Halloween with friends in the neighborhood instead of their parents this year.}

Life 360: Ultimate Safety App.

Life 360 turns your phone into the ultimate safety device and lets you know where your family is located and when your loved ones are in need of help. The app is free in the Android Market and options for premium features, such as tracking pets, are available as well.

RED PANIC BUTTON

The free version of this app allows trick-or-treaters the option to press the Red Panic Button to automatically send out a text message with their exact coordinates on Google™ Maps to family members. So when mom texts and asks “Where are you?” a child can quickly and easily send them a map giving their exact location. Panic can also be shared on Facebook and Twitter.
