What parents need to know
Parents need to know that I'mOK is a location-based security app that helps kids and parents stay connected. Users check in at their current location (as identified by GPS) using either a pre-defined or custom message. The information is shared with those in a parent-defined "clan." You can add messages, pictures, and the amount of time you expect to remain in that location. Kids receive points for checking in, and additional points for adding more information. They can then create a wish list for things to earn with their points, which encourages them to keep in touch.

While the app is not designed to be educational, it may encourage responsibility and accountability.
