“Great service experience”

Cherry B.
5/13/24

Technical team answers promptly, kind and professional, the monitoring features work great!Good and extra ordinary service. I highly recommend this software and with the special supports of a1techwise.com I was able to monitor my suspected cheating husband's phone activities from chats, calls, emails gallery and all my partners phone activities remotely without suspicious thanks

Completely unreliable. Doesn't update location, or shows me a "No network or phone off" message, when that's not the case.

This is for the free service - thank goodness I haven't signed up for any paid service. I wanted to try it out first. Thank goodness I did. In comparison, when my kids share their location with me via Find My, it is 100% accurate all of the time.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't.

I have free 360 for more than a year, in a circle of 4 family members. This is great app for family with kids. I was thinking about upgrading to premium and get to read some of the reviews. Most of them are lies, I understand this more personal for most of you. This summer my kid traveled to east Asia for multi country trip. I watched her on free 360 real time with pin point accuracy ( terminal to terminal in airports). Please be kind.

I like the functionality, I have tried to get the app NOT to drain my battery but to no avail. Last 7 day average is 24% drain. SUCKS! And their own data will show you that Life360 uses the least battery. LOL - - I really don't know if that is a true statement or not but my independent studies on my stuff are fabulous too! Either way this sucks!

I hate the fact that people in my "circle" can see where I am at constantly and I can't turn my location off because of the owner. This will not let me do anything and it is a very big invasion of privacy

This app can be very accurate but most of time time it's not. The problem is mainly the timing. Whatever location it shows, most probably the person was really there... at some point. So the problem is that even if you just spent there 2 minutes it will appear as you were there for 2 hours.It can cause massive arguments.
I would not recommend to use it for couples with trust issues.
Just trust. If someone wants to cheat... he/she will. It's not your problem :)

The accuracy of this app is horrible. It either tells me a family member cannot be located or places the person at the wrong place ( four hours at the bus stop?!?!). Pity... I was really hoping it would work.

App will notify me that a family member "just arrived" at a location, but when I look, they're still at home. Emailed tech support, only to be told that it was likely a phone problem. I told them it wasn't possible for 9 phones (9 family members) to have the same issue. After several obnoxious emails from them, I blocked their tech support. Highly advise this app NOT be used... not worth the money.

Ok, so I never take the time to review stuff, but this takes the freaking cake, and now that I have read other reviews on this app I understand I am not alone. I just spent an hour convincing my wife that I was not cheating on her because of the locations in this app being WAY OFF! And showing me to have been in places I wasn't. It actually showed two separate trips at two separate times during the day to unknown residential areas that I have never been too, all during a period of time that I never left my office building! Not sure how this happens when you never even leave the F N building?!?! I understand a lack of accuracy at times, but this was just plain showing walks and trips I have never taken, to areas I have never been to?!?! Try to explain this to your wife when you are out of town on a business trip! I'm serious... you people gotta fix this crap before you tear up a marriage! I added two pics below to show what was being seen. I never left the freaking building!

I use this on my iPhone all the time. My husband travels weekly (long flights + long drives) so I use it to see when he's on the road vs in a meeting vs at a hotel so I don't call at a bad time. When we're both home I don't really check it - it will let me know when he's on his way home from the office and that's enough for me. Overall just great for coordinating and being able to tell if people are safe without bugging them. Once my kids have cell phones I will definitely ask that they keep this running. I don't like the idea of not being able to get in touch with someone, or found myself, if there's an emergency.

I haven't had any experiences with really random locations being reported but I don't like look back at my husband's day. I don't have time for that.

I should have visited this site before I purchase this app, it's the worst ever app I have used to detect my family's movements,.
It freezes on one place for days, it is very slow, it tells you where you are hours after you actually leave. And guess what? No refund given.

So I've been using that app for awhile but I swear every time they update it, it just gets worse... I'm so disappointed in it and probably gonna delete it and find something better unless they're willing to fix these issues
- Has issues loading current location I have to constantly close the app completely and then go back to it and even sometimes then it doesn't load.
- My MAJOR issue is that they removed from when it said "last updated" so I have no idea where my child is or when the last time it was updated and that is so upsetting! I hope they fix this problem but until then I don't think I want to use this app anymore!
When I first got this app it was awesome... they need to quit trying to make changes to it cause it's just ruining it and stressing me out for the worries of where my child is at!

My husband and I have used the free version of this app for years and we have always enjoyed it. I have had a piece of mind knowing that he knows where I am and can get to me easily in the event of an emergency... especially when he is traveling. But last night (Wednesday) while I was in bed asleep, the app notified my husband and said that I had left the house at 11:14 pm and returned at 11:44 pm. I haven't left my house since I came in from work on Tuesday. I was sound asleep and didn't know that my husband was trying to reach me until I woke up this morning. He stayed awake and worried all night. I can't begin to tell you just how upset I am right now.

Don't use this app if you want to keep your relationship in tact and solid.

