iCurfew: keeping kids and worried parents in touch

Rate this

Average rating:

Developer’s description: iCurfew is an easy way for kids and parents to check in with each other remotely. Kids use iCurfew to send a link to a Google map that uses GPS to indicate their exact location. Kids can then add a message like “Running late” or “Ready to be picked up.” At the movies, at a friend’s house, or across the world, kids can stay in touch with worried parents. Mom and Dad will worry less if the kids’ coordinates are being updated, especially since iCurfew verifies real-time location with an un-editable link

Pros: Unobtrusive.

Cons: Whatever happened to trust?

MOBILE APPS SHOWDOWN

The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the 2013 CES, we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try the apps, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile, it's in the competition.

The top ten apps will join us at 2013 CES for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Wrap Up Show.
