PlumbBrain Guardian

June 6, 2011

PlumbBrain Guardian is an app designed for an absolute worst case scenario – if one of your children were to go missing. It’s a parents worst nightmare and this app wants to alleviate some of your fear by helping you feel prepared should something ever happen. PlumbBrain Guardian will store information about your children that you could quickly access to help find your child. You will create profiles for your children and then upload their current photograph. You can also add in a description or notes about your child. Once you have added in this information it will be stored within PlumbBrain. Should you lose sight of your child you can quickly pull up the photo and show it to people in the area. If you have to go beyond asking bystanders for help then you can use the app to send out email alerts. These emails will go to people who may help you find your child. They will include your contact information, your child’s photograph and a photograph of you. You will have added this photo when you set up your profile in the app.

This is all extremely helpful and important but the next feature is what made me think PlumbBrain Guardian is really onto something. If you’re like me you would install this app on your phone, add the photographs and then forget about it. Hoping I’d never need to use it and so never going back to update the information. Should something happen years later the only picture I would have of my fifteen year old daughter would be a photo from when she was eleven. PlumbBrain has thought about people like me and they have built alerts into their app. When you setup your account you may schedule alerts that will remind you to update your children’s photos. Reminders can be set as frequently as weekdays, weekly, monthly or annually. This is a fantastic feature!.

I have several apps on my iPhone that fall into the category of “Hope I NEVER have to use them but I’m VERY glad I have them” and PlumbBrain Guardian is solidly in that category. This is a free and useful app you should definitely get your hands on.

Individual Text Tones for Contacts

My 9 year old daughter told me about an iOS 5 feature that I was totally unaware of until last week. Miss S. showed me how to set up individual text tones for my contacts.

What I Do

I review iPhone apps for moms. I have a decent grasp of techy things but the technical guts (for lack of a better word) of how the apps work are beyond me. So my reviews will be practical and purely subjective. Reviews for moms by a real life, actual mom. My kids will vouch for me.
