Gothenburg, May 20th, 2013 – Keypasco is launching Android and iOS application Vakten to offer multi-factor authentication and premium protection of users’ identity online. The applications will function as a part of Keypasco’s official Security as a Service (SaaS) solution as an Out-Of-Band (OOB) security and a secure way to bring a personal device (Bring Your Own Device, BYOD).
Both applications are now available to download in associated application stores such as Google Play and iTunes/App Store).
The Vakten application and the Out-of-Band functionality can be used to gain access through web login and to proceed with payment verifications connected with different Internet Content Providers.
The application can also note the unique identifiers of the device to create a device fingerprint to connect to the Keypasco SaaS solution.
Vakten can also use the BYOD functionality in combination with the device fingerprint provided by the application to utilize a proximity solution where web login authentication and payment verification is limited by physical distance to the mobile device.

Barcelona, Spain – March 26, 2013 – Qustodio, a leading parental control software start-up, today announced the release of the latest version of its free software, now compatible with Mac OSX Lion/Mountain Lion and Android devices. It is already available for Window 8 PCs.
The latest version of Qustodio is aimed at giving parents better tools to manage their children’s online activities on the many devices that they use to connect to the world, including Android mobile phones and tablets. Parents can view the web-browsing activity or applications being used on any device within the family and set usage limits for certain applications and/or web pages. Parents can manage the use of all Macs, Windows PCs and Android mobile devices from one unified web-based online dashboard, called the Family Portal.
This release also allows parents to have a deeper view into social networks including Facebook. Qustodio has always tracked children’s time spent on social media sites like Twitter, FourSquare and Pinterest. But today it launched a robust new tool called Advanced Facebook Monitoring that connects to a child’s Facebook account from any device, and reports on the key activities, information and photos where a child may be tagged.
Social Activity reported on Qustodio Family Portal
To showcase this new feature, Qustodio’s Family Portal features a new tab called Social Activity. Social Activity offers parents a detailed view of all social activity performed by the child. It allows parents to see the names of contacts that children communicate with online and the time and duration of the conversation. Qustodio also alerts parents the first time a child is contacted by a new friend. This allows parents to keep a closer eye on social media interactions and intervene if necessary.
Multi-Device Management for Premium Users
Those who purchase Qustodio’s premium version will get access to a new Multi-Device Scheduler that allows a parent to customize individual time usage limits for each mobile, desktop or laptop. Using these features parents can customize their child’s experience on each device.
“Management of the multiple connected devices and online activities in the family is a new and challenging problem that we aim to solve,” said Eduardo Cruz, CEO and co-founder of Qustodio. “We are committed to providing parents useful tools to guarantee safe and responsible use of devices by children.”
Qustodio Premium Users Get Expanded Social Protection and Monitoring
For Premium users, who pay $49.95 per year, Qustodio offers a deeper level of social monitoring called Advanced Facebook Monitoring. Once activated, Qustodio monitors all activity that takes place on a child’s Facebook account, regardless of the device being used to access Facebook. The Advanced Facebook Monitoring feature provides parents with information on new friends, events, shared photos and social interactions including:
- A child’s friends list on Facebook and friends’ profile pictures.
- List of new friends on Facebook and their ages
- A list of mutual friends
- Activity log of how a child interacts with friends in the past 30 days, including time spent chatting and sharing photos.
- Published information such as: interests, relationships, work, religion, etc.
- See the photos that a child shares online and the comments that other users make on those photos.

