o   Trick or Tracker is an app that allows parents to track their children while they are out gathering treats. Additionally, the app has a safety compass to help point children in the direction of their home, if they were to get lost.

o   Drive Safe Mode, disables texting and emailing on Android phones while on the road. The app senses when the car is driving at a predetermined speed and prevents use of the keyboard while the vehicle is in motion.
