Parents who have issues wondering where their boisterous children might be up to can use a new application that will track them down, called "Ignore No More".
The ides was brainstormed by Texas mother Sharon Standirfird who was sick and tired of her kids not responding to her calls when they were out. What the app does is it shuts down available activities on the child's phone whenever the parent deems fit, except for the ability to call 911. The teen won't be able to call their friends or play games. In order to unlock the phone, the child will have to pay a visit to their parents or respond to their call.
"When you lock your child's phone with Ignore No More your child has only two options - he or she can call you back, or call for an emergency responder," Standifird said, via the News Ledge. "No calls to friends, no text, no games, notta' until they call you back. When they do, you can unlock their phone if you choose to do so. How's that for parental control?"
"Now you have their attention. Ignore No More is an easy to install app that gives you control over your children's phones." She added.
This is the first mobile app that actually locks someone else's phone. There are many other parental apps that some family's may find useful.
"My son hates it and I love it," Liane Parker wrote in her review of the app on the Google play store. "Love the idea, even good for bedtime when you want them off the phone," reviewed Lamiya Keyes Mewborn.
Some teen's disagree with the app. "I thought it was a good idea, but for other people, not me" said Standifird's own son, Bradley.
