Cell phones and tablets are everywhere these days. Everyone has one and they tend to make our life a lot easier, especially those amazing Smart Phones and their just as amazing apps. Cell phones make it easier to check in with our family and friends, keep up-to-date with everything that is happening, and give us peace of mind when we are out and about. Moby by Contigo has developed an app that will make things even easier.
Moby is a private location sharing service for you, and the people that matter to you.
Unlike other location sharing services, Moby only shares your location with the people you choose and for the length of time you want. With Moby, you are in complete control of your privacy.
With Moby you can also request help at the touch of a button, instantly notifying your chosen contacts where you are.
I love the idea that this app allows you to choose who you connect and share with. I personally don't need the whole world knowing my exact location at all times. And I definitely don't want them knowing where my children are. With Moby's app, you no longer have to worry about where your loved one is because with the phone's Check-in function you will be updated. My mom and I tested the iPhone version out and it is very easy to use. You can choose when you want to Share your location and with who, you can check in with a simple touch of the button, or you can send an alert if you need to notify someone of something immediately. The alerts and check-ins send a push notification to your phone so you will never miss when a message is sent. I also love the fact you can download this app for FREE! If you are like me and have limited amounts of texting each month, this app can help you out there too. When you check in, you can attach a little message to it and your recipient can send you a message back.
Moby is also an excellent app for Realtors. I recently talked to a realtor friend who said her group was working together as a team to try and develop better safety protocols. With Moby's free app, they can check in with each other and someone will always know where they are.
The same principal applies for college students. I remember how scary it was sometimes walking through a dark campus. Moby's Free app will allow them to check in with their friends and roommates to help them feel a little safer. It can also help when students are getting together for a study group, lunch, or any other activity. College campus' are huge places, but with Moby's app you can locate your friends in an instance.
Download Moby's app today with your iPhone, iPad, or Blackberry device. Moby realizes how large the Android market is too and they are currently working on finishing the app for the Android Market. And thanks to Moby by Contigo, one lucky Follower of Between the Lines (you must be a follower) will win a brand new Apple iPad2, 16GB, Wi-Fi ($499 retail). Prize will be provided by Moby. A HUGE thank you to Moby for providing such a great prize.

A single tap on the alert button will send your child’s exact location and alert status to you via SMS/e-mail or within Moby’s own interface.
You Can send text like messages to all your contacts at once.
like that you can personalize it to share with whom you want verses anyone else who just has the app. more secure that way.
I like that you can personalize who you share you local with vs. just anyone can see who uses the app.--more secure, private and yet serving of the purpose.
It's a nice feature that you can check in without much time, just click and done. Makes it much easier to check in a gives everyone peace of mind
Having a daughter getting ready to go off to college next year, I like all the applications for students safety!
I love this idea - great for keeping tabs on the family!
As a mom of 2 college students, I found it interesting that this product is great for them. One of the benefits for college students is that you can "share your exact location with your friends to easily coordinate a meeting spot."
I like the Alert Request help with a tap, and instantly your selected family and friends will know where you are,
NICE

I love the application as a whole, and love the alert feature. My daughter is at soccer practice while I often run errands so something like this is exactly what I've been looking for.
I learned that Moby’s location sharing tool allows you and your family to keep track of your each others’ up-to-date location for a pre-set period of time. That is awesome!
I like that you can share your location for a certain amount of time only!
I love that you can keep track of family members and where they are. This would be perfect on vacation when you want to split up a little bit!
I like that it will eliminate a lot of texting back and forth since you're able to keep tabs on your family members!
I like that you can sure your location privately.
felecia@twinoaksfl.org
I like that you can do private check ins for family members so you can find them as necessary. It looks like a great app.
I found that Moby is a simple cell phone location tracking app that puts safety in reach wherever you and your family members are....ciao4now64@yahoo.com
It's nice that you can disable location sharing quickly & easily and that Moby gives you the tools you need to protect your privacy & control who can see your location.
I like that you can choose who sees your locale
beckandcallgirl @ hotmail dot com
I can tell someone where I am, if I need a lift for some unfortunate reason.
I love that you can schedule Moby to ask "Are you OK?" and alert contacts if you don't respond. Great safety feature!
Allibird1 at aol dot com
I learned that you can import contacts right from your address book. This sounds really great!
ksceviour at hotmail dot com
I love this app! Had no idea it existed! I like how you can track your children on this!!
I love the checking in feature!
I love that you only share with people you choose. So many apps share your information with anyone, and it doesn't make me feel safe at all... not that i have ANY apps LOL. I NEED an iPad! My phone is basic and doesn't suppport apps, and my ereader is a very basic android, without any bells and whistles, so I'm very limited on what I can add that will actually work. I'd SOOOOOO love to be able to blog and use apps on my brand new iPad thanks to you and Moby ;)!
That said, I'll try to be nice and wish everyone good luck, but I might be crossing my fingers and toes for this one!
PS - I'm going to try to download the android app, but I'm not going to hold my breath that it will work as I don't have gps on my Pandigital eReader...
In all seriousness, it is really nice of Moby to do this for your readers, and it is great that you are hosting such a great giveaway. Thanks!
Wendi :)
Though it will be a long time before I ever need to know the location of my children (they are always with me)I think that the being able to know where your kids are is a great thing. Especially in this day and age where something could go wrong in the blink of an eye. I also like the fact that if i were in a car accident of if i got injured and there was nothing I could do I like that people would be able to easily find you with this app.
megnate at telus dot net
I like that you can share location privately
my favorite is the Request that your child check-in with you, by simply tapping a button within Moby’s interface to easily update you with their status and location to let you know they are OK. I COULD SURE USE THAT ONE !!!

