Snatch Alert app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Francois Kotze
First release : 10 May 2017
App size: 20.35 Mb
The feeling you have after finishing a cup of coffee in a restaurant and you realize your phone has been stolen, is enough reason to get this easy to use application. It gives you an early warning when your phone is moving. You determine the sensitivity of the movement. When the phone is moved, an alarm is sounded and if the app is in the foreground, the flash goes crazy. It brings immediate attention to the culprit trying to steal your phone.
On the startup screen, you can set the motion detection sensitivity. Motion is detected in three directions, pitch, roll and yaw. Motion detection work independently of each other.
After setting the various sensitivity sliders and the time to "arm" the device for, you press the Ready button. The phone will wait for movement to settle down which take more or less ten seconds. The device is then armed.
If motion is detected, a sound clip id played. Remember to set your volume to maximum. Additional to the sound, if your the app is in the foreground, the flash will also go crazy.
Prevention is always better than cure, we hope that an early warning will help to prevent the device theft. There are so many uses for this app, example, put it in your laptop bag and if the bag is moved, the alarm will sound. Do a setup against a door, the moment a door is opened, the phone will detect movement and an alarm will sound.
We continue to enhance this app, users of the app will get a notification of the next release with even more features added.
Thanks for the support, we hope you enjoy this app and that we can prevent another stolen mobile unit.
