Ghanaian start-up launches mobile tracking app for parents, employers
A Ghana-based software company has launched a mobile phone tracking solution for parents and employers.
It is an App meant for only legal use and has various advanced features for parents to track and monitor the activities of their children and for employers to track and monitor activities and location of staff on-field duties in real-time.

While many parents assume their kids who are under 16 spend a few hours on the phone daily, in reality, many kids spend more hours on the phone.
“Sometimes it is easy to let kids use the phone when a parent is busy or wants some quiet time. But the increased use of smartphones and tablets by children leads to many problems,” said CEO of the start-up company, Interactive Edge Limited, Mr Agbeko Dzamesi.
The App is therefore aimed at helping parents to intervene in cases of cyberbullying for their children, monitor and prevent them from visiting adult content websites, and body image issues that kids face.
Apart from first physically moderating the use of smartphones and using security like phone monitoring apps, fingerprint locks on phones, and giving it away to children only for a few minutes a day, which sounds like a better option than buying them their phones, the MobiSafe App can help parents to control the router level.
They can block adult websites and malicious websites, so their kids can’t access it.
Parents can also check on their kids' social media accounts and still respect their kid’s privacy using MobiSafe.
Companies into sales and marketing also have a peculiar problem of not being able to track and monitor the movement and activities of their staff in the field.
MobiSafe provides handy tools such as geo-fencing and live location tracking to help them monitor and make timely decisions to save cost and time.
The Mobile Tracking App currently works on android devices only and has additional features such as Keylogger, Phone call tracking, SMS Tracking, Photos, Videos, Whatsapp Tracking, Instagram Tracking, Snapchat Tracking, Facebook Tracking, Contacts, Location Tracking, Geo-Fencing, Keyword Monitoring, Wifi, Website Tracking and many more.
The app currently is priced at $19.99 per month with a 3-day free trial.
