If you are worried about your children when they leave home for school or any other reason, then ZenTracker is the right application for you.
ZenTracker is an application that is compatible with major smartphones. It allows parents to keep a watch on their children’s location through their phone. By defining places on the map, you can also get alerts and notifications by text, e-mail or Twitter messages as your child leaves or enters that defined place.
There are two pricing plans for ZenTracker. The Lite plan is free and supports only up to two mobile devices with no e-mail, SMS or Twitter alerts. However, the Premium package supports up to six mobile devices, with every alert and up to five days of Location history.
Just sign up for an account on ZenTracker, and configure the settings, and add the people you want to keep a track of. Once done, just check your dashboard on ZenTracker and you will see the last location capture of the person you are tracking, i.e. your child, etc.
Features
- Not restricted by carriers or smartphones – compatible with most of them.
- Get instant alerts as “subject” leaves/enters defined places, for example, “Billy has left the school”.
- Both free and premium price package plans available.
- Available on iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Phone.

this is really cool… Well before downloading it, I would like to know if zentracker has its own map or it works on google maps or other maps?
How does ZenTracker, or any of the other similar products listed in this article, protect the information so that only the parents are allowed to track their kids? If GPS is enabled on the phone, how can access to this information be restricted? Without such restrictions, I have NO INTEREST in enabling GPS on my children’s phones!
Please, when you provide an article about “tracking”, don’t make it a How-To for stalkers!
You can turn Off Location changes from Restrictions menu in iPhone. Once enabled, your child will not be able to turn it on without the passcode, which means that he/she will not be able to turn off GPS.
