User Experience

I really liked that this application could be used in so many different ways; it truly is versatile. The user experience is elevated by the fact that it just comes in handy in so many ways. You can use this to monitor your house, boat, cottage, or any other property. The service levels you can choose from are Premium, Basic, and Free, giving you a lot of customization options.

Features

Depending on what you use the app to monitor, the features are a little bit different. If you're using it for personal safety reasons such out on a hike, a bike ride, a walk through the neighborhood in the evening, your route is actually followed in real-time. Once home you can check it on a map. You can have your child carry it when out and about so you're aware of his or her real-time location. If you would like you can receive and send alert messages no matter where you are, and the message will automatically include your location.

On the flip side if you're using the app to monitor your house, boat, cottage, or other property, then you'll get notifications anytime someone moves your device, there is power cut, or a sound alarm is detected. You'll receive video clips and pictures sent to your phone as well. You are given a maximum of two devices logged into the same account for free.

Personal Comments by Reviewer

I liked how versatile this app proved to be. Maybe you don’t need to monitor a house, cottage, or anything else but as a personal safety device it has plenty of merits. There are just so many ways to use this app.
