App developer Sharon Standifird from Houston, Texas, has designed ‘Ignore No More’ which allows parents to control their children’s smartphones.
All mums and dads need to do to use the app is enter a code and their child’s named and they’ll be able to lock their offspring’s phone.
The app is designed to stop youngsters using features on their phones if they choose to ignore any messages from their parents.
When the phone is locked an approved list of contacts appears, meaning that they need to respond to their mum or dad’s phone calls or texts.
Standifird has been using the app herself, and her son is reportedly better at responding to her messages, meaning there are a few less arguments!
The app costs just over £1 and is so far only available in the US, but do you think it should be available here in the UK?