Parents, if you are considering Life360 to track your teenager - think again. All your child has to do is turn off the cell data for Life360 (only) at point A and then turn it back on again when they get to an 'approved' location, point B. Life360 gives no indication that cellular GPS tracking has been turned off and moreover depicts on the map that the child has moved only from Point A to Point B when in fact the child could have been anywhere. It gives parents a very false sense of security.
With 3 teenagers I've been using Life360 for several years - blissfully ignorant of its shortcomings. I just cancelled my subscription

This has my daughter leaving@ 4 am and coming back at 5:30 am... I just Want to see if it it ever inaccurate before I accuse her of leaving in the middle of the night, its such a random address and she doesn't drive so it doesn't seem plausible but I could be wrong I just don't want to punish her if she hasn't done anything. I haven't asked her about it yet. Does this happen to anyone else?

This app is great I don't know Why it's has bad ratings. Personally I think little kids are rating it badly because they are trying to not get tracked anymore by making the AppStore take it down once it's at 1 star.

It's not accurate. It has notified me that my daughter has left home when she is sitting in the same room as I am. It has done this 3 times in the past month. Today it said she left school and she is still at school. It seems to have gotten worse here lately So don't let this App ruin any relationship! It LIES!

This app has seriously done everything it can too seperate me and my girlfriend. My girlfriends mom has trust issues and decided too load this on everyone's phone. She's very unstable and psychotic. She tracks every single step my girlfriend takes! I haven't even mention my girlfriend is 20 years old! I'm 21 and I'm student in school pursuing history. My girlfriend is in school trying too be a nurse. This app is seriously bad. This app is for unstable parents who have trust issues and have some form of hate towards life. I can't even go places with my girlfriend without having her mom text her about her location. Do yourself a favor. Don't do this too your kid cause it's gonna cause them too love a rebellious lifestyle.

Good enough for tracking familiy members. Don't waste money paying for extra services like roadside and more. Horrible service. Dropped calls. Lack of communication and incompetent processes that don't assure good prompt service and communication. Just horrible. Reckless to say they provide these kind of security and safety features when they really can't follow up on the promise. Putting people in danger. Reckless and just horrible.

This app need to be taken down. They had successfully destroyed countless of relationship thru the years. The app marks you at some stupid location when the user is not even there. To make the situation worse, when you have a crazy gf. She tilted and demand an explanation why the user went there when it never happen.

Totally mental torture and unhealthy to download this app. Total madness is when you have to pay for the PREMIUM service

My husband has has 2 wrecks in the last 2 years. Life 360 was on both times and neither time detected the wreck. When he was rear ended while on a motorcycle and thrown through the air before landing on the pavement I would have thought that would have indicated a "crash".

I've had the life360 app for a few months &overall, it's given me &my circle more peace of mind. I don't feel like my privacy is being invaded like I thought I would &I've never had any issues with the app not functioning properly. The real test was last night, I had to call for roadside assistance after AAA told me (after 3hrs waiting for them to show up) they were sorry but they wouldn't be able to make it out to me at all. I was in disbelief and livid as it was now pretty late &I'm in an unfamiliar area. Anyway the light bulb clicked on &I remembered I have roadside assistance through the 360 app! Long story short, one phone call to the service technician &he then sent me one text that included a live link to my request of service showing me the drivers ETA &all other necessary information to keep me informed! I am so happy &I'm grateful for this app! Well worth the annual price &will continue to recommend to everyone I know!

My daughter was in an accident today, lucky no one was seriously hurt, and the Life 360 app, I pay for the premium service did not alert or call myself or my daughter as promised. It has been iffy for sometime but today it really showed I paid for nothing. Time to find a new app!

Tip for consumers:
Once you pay it works for about a month then all of a sudden it stops. When I first got the app I had to say the location accuracy was a 1 for about a week, it finally started working but lasted only about a month. Very disappointed because the entire purpose of this app was so it would notify me and call my daughter to see if she needed help. It doesn't work.

Using this application to track my wife every time she starts acting a bit suspicious, i'm not so sure but i have a feeling she might be having an affair. I had to get this fixed by looking for an expert in trail and spouse monitoring using mobile phone tracking. Itechspyware at gmail dot com.
Was very helpful in clearing my doubts about a cheating wife.

This app is the worst thing you could've created. With the understanding that the app was designed to ensure the safety and protection of loved ones in emergency situations, it also guarantees an undesirable round of questioning. Having to download this app as a senior in high school and continue to to be demanded to remain on the app as a 21 year old college student, one could see my frustration. Constantly being asked "where are you?", "why are you there?", "why were you at this location for x hours?!" can deteriorate a relationship due to the bombardment of interrogative questions and ever so growing environment of distrust. If my parent says they trust me then why ask a myriad questions concerning my where abouts? In conclusion, do not believe the rating I give this app because if there were an option to give it 0 stars, I would with no remorse.

I've had Life360 for years. My husband is an OTR truck driver and this app allows me to see where he is at any given moment. Not only that, I know he's safe... as long as he's moving, he's ok, and it tells me when he's safely at a truck stop for the night. As if that's not enough... I recently had occasion join him on some of his overnight stays hours away from where we live... even out of state... and would have had a hard time finding him except Life360 led me straight to him, no errors, no mistakes, no searching. I gladly pay the $7.99 a month fee for all it gives me. Roadside assistance, driver protect, emergency services. It's worth every penny. The negative reviews on this site are a joke!
