If you spent the whole weekend staying at home or at office, you can disable anti-lost function by App’s No Disturb Mode.
Scenario 2: Uh, where did it go?
If you misplaced your wallet, you can use the App to make your wallet ring. With a loud buzzer sound at a volume of over 85dB, you will have no trouble hearing it, even as far as 10 meters away. To allow for a more accurate hunt, the App will also show you the distance between your phone and your wallet.
Scenario 3: When and where did you use your wallet?
When you use your wallet, SmartWallit Pro App will record this action using its proximity and light sensor to push a signal to your phone. With that information, your phone will be able to record when and where you last used your wallet.
This function introduces a brand new way to manage your finances. For example, if you make a payment, the SmartWallit Pro will ask if you would like to input payment details. Compared with other financial applications, our App gives you a frequent reminder to input those payment details. This allows you to build an accurate and complete record of the frequency and amount you spend. When reviewing your monthly spendings, the App will then be able to show you what you have bought over the last week/month/year.
