Rebuilt for iOS 15 and night mode. Introducing Door Alert, an easy-to-use security solution for smartphones! Monitors for unauthorized exits or entries, alerting you immediately. Just start the app, place the phone against the door, and it’s ready! Visit DoorAlertApp.com for more ideas and uses. The app uses an audible alarm. Optional features include sending an alert silently through email or SMS gateway. An additional peace of mind for families with young kids. Works with or without a cellular account. Notes: • the app is intended to be an additional security measure, not a replacement to conventional home and travel solutions • silent alerts are sent as-is; while every attempt is made to ensure delivery, there may be situations outside our control which can prevent delivery • when running, battery usage is increased by less than 1% per hour

For .99 I thought I'd see how it works, and it's what I expected from reading the description. This app requires you to AFFIX your smart phone to the door you want to monitor. The alarm is triggered as soon as the phone is moved from the position it was in when the alarm was set. Also important to note the phone screen must be placed against the door. I suppose if you want the door monitored while you're home, and awake, and don't need your phone while it's armed (or have a spare device for this app), then it could work. I feel like a putz for spending money on this.

Thank you for reviewing. A clarification, you don't actually need to AFFIX the phone to the door, just place it against the door. The app was meant as a security aid for families with small children or people travelling alone, particularly at night when people are sleeping, especially because many new properties have accessibility guidelines which require any exits to be unlocked and opened with a simple turn of a handle. If you don't have small children and don't travel alone, then your negative review is understandable, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Currently we sell the app, as opposed to giving it away for free, because the product is not compatible with advertisements or with in-app purchases, and we weren't comfortable providing a security product missing any features. Apple will give refunds if you contact them, you can indicate you bought the app by accident. https : // www [dot] imore [dot] com / how-to-get-refund-itunes-app-store
