navigation software Sygic. The app enables parents to see real-time location of their
children, making countless phone calls to check on where kids are unnecessary. The app is
going live today on Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
"We wanted to create an app that will help its users in their everyday life. As
parents we want to raise our children to be self-reliant but we also need to have
confidence that they are safe. Family by Sygic gives parents this peace of mind, while

where they are," said Sygic's CEO Michal Stencl.

leave a zone. Geofence is useful for one-time notification when user enters certain area.