Palo Alto, CA – (July 21, 2011) SNG Networks, Inc. today announced the launch of ComplainApp, a mobile app and website that supports people to harness the power of the group to get results from big companies.
Available as an app for iPhone, iPad, and Android, and as a web site (SaaS solution), ComplainApp is a comprehensive consumer advocacy solution.
“We have a lot of complaints about the companies we encounter in our daily lives, but we don’t have a good way to let them know,” said Noam Gordon, founder. “Sometimes we complain to our friends and family members, but studies show that just makes us more angry. ComplainApp is about doing something about our complaints – it’s for people who want to make the world a better place.”
Benefits & Features:
Save time: compose a beautiful complaint in seconds, using our complaint wizard (it’s so hard to write a good one, you know?)
Accurate: have your complaint submitted for you instantly – to the right place
Powerful: harness the power of the group to get results
Get notifications when your complaints have been answered
Find people with similar complaints and join together to get results
Follow up on your complaints, have us resend them, and manage them
Under the Hood – How it Works:
Complaints initially submitted via Twitter. We have a directory of companies that sits on top of Twitter to ensure that complaints go to the correct place (e.g. @AvisWeTryHarder instead of the intuitive @Avis). Directory is updated daily and incorporates, but is not limited to, Google places.
Does not require Twitter ID, but when user has a Twitter account it is integrated with ComplainApp.
Post-submission, user is offered options to submit via additional sites, including Facebook and – coming soon – Google+, GetSatisfaction, LinkedIn and others.
Users are encouraged and helped to re-tweet each other’s complaints & are shown complaints similar to theirs. System is set up for users to contact each other to discuss similar complaints, RT, etc. with the aim of building groups of complainers
System sends push notifications when companies respond (or don’t), similar complaints are filed, etc.
We follow up on all complaints. Those that are not answered via Twitter are submitted to company via other means.
Success Stories:
@yossizohar brought his car into his local Pep Boys Auto. The car was returned without the problem being fixed. Attempts to resolve the issue with the shop were unsuccessful. Using ComplainApp, he contacted the company HQ. Within a few days he had a phone call from the local shop promising to re-do the repair at no charge.
@kengoetsch purchased a Mother’s Day gift certificate from Massage Envy in the Seattle area. The mother in question did not want a massage. Massage Envy refused a refund. After using ComplainApp and having his complaint re-tweeted by several ComplainApp users, Ken was contacted by the company. Massage Envy specifically made it clear that the visibility of Ken’s complaint was behind their decision to reconsider their policy. After working with ComplainApp and Massage Envy to re-post his complaint as ‘resolved’, Ken received a full refund for the gift certificate.
For more success stories, see http://www.complainapp.com/Home/Overview
ComplainApp is unique because of its focus on consumers, as opposed to other customer service oriented apps that serve (and earn money from) businesses. This user-centered focus places ComplainApp firmly within the disruptive category of Vendor Relationship Management (VRM), where users exert control over their relationships with businesses (vs CRM, which is about businesses managing you).
iBuildApp announced today a new Android app creator called Android Builder. The tool simplifies creating an iPhone and Android apps for smartphones.
I’m playing around with it right now, which is easy because it is free.
IBuildApp stressed the following in the press release:
- Now anyone can build an Android app using the web interface, without any knowledge of Java.
- The free solution allows anyone to create their own apps rather than hope developers create what they need. It also makes it easy to build and automatically publish an app to an app gallery.
- Some customers have become so good at creating iPhone apps they have started to make apps for others (becoming resellers).
This is pretty much all you need to know to get started. The thing that throws me a little is that I’m trying to develop an Android app and the site keeps referring to the Apple Store. We’ll see how it goes.

As smartphones based on the Android operating system become increasingly popular for children and teens, My Mobile Watchdog for Android offers the same powerful yet non-intrusive protection found in its original My Mobile Watchdog product.
My Mobile Watchdog’s online management tools monitor inappropriate contact with a child’s mobile phone. The technology monitors a child’s inbound and outbound activity, immediately notifying parents if a child receives an unwanted or suspicious call, email, picture message or text message. Activities are logged and archived to the My Mobile Watchdog account, allowing parents to view, assess and take action on questionable contacts. Parents have access to the application management tool, giving them the ability to approve or block various applications like Facebook, Web browser, Twitter, games and the camera.
“We’re making a commitment to our valued customers to deliver the very best mobile security products possible,” added Nicholas Montes, President. “With the introduction of My Mobile Watchdog for Android, we’re also continuing to meet the changing nature of the mobile device market.”
