Life360: Find Family & Friends for Negative User Reviews
✓ Life360 sells your data!My whole family have benefitted from using Life360 and it’s been pretty good. But to find out that you’ve been selling my data to 3rd parties makes me sick. Deleting app and that of my family tonight and going to apple product who seem to understand the importance of data privacy..Version: 21.11.0
✓ Terrible appIf you want your kids to hate you and leave you in a old people home when they’re older use this you weirdos..Version: 21.10.2
✓ Invasion of privacyBefore you all go writing me off as another teen trying to escape from my parents, no. I'm not. I'm 19 and I'm about to be in college. I understand the reasoning for this application, as it is very useful. HOWEVER, it is only useful when put in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. For example, I have had Life360 for a few years now. Before I had the app, I would go about my day enjoying myself and the world around me. This has changed. My family forced me into downloading this app onto my iPhone through convincing me that it would be beneficial to everyone. I was sorely mistaken for believing them. Ever since I downloaded the app, my stress and anxiety levels have increased beyond belief because I have members of my family who will constantly be on the app, I have screenshots of when my location was pinged 90+ times in one day. This is a sign of a toxic household. I now live in fear of "going beyond the boundaries" and I also now always feel the need to let everybody know every single detail, even when they don't need to know. I know this sounds like a small issue, but as a young adult who is about to transition into the grown-up and adult world, this is unhealthy and therefore this application is not beneficial to my mental health or safety or helpful in any way. This app alone has harboured countless arguments in my family and I am seriously sick and tired of invasive apps like these coupled with families like mine ruining kids' childhoods..Version: 21.6.0
✓ NOT HAPPYMe and my girlfriend recently downloaded Life360 as a fun way to see where we are at different times for the heck of it! We were then thoroughly disappointed in the amount of technical and software issues that came with this app. For example: when trying to track my friend I wasn’t able to see her location as it said “Battery Saver enabled”. But battery saver wasn’t even on! We tried every fixture under THE SUN but that still wasn’t enough to fix this idiotic thing you dare to even call an application. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING. DO NOT BOTHER WITH IT A HUGE WASTE OF TIME.Version: 22.9.0
✓ Ruins relationshipsThis app is perfect if you your children to lose all trust in you as a parent. It’s an invasion of privacy and should not be used to monitor everyone at all times..Version: 20.6.2
✓ Worst decisionAbsolutely ruined my relationship with my kids they hate me now and call me toxic and I know it is. I do not recommend this if you want to have a good relationship with your kids😢.Version: 21.4.0
✓ The worst app I’ve ever usedThis has caused me so much worry and has caused me to have a nervous breakdown. I use the app to check that my son has got to school safely. He is 14, autistic and vulnerable. I feel relieved when I know he has walked through the school gates. This morning it showed him as being half way from school for over an hour. I was frantic. I contacted school who told me that he was at school, I told them that this app was still showing him as being on his way to school. I felt so sick with worry this morning so I walked the journey to school and had a huge look around the area where it said his phone was and it was nowhere to be found. Also many times it has said he could not be located which is disgusting. Don’t waste your time.Version: 21.9.0
✓ PoopySucks hate being tracked..Version: 20.6.1
✓ Bit rubbishThe driver tracking is all over the place. It doesn’t track your exact route just waypoints then draws straight lines between the points which is rubbish, so the total mileage is way off what you’ve actually done. And obviously can’t accurately view your route. I’ve reset my vans trip meter at the beginning of the week my van says 164 miles the app seems to say I’ve done 243miles so it’s majorly inaccurate. (No I’ve not driven another vehicle or been driven anywhere taken public transport etc) So pretty useless for my use. Probably ok if all you want is an idea of where you’ve been but I want it for driver analytics to see where routes can be improved. But nope. So just a warning to others that’s this is hugely inaccurate but does give you a vague idea of your route even if you never drove through houses or buildings. As it shows I have. 🤦🏻♂️.Version: 20.7.2
✓ Invade of privacyIt sucks it’s absolute dogwater plus it an invade of privacy.Version: 21.3.2
