Key Features:

• Real-time Location Tracking: View your child's current location and a history of their movements throughout the day on an interactive map. Prevent your child from visiting unsafe areas. Compatible with smartwatches.
• Surround Sound Monitoring: Listen to the audio environment around your child for reassurance. (Requires app installation and setup on the child's phone.)
• Remote Alert System: Send a loud signal to your child's phone or smartwatch if it's misplaced or on silent.
• Screen Time Management: Monitor app usage and limit screen time, effectively replacing other parental control apps.
• Location-Based Notifications: Receive timely alerts when your child arrives at school, returns home, or reaches other designated locations.
• Low Battery Alerts: Stay informed about your child's device battery level and receive notifications when it's running low. Works with both phones and smartwatches.
• Secure Family Chat: Communicate with your child using the app's built-in chat function, complete with stickers and voice messages.

Basic location tracking is free after device connection. Other features have limited access in the free version; a subscription unlocks full functionality. If your child doesn't have a phone, consider purchasing a compatible smartwatch.
