to this. For this post I am going to list down some of the apps for tracking your kids.

Find iphone apps
This simple little apps that need to be downloaded from Apple store is quite handy in tracking where your kids location. The advantage is that it can pinpoint directly the location of your kid device. However, it only tells you where your kids are at the exact time but not previous locations.

SeekDroid enables you to manage your device remotely. Once you have installed Seek Droid, you can locate your device, remotely lock it, see all the recent calls since you misplaced it, and even wipe the device with little effort.

This app is available for Android and can be find in Google Play store. It tracks the kids cellphone using GPS similar to the Find Iphone apps.

Find My Kids Footprints
This app is arguably one of the best app to track the whereabout of your kids. It just not tells where they are but also where they have been before. It gives you the footprint of your kid and where they have been previously. It can also set perimeter fence and will alert you if your kid have breach outside the perimeter area.

Amber Alert GPS
This is a product by itself and arguably the best devise in terms of protecting your kids from harms and danger. It uses GPS and it comes with a monthly subscription fee but it comes with extensive features. It also equip with SOS button in case your kid are in danger. Another advantage is that you can also track your kid through your computer.

This is another interesting app that uses GPS technology and helps keep track of your family. It allows for your family to check-in on certain places and alert you that they have safely arrived to their destination. You can practically see all of your family location in a map. Your family locations are kept in private and they also let you chat with your family as well.

Tracking your lost iPhone

So, you just come home from your dinner with friends and suddenly you do not know where you put your iPhone. Did you left it at the restaurant or at work? Or probably it is still in your house. You probably fear the worse that someone might have stolen your iPhone. Luckily locating an iPhone is quite easy with the Find iPhone apps.

First of all you need to download this app to your iPhone. Then you must log in to the app with your Apple account ID. Once activated, the device will share its location. The minimum network requirement for it to track the device is either through GPS signal, 3G, WiFi, or location triangulation via cell towers. What is a location triangulation via cell towers? I will deliberate on this in future post.

If you have an ipad or any other Apple devices, you can easily track your iPhone by logging into your account via the find iPhone apps. There it will list all of your devices that are connected to the iCloud. Once it detected your device, it will show the location of your device on a map. You can also have the option of remote triggering the device to omit ringing sound or lock it so that it cannot be used by unwanted parties. Other interesting thing is that you can also follow other people’s Apple’s devices through your list of contact.

Once you select the list of contact you want to follow, it will notify your friends and family that you are following them through the iPhone apps. It is a very neat app and it can also reduce your worries if you lose your iPhone or misplaced them. However, please beware that if you do have your phone stolen and when you use the app, it tracks down your phone to a single location; please do not just barge in to that place to retrieve your phone. You will never know how dangerous the thieves might be.

Do not get yourself hurt or die just because of an iPhone. Your life is much more valuable. Get some help. The police are the best choice to report to and let them do the job.