✓ DisappointingThis app used to be a leading app in personal tracking. Having used the paid version for over 2 years i saw benefits. But the support is just not there . The app allows you to reduce boundaries down to only 76 meters while other apps let you reduce boundaries down to 5 meters . This is a major fail with Life360. I have asked them several times to address this issue and each time i just get a message saying they will look into it and nothing ever happens . I have spoken to tech support on my other tracking apps who tell me that it’s an easy fix but Life360 just refuse to do it . It should not be called “life” 360 when you cannot rely on it in an emergency situation. 76 meters is a large area . I now only use the app for myself and i use a better app for work purposes where accurate location is essential for knowing where some particular students are..Version: 22.7.1
✓ Selling location dataNot a fan of you packaging and selling children’s location days..Version: 21.11.0
✓ UpdateSince the last update it says people in my circle can not be found whilst their location sharing is turned on? Any tips would be helpful I have closed the app and reopened it, turned phone off and back on to reboot and still saying person can not be located I use to love this app but the last year I’ve had it has been nothing short of disappointment after the next, then when nothing gets resolved and I enquire about a refund as the app has not done what I paid good money for it to do, I’m told it’s not up to life360 themselves to refund even though it’s their app I paid for.Version: 22.1.20
✓ My bf literally flipped his car and crash/drive detection didn’t say anythingLuckily he was able to get out unhurt miraculously, and call me for help. However If he had sustained severe injuries during this accident, he most likely would’ve died. Because I wouldn't of had a clue he got into an accident if he didn’t call me that day. He would’ve been stuck in that car upside down for hours maybe even a night. It was a gravel road a fair ways away from our home. In my eyes, if things had gone any differently he probably wouldn’t be alive today. Which scares me I’m just a bit confused why it’s called crash detection if it can’t even detect a car flipping upside down but okay And if I seriously have to pay for that feature that just feels wrong. Especially when it’s a feature you’re supposed to be able to use without a subscription..Version: 21.12.21
✓ My relationship with my kids has only sufferedAs a concerned Dad, I initially forced my son to get this app on his phone, I believed it was the right thing to do considering his track record and thought this would help fix him. However I think that was my biggest problem, using this app I tried to fix him as such it became to overbearing for him and he started to resent me. He felt as though I was trying to control him when In reality I only wanted the best for him. The app functions well for its intended purpose, but also crosses boundaries that lead our kids to hate us. Because our kids don’t understand this is what’s best for them the relationship suffers, For me life 360 hasn’t worked.Version: 22.4.2
✓ Chews The Battery Up!I am only giving it 3 stars because it is not very battery friendly. It drains the battery in half a day I work so my phone is on standby the whole day but it dies because of this app. Please find a way to fix it. Otherwise it is one of my favourites 😍.Version: 22.15.0
✓ What’s changed?I’ve had Life360 for my family and early teenagers for a couple of years and it’s been brilliant for peace of mind and knowing when they leave home, arrive at school etc. However, it seems since this latest update introducing the bubbles, suddenly our family notifications don’t work properly. I get notifications all night and day telling me the kids have left home and arrived home when they are sitting right next to me. I’ve tried increasing the tolerance on ‘places’ and makes no difference. I’ve messaged support and never received a reply but my ticket has been closed. Disappointed. My kids will be driving in the next year or so but at the moment I would be reluctant to pay for the extended driving version of this app until it’s working properly again. [email protected] can you help!!?.Version: 20.7.2
✓ Great - when it worksAs others have said, really useful app in view of need to track child now travelling to school independently. When it works. A handful of times it has simply refused to locate at particularly critical times, and then suddenly as if by magic it works again. However for the last few days it will not locate at all - I managed to get it to update from location 2 days ago when both phones were in the house next to each other but no further updates are happening. I am hoping the issue is with the iOS upgrade I have just done, as mentioned by another review, and that it is resolved asap, otherwise this app becomes useless to me..Version: 22.9.0
✓ BadBad.Version: 20.8.0
✓ Sometimes works sometimes doesn’t?No point using an app that is not consistent?.Version: 22.5.1
