iPhone App: Mamabear offers parents with information regarding a child locations

Mamabear app for iPhone, an app uses  GPS to provide parents with information regarding a child's location, and alerts when a child has arrived and departed from places a parent deems safe or unsafe.

Dowload and Install on two devices:

  • For the parent, the app functions like stream of information providing a home screen with a map of the child's location and a few simple buttons to send messages, check alerts, and adjust settings. 
  • For the child, however, the app is more like a game controller with vibrant icons he or she can tap to send notifications.

In addition to GPS-based location alerts, the app offers a few more features parents will find useful: Users can monitor Facebook and Instagram activity, such as when their child adds new friends to their accounts or when he or she is tagged in photos, as well as set a maximum speed limit in order to receive alerts when a child is driving over the speed limit.

How to use: Once you download the app and set up an account, parents must then create a profile for their child on their own phone with information such as a name, phone number, and birthday. If a parent is monitoring more than one child, he or she can assign a color to each child in order to keep track of them on the map. From there, parents can set up safe and restricted places, as well as social media driving alerts.

Mamabear is free and works on both iPhone and Android  platforms making this an accessible app to use regardless of what type of device family members have.

With many children venturing out for Halloween this year, perhaps for the first time on their own, an app like Mamabear may give parents an added bit of comfort reducing the anxiety and street they feel around their child's safety.
