Real-Time Location Sharing

Family Locator alerts you when your family members have checked in at a location and thanks to GPS sensors in your phone, family locator can also advise if someone is running late.
Finding Family
The Life360 app uses state-of-the-art GPS location technology to report the real-time whereabouts of family members that have accepted your invitation to join your circle and share their location. Simply install the Life360 Family Locator app on your phone, and invite your family. Once registered, each member appears as a unique icon on the navigational map so you’ll know exactly where they are. No need to send annoying “Where are your?” or “What’s your ETA?” texts, the Life360 Family Locator puts this information at your fingertips. And to make life super easy, we send you alerts the moment your family arrives at an appointed location!
In order for our app to work properly, we need a few permissions. Don't worry - when you create an account, we help you through this quick and easy process.
Location - Life360 locates you and your family members on a shared, private map. This setting allows us to show location accurately and quickly.
Phone permission - Life360 has a feature called Driver Care Support that, with a single push of a button, connects you to a live representative over the phone. Our live representative knows who you are and where you are to assist in roadside situations such as tows, jumps, and lockouts. We also offer an immediate emergency response in the case of a vehicular collision. Phone permissions allow us to connect your phone to the live representative and authenticate that you are the one calling them.
Network - This connects you to the Internet and allows us to send and receive location information to and from family members on your private map.

To be honest, I've just started using this, and it seems like a good app. The biggest problem I have with it is that the app requires the battery saver to be turned off on all phones in order to accurately track positions of myself and other family members. That is a HORRIBLE design feature and needs to be changed. I have an old phone and the battery isn't as good anymore. Other apps have no problem allowing my phone to keep battery saver on. Please please change this, & I'll update my review.

On one hand it's a pretty nice app that tracks location pretty accurately which is what we wanted. It has options to track driving, activity levels, phone usage as well that I'm not interested in but oh boy is the app interested. It constantly badgers you to allow it to track every action you take and won't take no for answer. It's making me consider taking my business elsewhere honestly.

Warning about Subscribing!!!!!!!! This App took two payments out of my account, for the Gold Subscription. I recently signed up for the free trial period to give it a go, but as soon as money went into my account it charged me X2 lots of $14.99, it's just tried to take another lot out! When I requested help or to refund one payment they said: "Refunds: Life360 does not provide refunds for unused time or duplicate charges. Please review your subscription status.