✓ App is good but leaves old iOS behindLove this app, our whole family have used it over the last few years and we love it. Unfortunately it now leaves old iOS behind, and not being able to afford the latest iPhones for our kids, we now find that we need to use another app to do the same thing..Version: 21.10.2
✓ HorrendousIf you want to have a terrible relationship with your children and give them trust issues for the rest of their life, I’d highly recommend you start with this garbage app. :).Version: 20.7.2
✓ Can’t use without a phone #I wish you would allow kids to use this without a phone number. My kids have iPhones with a 1GB plan, but have no need for an actual phone number with FaceTime and iMessage. This is becoming the norm for young children..Version: 22.7.2
✓ False notifications sent repeatedlyI have been using this app for a while to track my daughter as she walks to and from school so it’s important to know where she is. The app is quite good. I have given it 3 stars because it is constantly sending false notifications even when my daughter is in the house, it’ll say she’s out or away from home or in one of the locations added to my places. This happens when location is always turned on or while using the app, makes no difference as I have tested both. Can this please be looked into?.Version: 22.15.0
✓ This app worked until Sept 2021……This app has worked amazingly well up until recently. Faultless. Eliminated all worry about whether or my son got to School/ Youth Club safely, with the problems we are encountering with young men/gang violence. I gather there was some sort of network problem in Sept-i wasn’t even aware of it. I only discovered this, when I checked the app when I realised, no notifications were coming through. Tried logging out, logging back in, updating, standing on my head, all to know avail. It took three email attempts to support before I managed to get a response (they claimed I had changed my device which I had, MONTHS ago which had not caused an issue. I dully followed the instructions but still playing up. The app will send me a notification HOURS later informing me my son has left home, when in reality he has left home, and arrived at School and the School day is practically over! I cannot see this being rectified, so unfortunately now looking for an alternative app that works..Version: 21.9.0
✓ LIFE 360My family downloaded this app for me because I have started high school this year and a few of my friends have recommended it... I was happy that I got notifications when mum and dad were coming home, home, at work or wherever their location was. We used it heaps until it disappointed us by glitching and saying I was somewhere else when I was at home or not even opening the app... my friend has it and she has no issues. Can someone please help?? But aside from all of this it is a good app and is helpful to know where mum and dad are when you need them.Version: 21.1.1
✓ Over protectiveThis is a great way to make your kids more sneaky, don’t get it. A complete and utter invasion to your kids privacy, stricter parenting leads to sneaky teens.Version: 20.7.4
✓ Positive feedback, please iron out aforementioned below :)For an app founded in 2008, you would expect it would have ironed out the flaws, it is pretty good and offers decent use for a free account, I’m mostly disappointed with the driving history, it doesn’t recognise being on a train, giving a false reading of your actual driving; I think if snapchat can do this, so could your developer. One other thing that could use some improvement, is travelling passed “home” it alerts that I’m home, instead I often on my way home go passed on the way to the shops, surely if still driving, the app can work it out not to alert within a zone, unless you’ve stopped the car? I’ll finish on a positive, this has great potential and for now is still really good at tracking you and others, and would recommend for tracking alone, that works great..Version: 21.4.0
✓ HorribleParents use this app to take control of us kids and it’s terrible.Version: 22.15.0
✓ Helicopter ParentingThis is helicopter parenting at its worst (if you don’t know what helicopter parenting is look it up). If you don’t trust your kids going out and have to track where they’re going, why are you letting them go out in the first place. 1. Owning a phone and 2. Knowing how to use it is safe enough in it itself. Do you need to go out of your way and take away your kids right to privacy and not teach them in away how to trust your loved ones? You put trackers on animals, not your kids. If you’ve done a good job of parenting you won’t need this. If you’ve stuffed and resort to this you’ve failed..Version: 20.7.2
✓ Not very accurate or reliableDon’t waste your money.. this app is very inconsistent and often completely wrong! Examples are: tells me Joe blogs has left home and yet Joe Blogs is sitting right next to me ; tells me Jo Bloggs is still in another town yet Joe Bloggs is home ; tells me Joe Blogs is in a certain place, quite a distance from where Joe Bloggs actually is.. Find a friend is way more accurate!.Version: 22.6.0
