Stay Safe with Digi Family Safety App

Child abduction case has always happening in our country, many children have been reported missing recently. As a parent of two lovely girls, I am very worrying their safety especially I am a working mom whom don’t have time to take care of them 24 hours. While my daughters are taken-care by trusted caregivers, I have never taken their safety for granted.

Thanks to the latest innovation and technology, Digi has launched their Family Safety App recently. As a Digi user, I get to try them out for FREE, yay!

According to the Digi, Digi Family Safety App is a solution for people like us who want to know that their children or elderly relatives are safe at all times. Parental controls give parents additional ability to put restrictions in place for how their children use their smartphones. I believe most teenagers have their own phone in this tech-savvy era, so this app is great for us parents to stay connected with our kids.

With Digi Family Safety App, we can enjoy a lot of features including;

1. Family Location - Locate your family on your smartphone or the web in real time. I love this feature the most, as we can keep track of our kids in real-time without worrying the limitation of distance.

2. Geo-fencing - Create safety zones for family members. For example, I have make the home and my caregivers’ home as the safety zones for my kids.

3. Notifications - Be alerted when family members arrive or leave the designated areas.

4. Check-ins - Check-in regularly to let others know where you are. I actually do love check-ins function as it shows us where our kids are checking-in.

5. Panic Alert - Send an emergency alert with your location to all family phones. This is another powerful function for my kids to send a panic alert to us when any emergency happens.

6. Parental Controls - Control by rating what apps can be used. Restrict App Store and In App Purchases usage. As a parent of two girls, this is great function for me to control their usage on the phone.

7. Phone Security - Find and ring any family phone if lost or stolen. We could find our phone with this function now.

Digi Family Safety App comes in 2 options, namely the Freemium and Premium.

Freemium plan allows the user to connect up to 2 family members, check your family members’ location whenever you need, check-in on a specific location (for example when our kids get to school), create up to 2 Safety Areas to get automatic geofencing alerts, see how was the day by glancing your Family Activity, and immediately alert all family members by sending a Panic Alert.
