For parents who worry about their children's whereabouts when they leave the house — there's an app for that.
Amber Alert GPS introduced a device and corresponding app Wednesday that allows parents to rest easy when the kids are away. The new device boasts GPS technology, AT&T connectivity and a corresponding online portal.
This protection package features unique alerts for your child's safety. Not only can users track their child's whereabouts through GPS and zoning, they also have access to a two-way calling function as well as an SOS button. Want to be able to contact your kid sans cell phone? This is the device for you.
Amber Alert GPS has also integrated the National Sex Offender database. Whenever your child is within 500 feet of a registered offender's home, you will be alerted via text and/or email.
The free Amber Alert Parent app brings all of these features to your fingertips. The app is currently available exclusively to Android users, but an iOS version is in the works.
