There's an app for that NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) – The church’s Imagine No Malaria campaign now offers a new mobile application that repels mosquitoes using sound instead of spray. When used, the app emits three different high-pitched frequencies that serve as a deterrent for mosquitoes. It's now available for download on the Android platform at a cost of $.99, and 70 percent of the proceeds benefit the fight against malaria in Africa. In addition, the app provides information about the disease, and a link to ImagineNoMalaria.org for those who wish to donate to the cause. The Imagine No Malaria app was developed by Pico Brothers in conjunction with Ad Hope. Did someone you know pass along this copy to you? Get your own copy [23]here.
