    Im going to update this first post once a day with a new App:

    Life 360 Family Protection:

    RATING: 4.75/5

    (5,366 Installed)


    Description: This works across Android AND iPhone for free.

    Life360 Security Center, turns your phone into the ultimate safety device.
    Life360 Security Center
    With the Life360 Security Center, turn your Android phone into the ultimate mobile safety device.


    This is what it does:

    * Track your family's real-time location using GPS
    * View nearby safety resources and threats via the sex offender registry
    * See who needs help instantly with safety check-in alerts
    Child and family safety is the number one concern for modern parents. But with today's dangers comes brand-new technology that lets parents have peace of mind when it comes to family security. The Life360 Security Center brings all of those technologies into one easy-to-use mobile app.
    CHILD TRACKER
    * Keep your family safe with cell phone tracking system
    * Know when your child needs help and where they are with the GPS tracker
    * GPS Tracking is perfect for teens and new drivers
    * Recognized by Fox News, CNBC, and other major media outlets
    OFFENDER SEARCH
    * Identify sexual predators, child molesters, and pedophiles
    * Access the national sex offender registry (the most up-to-date offender database)
    * See the sex offender list and Megan's Law profiles for each offender
    * Search using your phone's location/GPS


    This is the spiel from the developer, but how does it actually work in real life?

    1. I was pretty impressed with the accuracy of the App, got me to within 1 house over.

    2. Tracks Hospitals, Garda and Fire Stations.

    3. Viewed Registered Sex Offenders in Dublin, this is actually worth downloading the app for this feature alone. One particular scumbag lives in the city center beside Trinity. Aware yourselves.

    4. Check Ins worked well, you can update your Family and let them know where you are at any time. E.g. when my child arrives safely at school he taps the checkin and I know he s safe and sound.

    5. Computer tracking, I can have a tab open in the browser that lets me know where my family is and if they're ok.

    6. PANIC BUTTON , yes this is good, they send a call, an email and a text to the people you've added.


    Use it if
    You have a Child so you can know where and how they are, Elderly Relative or anyone you want to know is safe. For instance, most people generally have a mobile phone on them, if your elderly Mother or Father has a bad fall at their home with no-one around they can just tap the Panic button and you'll be notified along with everyone you have set up. This is a big concern and handled well here.

    Cheers for the Testing Seany and others its going very well, had over 100 downloads of the Free Doodle Jump App yesterday :-).

    Quick question for everyone,

    I do an App a day Download as part of the Android App Store, would people mind much if I posted the 1 App here?

    -no advertising, just 1 link per day that you can click to download the App if you want.
    -will not take you off boards, you can download and install from the comfort of boards. :-)
    - no spam, just 1 link per day with a review and pictures of a single good App.

    All Free.


    Cheers,
    Ger.

    This is an example of the 1 a day Free Apps:

    Solitaire for Android:

    Description:

    Well we all know and love Solitaire and now you can have it for Android for Free,
    -its a Fairly simple collection contains - Regular, Spider, Freecell, Forty Thieves

    Along with Hold-Em s poker it makes the commute to Dublin everyday actually a little bearable.

    Tis a solid App and well worth the Download. The Desktop version has all but eaten my life on various occasions and the Droid version seems no different.

    Best of luck with Appsville, but this guy does NOT live in Dublin - he lives in Wisconsin.
    He just has Dublin in his address. Don't think there'll be any support in an app for Irish registers any time soon.
