“Back away from my iPhone!”

Getting tired of all those jealous people playing with your iPhone without asking? Concerned that your iPhone may get damaged or stolen? Keep all intruders away with Motion Alarm!

Our motion-triggered deterrence technology will help keep your precious device safe. As soon as the preset level of movement is reached, your customized alarm will sound, alerting you and causing the unauthorized iPhone toucher to back off. (Self-destruct, implode feature coming soon)

Current features:

- Adjust the sensitivity level to distinguish between unauthorized use and accidental movement of the device.

- Choose an alarm sound. Currently includes a range of alarms, explosions and dog barking effects.

- Control alarm activation with a delay control.

- Designed to block iPhone sleep mode for continuous usage.

- Screen darkening so that potential iPhone "toucher" thinks the phone is off. NOTE: Tap in the top left corner to end darkened screen.

- GPS Tracking: Send the iPhones GPS co-ordinates with integrated Google Maps via email. (NOTE: Some users have reported that Hotmail may block GPS Report emails due to over protective spam filters. If this occurs, please try any other email address.)

- Stealth mode option to turn off alarm so thief will not realize they are being tracked via GPS.

APPLE RESTRICTION NOTE:
- Although we would love to be able to disable the home button, this is not something that is possible due to Apple restrictions. Please use screen blackening and stealth mode so that user will not be aware that GPS tracking is enabled and they will not think to press home button.

Pros and cons of Motion Alarm app for iPhone and iPad

Motion Alarm app good for

Great app. But maybe having a passcode to shut of off? Yes....no....?

There is a motion sensitivity setting. Maybe read the app description and check out all the features before posting negative comments.

I only tested for a few minutes but I can immediately see why my good friend told me to buy this app!

GPS TRACKER IS A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO AN ALREADY WELL MADE APP

This ap works well. A couple suggestions: 1. Have a feature that requires you to enter a passcode after touching the left corner that will then disarm the alarm. If the intruder frantically starts touching the screen he could accidentaly turn off the alarm and then all is lost. If that was added I would give it 5 out of 5.

Great app cant wait for updated version, and how do you turn on gps thing??? I need it

Some bad moments

Nice idea making this program, but does not do what you claim in description. - Im unable to change the sensitivity - when turned on it over rides the auto key lock I have set and keeps the screen on. - if app turned on then I hit key lock, the app turns off. If these bugs are worked out I would most likely keep the app on my phone. Thanks

The alarm sounds are simply too quiet for it to actually work in a noisy environment. Far too buggy. Frankly, just not very well thought out.

Doesnt work when phone is sleeping. If screen is off, app doesnt work. And too quiet. If people want their phone protected. Use a password lock. So easy. Retards.

App is good in theory, but it doesnt work when asleep, and drained my battery like nobodys business. Wouldnt even last a half a day! Dont bother

Would like to get email notice when movement detected. Also select delay when to send another motion detection. Program running ok.

1. Program crashes on volume adjustment. 2. I failed to understand how it works (and does it work at all?) - it either alerts momentarily when turned on or keeps silent at all. Doesnt send emails either. 3. Somehow it costed me 5$ instead of 1.99$ as is stated in AppStore.
