I have that weird feeling too. I'll try to put my finger on it in a non-sarcastic way.

1. This plays into the US's helicopter parenting culture of fear

2. Most kidnappings are by someone you already know. The "shopping at the mall" example is again, more fear mongering

3. The app is to store photos of your kid? Just use your camera gallery. I guarantee it's easier to use than the FBI's clunky app (inferred from their screenshot of a 10-year-old iOS version)

4. This is life, you can't solve everything with an app. Get your head out of your phone and open your eyes and look for your kid, they're probably one store down at the arcade
