Description

Notifications appear and a sound is played whether your iPhone is locked, muted or Do Not Disturb is on
Uses the most energy efficient algorithms to optimize battery life

Over the last few years, there have been several tragic incidents related to infants, young children and pets inadvertently left in the back seats of cars in adverse temperatures. ChecktheBack! is an app developed by MobileDev99 to help prevent such occurrences. After driving, ChecktheBack! sends a notification to your iPhone and/or Apple Watch to remind you to check the rear seat of your vehicle. The notification is accompanied by a photo that you upload to the app as an additional means of jogging your memory about your precious cargo. Two minutes after sending the initial notification, ChecktheBack! sends another one, just in case you happen to be juggling multiple things at once. Adding widgets to your home screens, Today View, and lock screen will further help to remind you to check the back!

Language support added for:

Features:


• Approved by Apple to send Critical Alerts. Notifications appear and a sound is played whether your iPhone is locked, muted or Do Not Disturb is on.

• Sends a notification to iPhone and/or Apple Watch to check the backseat shortly after a driving trip.

• Allows for adding a photo that appears in your notifications to further help jog your memory. The photo can be updated at any time.

• Set it and forget it - no need to interact with the app after initial setup.

• Vehicle independence - No fumbling with settings, bluetooth connections, nor linking your phone to vehicles. ChecktheBack! works on your phone regardless of the vehicle you are traveling in.

• Uses the most energy efficient algorithms to optimize battery life.


• ChecktheBack! widgets are available for home screens, Today View and lock screen. Helps to jog your memory to check the back! Add them to all your home screens, Today View and lock screen to always remind you to be vigilant.


• Dismiss current notifications with a long press of a notification. Works on iPhone and Apple Watch notifications.


• Acknowledge notifications and dismiss them when a notification is displayed while the app is open.


• Reset notifications from within the app by tapping the X in the toolbar.

Disclamer: ChecktheBack! is NOT a substitute for remaining aware of your children or pets in the backseat and it DOES NOT in any way guarantee outcomes. It is a tool to help you in your efforts to avoid leaving your children or pets in the backseat of a vehicle for an extended period of time. ChecktheBack! SHOULD NOT be solely relied upon to remember to check the backseat before leaving your vehicle.

Wonderful idea for an app!

This app works great and addresses the ongoing issue of children being left unattended. Very beneficial for babysitters or anyone in child care.

Privacy concerns

The app didn’t recognize I was driving unless I gave it full access to my precise location (which is then going to be at all times unless you remember to open and close the app every time you drive). I don’t see any reason why it has to be precise location (vs. approximate, which is also an option).

Developer Response ,

I understand your concern. However, as stated in the app description on the App Store, the app DOES NOT collect any data. Location is the only approved mechanism allowed by Apple to trigger app launch locally on the device to get motion data, which is used solely to determine driving state.

Zero notifications

I have yet to receive a single notification for the app. I have my location turned on all the time, and all the notifications settings on. It does not work at at all.

Edit 10/15: I just checked, and the slider for motion and fitness it turned on. I have ever setting turned on. It still does not work.

Developer Response ,

I am sorry that you are having trouble with the app. It sounds like Motion & Fitness is not set to ON for ChecktheBack!. Please toggle Motion & Fitness to ON for the app. It requires all of its settings in order to function properly.

Edit: 10/16

Again, I am sorry you are having trouble with the app.
This is the first time this has happened - what version of iOS are you running? Have you tried to delete and reinstall it? Please give this a try and re-establish the settings at initial start of the app. Please let me know if this corrects the problem.
