App Allows You to Follow Your Kids While They Trick-or-Treat

If this is the year that your kids are old enough to go our trick-or-treating on their own and you're nervous (and what parent isn't?) but know that you need to allow them to wander from the nest, there's an app you'll want to download before they go out on Halloween night.

The Trick or Tracker app uses GPS to pinpoint exactly where your kids are at all times and it can also be programmed so that your kids will check in with you at pre-determined times.

And if your kids are known for wandering a little further from home than you'd like, the app will also allow you to set up something called “geo-fences” which will alert you if your kid sets foot outside of the area you've told them is save to travel.

The app is available for both iPhone and Android.
