"This is a critical building block in our preparation for the launch of our PocketFinder and PetFinder devices. With our many other popular Smartphone applications, users now have the ability to stay connected and benefit from every PocketFinder feature including real-time location, zone and speed alerts, instant messaging, and travel history, for one low service fee," Morse explained.
