Memorial Day Launch and Promotion for Family Watch, the Mobile Safety App That Watches Over Summer Travel

    PLEASANTON, CA, May 31, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- GeniusWave announces Family Watch for Android. The safety and security mobile application is now available in over 5 Android App Stores Worldwide. To promote family safety for the summer, the new mobile app offers a free download and free trial services. The promotional period last to June 15th, encouraging families to travel safe and better monitor their children as get out and enjoy summer at the park, the mall, or camping, hiking or cycling.

The Family Watch app helps watch over family or friends when they travel, play in the neighborhood, at the mall, or coming home late at night. Based on prevention and location-based technology, the app can be used to register an event, track using GPS, and issue a call for help when they don't arrive safely. Also use it as a panic button to send an immediate message to your contact list.

The app builds on the principal of prevention is better than cure. When faced with an emergency situation, FamilyWatch will automatically trigger help without the need for user intervention. Often people do not have the opportunity to call for help during an emergency, even unable to use their phones panic button. During these situations people are not able to react because the phone is off, out of cell range, force in an unwanted position, or in panic mode. Family Watch uniquely reacts for you.

"Parents have always tried to watch over their kids' safety while providing some independence. This need is especially acute during the summer. Family Watch helps manage this balancing act using tracking services and GPS technology," says Greg Dierickse, Founder and CMO at GeniusWave. James Khoo, developer and CEO of SecQ.me also adds, "The early reaction from our Android users, has wanting to get the applications out to as many families as possible, and the promotion is a great way to try it out. This type of check-in services using GPS has become very popular and we see user adoption greatly increasing, while the technology itself is tested, true and reliable."
