Trick-or-treating has gone digital.
No more going door-to-door without a plan. These days, you've got to maximize your treat-collection efficiency by plotting a route with a mobile app. For 99 cents, the Trick or Treating app, available at the iTunes app store, allows you to save your favorite candy collection hotspots, and plot your route for the night of Halloween.
Android users can keep tabs on their children's whereabouts with Trick or Tracker. At $4.99, this is one of the higher priced apps, but it allows parents to know exactly where their child is on a map during Halloween — and year-round. Both the child and parent must install the app for it to work. The price includes the "Latch Key" app, which tells you when your child has arrived at home and at school.
What's more, Trick or Tracker includes geofencing, which allows parents to draw a virtual fence and receive alerts when their child enters or leaves the perimeter. It's a feature also offered by Snap Secure ($57.99 for five phones, Android), which is a comprehensive security suite that has a personal panic button and allows you to see every place your child's been.
Planning a Halloween party? Halloween Planner (99 cents, Android) will ensure you don't freak out, with hundreds of tips on how to create that ghoulish vibe. All the songs anyone could want to set a haunting mood are just 99 cents with Halloween Party Pack (Android).
SpookyPic, which has a free and 99-cent version, and iMut8r put the monster in your mash of photos. SpookyPic overlays creepy shadows and broken glass on your photos, and iMut8r, which costs 99 cents, will turn your images into something out of a "Thriller" video. Both are available for Apple devices.
This Halloween, you can play an even "scarier" version of Angry Birds. Angry Birds Haunted Hogs is out. If the idea of slaying Frankenstein swine appeals to you, so will this game. But it might be more fun to battle against the inevitable zombie apocalypse with Plants vs. Zombies, which is available for Apple, Android and Kindle devices starting at $2.99.
Thanks to real estate website Zillow's Trick or Treat Index, we know that Boston is the second best city in the nation for the annual rite, just behind San Francisco. With that in mind, go forth and trick-or-treat. Just don't forget your smartphone.
