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.

As a tracking app, it works well, but there's too much bloat with it. Pop ups every single time you log in. Added to that, the "mail" feature which is filled with tips and offers on which there is no option to watch the number increase unless you open each message individually. I always had notifications off but you can't even do that now without a warning and can't choose which types of notifications you want to see. Bad design having these things forced on you.

For the most part, I love the app as it gives me peace of mind in knowing where my family is, especially when they are traveling. However, it's not always accurate. My family member can be in one place (verified) but the app will show otherwise (and no their phones were not left behind). There are delays (lagging) in the app, as well. I have the Gold membership, because of the added benefits due to the amount of traveling my family does. Really wish this app would improve its accuracy.

The app overall has been decent. The main problem that I have experienced over the last three weeks has been that the app says that there is no network connection for the parties in my circle. Updated, cleared cache, and uninstalled/installed app multiple times and still does it. The subscription fees are ridiculous if the doesn't work as advertised.
