Life360

I have this tracking app on my granddaughters phones. The app cost $0. My oldest granddaughter is visiting a friend in California. I get a text from the app...
Life360 detected sudden motion on Lucy's phone. This could be the result of a collision, hard braking, or a dropped phone. We suggest that you call Lucy to check on them.
So we tracked her phone and sent her pictures of exactly where it was. Incidentally, it was on the side of Pacific Coast Hwy. She left it on top of the car. Still works like a charm. Scared the crap out of her grandfather and I. Also got a follow-up text from Life360 that they had reached Lucy. Great app. End of story.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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
