GPS Punch! - Track Your Pesky, Lazy Employees With This Free App
by Joe White
December 6, 2011
GPS Punch! is a new iPhone app that allows employers to track their business-trip-attending employees via GPS.
As outlined in the application's release notes, features of GPS Punch! include:
In broader terms, the app allows employers to manage their workers' attendance "efficiently," ensuring that employees will "stop slaking off after a sales call" and taking various other unacceptable liberties. The release of the application comes following the news of MobileMonitor, a jailbreak tweak (and service) we told you about recently, which allows subscribers to remotely gain access to an iPhone's SMS messages, emails, photos, previous locations and much, much more. GPS Punch! is available for free in the App Store, in Japanese and English. Personally, it gives me the creeps - but if you decide to check it out for yourself, be sure to post your thoughts in the comments. [via Cult of Mac]
