WSJ Live and Market Watch Tech reporter Quentin Fottrell says "I Like This One!... I really like it." about Iconosys' Trick or Tracker[R] App

Orange County, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March, 11th 2014 / Today, Iconosys, a leading developer of over 1000 family safety, lifestyle, and entertainment Smartphone apps (including the ever popular Word Bully[R] and Drive Reply[R] apps), is pleased to announce that its "super-app" Trick or Tracker[R] has recently been profiled on www.MarketWatch.com and in the Wall Street Journal Live "Lunch Break" broadcast last Friday. Trick or Tracker[R] is the popular family safety app that allows parents, children, and other family members to keep track of each other's whereabouts.

Trick or Tracker[R] was originally developed to provide parents with a means of effectively monitoring their trick-or-treating children on Halloween night, although it is used by most all year round. The app allows parents to monitor whereabouts and locations of one or more of their children or loved ones from a single smart device. In addition to bi-directional tracking, parents can set an allowable perimeter and receive notifications if their child travels outside of this perimeter, or pre-set destinations like their home or school and receive notifications when the child arrives at his or her destination. And because many, if not most of us are now using and carrying Smartphones on a daily basis, and this app alleviates the fear and stress that concerned parents, children, or spouses might otherwise have about losing track of each other.

When it was introduced in autumn of 2010, the Trick or Tracker[R] app was an instant hit … becoming so popular that it was prominently featured on such television shows as Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. Today, after continued press coverage and publicity, not to mention 10's of thousands of downloads, Trick or Tracker[R] continues to be the Halloween family safety app of choice, with the Chicago Tribune naming it the #1 app for Halloween 2013 just last fall. And with recent improvements and technology updates to the app done late last year (see discussion below regarding the app’s special technology features), it has become as essential as ever – a real “must have” phone accessory - for parents who need to keep close tabs on their loved ones.

The WSJ Live program reviewed Trick or Tracker[R], along with two other locator apps – “Connect” and “TopSpy” during a segment titled: "Three Ways to Spy on Your Spouse or Kids (Legally). #WSJLIVE #TRICKORTRACKER #MONSTERARTS