✓ TrashTrash.Version: 20.7.2
✓ To all the parentsI understand the concept of this app. To know where each other are located when you need to know. Parents calling us rebellious teens for having to “hide” where we’re going...No we aren’t. If I tell you I’m going somewhere....that’s where I’m going ...if you need to know where I’m at...call me. With the inaccuracies on the tracking it’s great to come home and get asked 500 questions. Let me ask you, parents. Were you ever tracked when you were a kid? As long as parents do not abuse the app and check it ever 15 seconds (which I know happens) it’s fine. It’s a great app for emergencies, but most overuse it. You weren’t tracked as a teen and you probably turned out just fine. Talk about destroying freedoms and relationships. These straight A students you can find it the comments (before the company removed the badly rated comments) deserve parents trust. If you can’t trust them they sure aren’t going to trust you. Don’t be surprised after years of this they move out and don’t come back or talk to you for a while. Here’s a tip if you MUST have some sort of tracking. Use find my iPhone which tells of the last place a specific iPhone was and it’s already installed on iPhones. It’s actually accurate. I hear the argument often, “what if you were in a crash and no one could find you”....Really? I doubt that’s the real reason, but again...find my iPhone works just fine for that..Version: 21.2.0
✓ IFTTTWhat happened to ifttt. You tight wads. Pay the money and let us get on with home automation..Version: 20.6.1
✓ Good interface, bad ideaMy parents still force me to have it and I’m 18, it’s a great way to loose trust in your kids and too constantly stalk them but if you want to keep a good relationship I wouldn’t recommend. I absolutely hate this app more than anything, I wish it was banned so children of struct parents weren’t subjected too it..Version: 21.2.1
✓ App sucksDon’t download this app is not good it will track u and all ur info will be taken.Version: 21.8.1
✓ GARBAGEThis trash is loading so slow and doesn’t trash accurate location..Version: 20.6.1
✓ Bad appYa no..Version: 20.7.2
✓ My balls weren’t cared forI called the nurse about orange bumps on my ball no help.Version: 22.7.1
✓ Terrible apps not accurateMy wife and I have been using this apps for 2 years now then all of the sudden it stopped working in her end it always says her phone is off or no coverage even though her phone is on . We tried everything to fix it. Changed our both password and logged out for 24 hours and turn it back on and still says her phone is off. Please fix this ..Version: 20.6.1
✓ Login issue alwayIt does not login by cellphone as well as email Even login information okay still system messages of incorrect email or password no matter you reset hundred of time it will not let you in. It also does not allow your cellphone with other email address May be reset login update after a day or two.Version: 22.6.0
✓ UnreliableThis app most of the time is accurate but it’s unreliable. It shows my daughter where she used to work. It tracked her on the way to her new work ok then suddenly her location was wrongly changed. I deleted app and reinstalled. Same problem, new work shows then jumps to old work. It also tracks slowly sometimes and other times appears pretty close to real time. Last week my granddaughter was showing at one fixed location for a few days but was actually moving around. My daughter reinstalled hers/granddaughters apps. They show different locations sometimes to my phone. Iron out these bugs and it would be a 5. Won’t be paying till then. Shame..Version: 22.7.2
✓ AnywhereI’ve been using this app for awhile now, I love it as my partner is a truck driver so I can see where he is and where my 2 kids are but I’m sick of getting notifications saying one of my daughters has left home at 4am and she’s over a hill in the bush than arrived home 5 minutes later. I get so many that they have left or arrived home all throughout the night. This is meant to let you know where your family are not give you heart attacks. This needs to be fixed..Version: 21.7.0
✓ Inaccurate and inconsistentThis app is good in theory and there are many things I like about it like adding places etc. However, I use it for my children, exactly same model phones exactly the same mobile carrier and sometimes when they are together the results are different. First started noticing it with alerts for areas going off, it wouldn’t advise my daughter had left a location until we were several kms away from the circle. Even today, both kids went for bike ride same place, on way there app didn’t pick up one of the kids until she was half way there, the other child the app was ‘estimating where she was’ as the line didn’t show up on any roads. But I’m the way back the app had kicked in properly and the results were consistent. So I guess what I’m trying to say is when you move it takes a while for the app the track… and the results are quite inconsistent..Version: 21.12.0
