I have had the app for 3 months and use it for my phone and my son's. Until yesterday it worked great. Yesterday it gave me a notice that my son had arrived at the gym for gymnastic practice. An hour later I notice it said my son left the gym 10 minutes after arriving. It showed him at a strange house 3 miles away. I texted the gym owner and asked if my son was there. She said yes. I decided that someone must of accidently taken his gym backpack with his phone. I call but get no answer. I am afraid my car keys were also in the bad so I go to the gym to bring him my extra set of keys. He is totally confused. He has his phone in the gym locker with my keys. I show him on my phone where it says his phone is and guess what? It says I am at the same strange house three miles away. I can see where this might cause problems.

Great tool
October 23, 2020

The only people who don't like this app are the ones who don't want to be tracked. I use this for my small business to keep track of my service techs. This app helped me catch one employee stealing time from me. It probably saved me tens of thousands in payroll for this guy. Awesome app. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Love it
October 19, 2017

The only problem I have with life 360 is sometimes it's slow letting you know where your kids are. When they are on the road it takes forever to see them moving or it waits 2 to 3 min to let you know they are at their destination.

Brilliant tracker!
April 9, 2016

I have tried a few apps for phone tracking... they were all inaccurate and didn't even show locations that were up to date. This tracker is brilliant, easy to use with added features the others didn't have... not to mention 100% accuate and always up to date... just love it! It's also a bit of fun with messaging etc. xx

Everything worked great when my family and I started using it; I haven't purchased the upgrade yet since I wasn't sure how much we would use it-- and it has been about two month. Now, the only update I see with any consistency is the battery left on my son's phone. In the last week he has made about 9 trips with his GPS on but the app reports that he hasn't left home. Not sure what is going on here.

Awful
March 31, 2020

Terrible app. As a parent I want my children to go out and have fun and be free. I dont think any parent should ever even think that they need to use this app because of how disgusting the idea of restricting your teens most important years this much. Truly a terrible app.

Very useful suite of services to protect your kids and family. The most useful application is the one where your kids just have to push a button to check in and then you know their GPS location. Great value and I highly recommend this site.

Says I'm places I'm not
December 18, 2019

My boyfriend texted me while I was at work asking why I left and went to a house nearby one of my guy friends when I never left work to begin with. This app is incredibly accurate one minute and then all over the place.

This was a wonderful app until last night it showed I left the house and went about 10 mi away was gone and I are came back and then went back to the location when I never actually left the house. I'm so glad that it was not my daughter doing this because she would have been in trouble instead it was me so I'm not sure about this app anymore!

Life360 is designed for families to be able to know where each other are at all times. While this seems ideal, it is not. It tears down the idea of people trusting one another, in favor of technology. The software itself is not that much to brag on: the map locations are typically inaccurate and, on the driver portion, the statistics are consistently incorrect. There are also many loopholes and ways around the system. Returning to the moral issues, however, families shouldn't have to use technology for these purposes. Life360 is one primary reason why the concept of trust is less and less prevalent as time goes on.

I've had this app for my kids and husband for a few years. It was working well in the beginning, but now its showing my husband in another state and then all of a sudden back at work then in another state again. He doesn't travel for work at all. The other day it had him travel through a wooded area where there are no roads and a small pond. What's going on? He was at work the whole time with his phone on the office. My daughter takes her phone to school and leaves it on silent. It shows her still at home. We made sure we updated life 360 and rebooted our phones, etc... I guess we'll look for something more reliable.

Great piece of mind
June 19, 2020

Myself, my husband and my parents all downloaded the app. We wanted an app that could help us see if the others made it safely to work and home. My parents live with my husband and I. My mom and I both drive company vehicle and drive all day for work. So it's nice to be able to check in on eachother to make sure we're safe. I recommend this app to everyone! Don't get it just to make sure you're s/o isn't cheating or to catch someone doing something wrong. No that's pathetic. Get it if you want to use it for it's intended purpose! SAFETY! And I feel way safer knowing that my husband and parents know exactly where I am at all times!

Have used the paid version of this app for 2 years and it works fairly well. Still, I've decided to terminate my subscription and uninstall the app due to the LIFE 360 TOS having to do with sharing of private information with non affiliated third parties for the purpose of email advertising and cell phone pop up ads based on locations you have visited or other driving data collected.

It is unconscionable that I should have to pay for a service and be subjected to a breech of my family's privacy due to corporate greed. Buyer beware.

Has me walking and driving places I'm not stationary in one spot and has me all over the place. Wife thinks I'm having an affair because I'm all over the place. In this photo I never left one spot but it had me walking around all night and I was asleep and didn't move from one place.

Me and my boyfriend have a circle of us just two and while i was in class the app told me that he had let the school and shown up at this street by a bad area. I started texting him asking where he was and he told me he was in class. He even took a picture of him doing his work! Life360 will tear relastionships apart with trustworthy complications. I do not recommend the app if you are downloading it to track your family or boyfriend.

This app has some major glitches. Like wrong/inaccurate locations. The difference between an approximate location and a bang on location would be a hotel next to a McDonalds. And your bf was at McDonalds but it locates him at the hotel next to the McDonalds. Way too close for comfort. It causes major trust problems between couples because the app is wrong OR the deceiving party says the app is wrong and uses it to continue their lies. So, just not good all around. Last night I got into a huge fight with my bf because he was at dinner with colleagues and it showed him at an apartment building across the street for 2 hours! Then close to end of the 2 hours it changed the location to a gas station! I don't get it! Careful... it will cause major problems.

Since the new update this week... the person in my circle location is always frozen... no update or will show him in a different location then where he is... the history read out and map from before was so much easier to read... less location freezing... plz change it back to how it used to be... very unreliable now.

This app is utterly inconsistent. Frankly i am upset that I wasted five minutes of my life downloading this app. It will proceed to tell me that someone sitting across from me is currently in a tree. The amount of times that this app has backfired is very sad this company should be very ashamed because i would be better off strapping ankle bracelets to everyone i would like to keep track of. I can't even imagine how many families this app has broken up. Are you people happy? You are single handily ruining innocent lives. This is more than just a stupid app, families are at stake. Whoever created this app deserves to go to jail immediately. Thank you.
