A mother in the United States has developed a mobile application (app) that guarantees kids will answer their parents’ texts and calls. The app was launched on Saturday.
Ignore No More, an app developed by Sharon Standifird from Texas, enables parents to lock the phones of their children if they think they are ignoring their texts and calls.
Standifird revealed in a televised interview that the parents, through this app, can take away texting, calling, gaming, and internet-surfing from their kids.
In order to use the app, it must be installed first to the phones of both the parents and their children. Then, once installed, parents can open the app on their smartphone, and click the name of their child. Next, they will have to enter the unlock code twice and then click to lock their child’s phone.
The child’s phone will be locked and with a single tap, and a list of contacts approved by the parent will appear. The child should then call someone from the contact list in order to get the password that will unlock the phone.
The app will enable kids to call 911 and once installed, Ignore No More cannot be disabled.
Ignore No More is currently available for $1.99 to US citizens and will only operate on Android-supported phones. A version for iPhone is underway.
