OK, so here we have a WTF iPhone App that deserves a post all of its own. Teen Tracker, you see, claims to help you keep track of where your teenager is. They can’t lie ever again! If they say they’re at the mall, you’ll know if it’s true or not because Teen Tracker will tell you!
And it’s *so easy to use*!
Let’s go through the instructions, shall we? Hmm?
“Step 1: Purchase & Install Teen Tracker on your Teen’s Iphone.”
OK. Well, I’m sure this will work. I mean, I don’t know any teenagers who’ll object to their parents installing software on their phones. None of them will mind having an icon called “Teen Tracker” there, I’m certain. And it’s 100 per cent guaranteed that NONE OF THEM will know how to remove the app again. No way. Not in a million years.
“Step 2: Call your Teen and ask them to open Teen Tracker.”
Wait. Wait a minute - call your teen and ASK THEM TO USE THE TRACKING DEVICE YOU INSTALLED ON THEIR PHONE?
Do these people even HAVE offspring?
“Step 3: Teen Tracker pinpoints your Teens location, and sends you a SECURE, UN-EDITABLE email link to their location (a map). They type in your email address and you get it instantly.”
WHAT?? “They type in your address…”??? So not only do they suffer the indignity of having a tracking device installed on their phone, the kids then have to ist in their own tracking! Wonderful! That’s SO going to be a big hit in high schools everywhere.
This application, ladies and gentlemen, only costs a mere five of your American dollars. Five. Dollars.