Track and Locate Kids! That is soo important with kids using the internet as young as 5 or older these days. It is very scary place IMO.
I am really excited about using Moby to keep track of my daughter's where-abouts. How do they do it....you know? I'm really excited to see the app. in use.

i like the alet system that tells folks you need help. great for my folks
nannypanpan at gmail.com
i love the check in that sounds great and it would be great for someone older that is sick.
The most important thing is that this helps me keep track of where my 16 yr old son is especially since he is often out in the woods jumping dirt hills with his bike or in parking lots doing street bmx riding at random places all over all day, now in just seconds he can check in and enjoy his freedome while I enjoy my peace of mind knowing where he is. Awesome this app is free too I loaded mine on my IPOD TOUCH 4 straight from the app store on my device
my email is heartnsoul67@msn.com

I had never heard of this app before but I like the option to choose who you share your updates with. This would be especially nice for my teenager and two preteens to use!
I LOVE the alert button! You never know what can happen, and this is just one more way to get help fast!
I love that it works for Android, Apple, and Blackberry! :)

This app would be great for me and my husband to use. He does alot of outdoor work and hunting, so it would be great for me to know that he's ok, when it's past time for him to be in.
You Can send text like messages to all your contacts at once.
I like how you can choose who you share your location with.

I love the safety aspect of this app!!
I really like that it allows you to share your location with only a few people. This will allow me to let my family know Im in classes so they dont call me repeatedly!
I appreciate that Moby gives you the tools you need to protect your privacy & control as to who can see your location and who cannot.
I like that you can check in on the kids and see if their okay and also share your location

Moby’s location sharing tool allows you and your family to keep track of your each others’ up-to-date location for a pre-set period of time.
This app looks awesome! I just want to try it out so much!
I love the idea of being able to keep track of family members. Especially with kids that are out and about more than they are hoe.
Indeed Moby is a great tool especially for parents who want to make sure that their kids are safe. Foursquare is a great tool for the same purpose but Moby's privacy feature is a big plus especially now that privacy already seems to be a luxury instead of the norm.
i love the idea of privatley sharing with family members,
my tweet didnt copy in right tweeted as tynapier1:I http://twitter.com/#!/TyNapier1/status/118773676538728449
It can keep track of where you are, point by point, if your family needs to know how far you are from home.
My daughter isn't close to having her own phone - but I kind of like this option as one I'd give my parents so I could keep tabs on them for a change! Great idea for an app. Thanks for the chance to win!
I like the ability to customize who sees your location.
pizzanumber2 at yahoo dot com
I like the check in you can schedule to alert contacts if you don't respond (which there were more apps like this)

Learned there's many uses to this app, like if you have a flat tire, or are running late, etc. Seems like a cool app!
animasou at comcast dot net
This is a fantastic app, especially in case of emergencies when you need to contact everybody ASAP.
being able to connect with whomever you want to reach...and privately is very important.
I think it's great for emergency uses- and you're able to contact certain people (your choice) for help!

I like that you can Empower your family members and gain peace of mind knowing that your kids and spouse can alert you instantly with their location when they need your help.
I learned that if you want to know if your child or spouse is OK but don’t want to interrupt them with a phone call, you could request that your child check-in with you, by simply tapping a button within Moby’s interface to easily update you with their status and location to let you know they are OK.
