Description
Notifications appear and a sound is played whether your iPhone is locked, muted or Do Not Disturb is on
Uses the most energy efficient algorithms to optimize battery life
Over the last few years, there have been several tragic incidents related to infants, young children and pets inadvertently left in the back seats of cars in adverse temperatures. ChecktheBack! is an app developed by MobileDev99 to help prevent such occurrences. After driving, ChecktheBack! sends a notification to your iPhone and/or Apple Watch to remind you to check the rear seat of your vehicle. The notification is accompanied by a photo that you upload to the app as an additional means of jogging your memory about your precious cargo. Two minutes after sending the initial notification, ChecktheBack! sends another one, just in case you happen to be juggling multiple things at once. Adding widgets to your home screens, Today View, and lock screen will further help to remind you to check the back!
Language support added for:

• Uses the most energy efficient algorithms to optimize battery life.
• ChecktheBack! widgets are available for home screens, Today View and lock screen. Helps to jog your memory to check the back! Add them to all your home screens, Today View and lock screen to always remind you to be vigilant.

Disclamer: ChecktheBack! is NOT a substitute for remaining aware of your children or pets in the backseat and it DOES NOT in any way guarantee outcomes. It is a tool to help you in your efforts to avoid leaving your children or pets in the backseat of a vehicle for an extended period of time. ChecktheBack! SHOULD NOT be solely relied upon to remember to check the backseat before leaving your vehicle.

Ratings and Reviews
Better than nothing
It works reasonably well but there are a few quirks:
1. The photo doesn’t appear during setup, only after you restart the app (minor but initially confusing)
2. It is a bit inconsistent (it doesn’t always trigger after a car trip)
3. It is annoying that there is no way to prevent either of the two alerts (IMO when we open the app there should be a button to say « ok I checked », so that we can preventively disable the alerts after stopping the car, or disable the 2nd alert after the first one)
I hope it will get improved in the future!
