PocketGuardian Announces Monitoring Support for Skout and MeetMe

SILVER SPRING, Md. - July 13, 2016 - PRLog -- PocketGuardian Announces Monitoring Support for Skout and MeetMe.

Skout and MeetMe are location-based social networking and dating applications.  Both apps permit account creation without age or identity verification, leaving the chance for inappropriate use a distinct possibility.

"We've made it our mission to do what the social media networks & app developers are unable or unwilling to do." says James Ryan, Co-Founder of PocketGuardian. "We know it's impossible for parents to keep up with the apps & social media kids are on these days. We handle this for them." PocketGuardian™ continually updates its list of monitored apps based on parent feedback and media reports. "Years from now, we want to look back and see the lives we've helped and the impact we've made in society monitoring one app at a time."

"We are extremely excited about adding these mobile apps to the growing list of apps that PocketGuardian™ monitors. We strive to create the best product to help parents keep kids safe in today's virtual social world", says PocketGuardian Co-Founder Jason France.

PocketGuardian™ uses proprietary software to detect inappropriate content including cyberbullying, sexting, and explicit images. Parents are alerted to inappropriate content on their child's mobile devices and social media accounts without divulging the actual content. Alerts contain timestamps, alert types, who sent the content, which app or social media site was sued, and parental resources. The list of mobile applications and social network sites PocketGuardian™ monitors to date include SMS, iMessage, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Kik, Viber, Line, Whisper, Oovoo, Calculator%, Calculator Pro, Jott, Tinder, Skout and MeetMe.