✓ Can give parents a heart attackWe initially liked this app despite the flaws that occasionally happened with delayed notifications and “could not be located”. But last Friday my family nearly had a heart attack when we’ve received a notification that our son (12) left the school unexpectedly mid morning and was located in a woodland 2 miles away from school!! The notification was delayed as Life360 stated he was at that location already 20min ago. When I frantically tried to call his phone no one answered and Life360 started showing he’s can no longer be located, I drove to that location instantly to look for our son while my husband was on the phone to the school office to check if he’s in class and my mum was taking heart medication… The school confirmed that our son was in the class all the lesson and never left the building. Then after another 20min Life360 was showing our son’s location at his school again! This is totally unacceptable for an app that parents rely on for safety of their children..Version: 22.9.0
✓ Worst app everIf you wanna ruin your trust and relationship with your kid this app is perfect. My parents forced me to get it and since then there has been no trust ever.Version: 21.1.1
✓ CamSeems to have got very slow and won’t update as it did.Version: 21.3.1
✓ ScammersIf you read through the terms and conditions carefully, it says that they can sell your information. Not doing that today….Version: 21.8.1
✓ I can’t go to partiesThanks.Version: 21.5.0
✓ Removal of previous reviewsI received an email from you requesting me to reevaluate your company due to past negative reviews given by your users. This is why I give you one star. I don’t agree with you asking your service provider to remove previous reviews because they were not acceptable to you. I don’t get the option to contact the credit bureau and ask them to remove all of my negative history because I failed at something. I work to make things better and pay the price until I can prove myself. I feel you should not ask us, your users, to reevaluate you because you removed previous reviews because they were low. There was a reason they were low, either misunderstanding or actual failure to provide to your users. Both considered a failure. Either way, it should make you reflect on what caused the low reviews and should try other means to prove your company as opposed to deleting pertinent feedback given by your users. You now have enlightened me now on how it is possible to manipulate reviews if they are not giving you a positive outcome. And I’m sure this feedback will surely end up the same as your other negative feedback, deleted. But I did want you to know how I felt. Notice nothing in this feedback is in regards to your actual product. Only in the manor you wish to control the way users who give you feedback. I wish you luck and strength in the future of your business..Version: 21.1.0
✓ My parents made me get this appI hate this app, it’s absolutely annoying AND for some stupid reason it’s saying that my phone is off when it’s not.Version: 21.1.0
✓ If you hate your kidsThis is how you lose your child's trust and friendliness. please never download this app if you plan on tracking your children or your partner without their consent. this is so blatantly disrespectful and creepy..Version: 20.7.0
✓ InvasionThis is not how parents should be “maintaining a healthy relationship with their kids”. It’s ridiculous that parents are watching their every move. Children deserve some aspect of privacy and if your wondering why your kid doesn’t like you very much than this is part of the reason..Version: 20.6.1
✓ Don’t do it...Unless you want lifelong trust issues that can grow into hate :).Version: 20.8.0
✓ ReadHate this app:) if it wasn’t for this app I’d be living my teenage life right now but instead I can’t go anywhere +I’m being tracked at all times? Hate it..Version: 21.7.0
✓ Good But Needs ImprovementsThis app is great in many ways but at the same time it also lacks a lot. I have had the app tell me that my son left school in the middle of the day and was showing him in the middle of a farm field. He in fact was at school and never left. It isn’t always accurate in showing where someone is and will show them 2-3 buildings down or across the street (but eventually does reload to reflect the correct location). When you go to review someone’s drive that has been completed it doesn’t show the actual drive but has just jagged lines that shows you drove through the middle of buildings, fields and across neighborhoods. I have had the app state that my drive had “hard breaking” when in fact I didn’t (not even close). My daughter has also been in two accidents where one actually totaled her car and I was not notified by the app of the accident. The idea of it is great but they have a lot to work on. Talking with their customer service is pointless as it is obvious that they are just reading from a prompt and don’t actually listen to your concerns or have knowledge of the app. Yes, it does help but if you are wanting to know exact routes you child took to get to their destination this is not the app for you. If you child has hard breaking reports don’t be too hard on them because there is a large chance that it didn’t actually happen..Version: 21.1.0

