That&#8217;s good.  I hate to sweat.  If it&#8217;s not good, that&#8217;s because it rains quite a bit.  Anyway, I&#8217;m ready to introduce a new iOS app that I have been working on.  It&#8217;s an iOS version of the desktop application that I released about 10 days ago.  It&#8217;s called <strong>Family Track Central<\/strong>.  Yeah, it&#8217;s the same name.<\/p>\n<p>Family Track Central is an iOS version of an existing desktop application that helps you keep track of geographic locations of your family members in real time through their iOS devices. These days, most high school students own smartphones. When your child doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come home before their curfew, wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you want to know where they are right now? Or wait for 72 hours so that the police can handle it as a missing person case and get a warrant by court from the cellular company? Wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it be nice if you get a local notification from your Mac when your family member approaches an area they are not supposed to go to? That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what Family Track Central is about. It will let you pinpoint geographic positions of your family members on the map so that you can quickly find out where they are. &nbsp; <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"464\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"ios\/software\/familytrackcentral\/iphone1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"ios\/software\/familytrackcentral\/thumbnail_iphone1.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"390\" alt=\"iOS Swift iPhone app Family Track Central\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"ios\/software\/familytrackcentral\/iphone2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"ios\/software\/familytrackcentral\/thumbnail_iphone2.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"390\" alt=\"iOS Swift iPhone app Family Track Central\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Features<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download a profile (UUID, display name, display picture) created by your family members from iCloud Drive.<\/li>\n<li>Import a family member profile sent by AirDrop.<\/li>\n<li>Keep track of geographic positions of your family members on the map.
