Ignore No More

Mountaineer Technology

Some apps ask for attention. Ignore No More demands it. Created for Mountaineer Technology, the parental control app lets parent devices track and lock a child device until the child calls back. WWC handled the app development, engineering remote locking without Mobile Device Management while staying inside Apple and Google developer agreements. The app never interferes with first responder calls and is virtually impossible for kids to remove; the phone locks if anyone attempts to uninstall or kill the app, and parents get an email alert on tampering. Built on React and Firebase, Ignore No More went viral, climbing to #2 on Google Play's Top New Paid Apps and #8 among Top Paid Apps, drawing coverage from Good Morning America and Steve Harvey to NBC News, Forbes, and BBC World News, and passing 1 million downloads across app stores, Samsung's included, before it was ultimately acquired.

Develop a secure cross-platform solution that does not require Mobile Device Management (MDM) and does not violate Apple App Store or Google Plays developer agreement.

WWC achieved the goal of allowing the parent to lock a Child's device remotely without needing Mobile Device Management. The app was released on Google Pay, Amazon, and Samsung Marketplace. The initial iOS version with the core functionality was approved in the app review but later removed after the app garnered much media attention. In version 2.0, the iOS app focused on geolocation and Apple Watch functionality.

Ignore No More received a ton of attention from the media. It was featured on NBC News, Good Morning America, Forbes, BBC World News, the Steve Harvey show, and more. The app reached #2 on Google Play's Top New Paid Apps and #8 on Google Play's Top Paid Apps. Eventually, Google Play also removed the app, and both Apple and Google changed their terms of service. Ignore No More was acquired, and Mountaineer Technology pivoted to the B2B sector.