✓ Didn’t detect major accident and still selling tracking data!Oct 2022: Why is Life360 taking browsing history?? Why??? More 2022: Wife still uses this and was involved in two major car accidents where the car was totalled and it did not detect an accident - shocking that it can’t be relied on. —- 2022 review: I used to recommend Life360 to everyone but now I am shocked to find out that they sell your tracking data to third parties and in particular insurance companies. I am still deciding what to do about this but I want everyone to know about this and it’s quite disturbing to say the least. Very very disappointing! Old review: 5 stars. Every family and good friends should use this app. It has literally rescued us on multiple occasions from being lost and in danger in a foreign country, lost phones, child safety when left in the care of others and making sure friend and family get home safely. One request!!! I need 35 days history not 30 as months have 31 days and then a few extra days spare so you have time to tally up distances traveled for work..Version: 22.11.0
✓ My opinionThis app completely ruined my life. my mother uses it to track me everywhere. all of my freedom is gone. parents please just trust your kids you all sound crazy forcing your kids to get it.Version: 21.7.1
✓ Cool for friends but chat is so laggyI have a circle with my friends but whenever i use the chat feature it bugs out and lags everything and is incredibly frustrating. pls fix thank you.Version: 21.4.0
✓ Life360This app is not very accurared I live at 99 and it says that I live at 93 so it’s not very accurate on address just basically Street 911 services aren’t free you got a pay for that when 911 services are free to call and all that think before you get the app it is a great app it’s just not Acord.Version: 22.7.2
✓ Used to work but doesn’t anymoreI’ve updated the app several times in hope that it will start working again like it used to. I don’t get notifications anymore of people leaving or arriving at places until hours later. If I try and locate them on the map, their location is completely inaccurate (I know this because we will be at home together and it’ll say they’re out in the middle of nowhere). Currently, it says my fiancé has his phone off or no network but I am currently on the phone with him. Please fix the app because it used to be so good and it’s just not anymore.Version: 21.2.0
✓ TrackerTerrible app its a sham.Version: 21.1.1
✓ Selling your info unless you opt out.I’ve been using this app for years. Even had a paid plan for a while there. But today, it’s been uninstalled on all of my families devices because of one (not so simple) thing: selling our information for profit. Buried three layers deep is an option where you must manually opt out, otherwise they’ll sell your location and history of data. This is low-life, shady and despicable. Disgusting ethics. I’ll never use this service again, and I’ll be suggesting the same to my entire network of friends..Version: 21.11.0
✓ HowHow does it have a 4.4 rating... literally ruined sm relationships between parents n kids.Version: 21.4.0
✓ Don’t use this to track you children!!It’s extremely frustrating as a teenager to have your strict parents control your life this much, I (an 18 yo) can’t even look at them anymore, because they don’t trust me, they pretend like it’s for your “own good”, but seriously they dgaf about your own good, only about themselves..Version: 22.6.0
✓ I hate this appI really don’t like this app the timing is off when it says I’m leaving home and flushes out and puts me on a random street when I’m somewhere else don’t use it!!!!!!!.Version: 20.7.0
✓ Prison lifeThx can’t live my life now 🙄.Version: 21.1.1
✓ Does not accurately calculate trip summariesAs a tracker this app is okay. However, it is incapable of totting up the daily journeys to provide an accurate summary. Shouldn’t be difficult to do given it is simple addition. Support is robotic, ignores what is reported and goes in an auto mode, which fails to follow the route cause. I thought it was a poor attempt at AI. Support insist that the issue is related to 2 or more devices logged in at the same time. This was a daft suggestion given the individual journeys were correctly calculated. But I changed the password to ensure any other devices were disconnected. Obviously that didn’t work. I can’t understand why this app cannot perform the simple task of adding up the daily journeys and provide an accurate daily summary. Worst still that support are incapable of understanding the issue and, therefore, providing a fix. I will not be renewing my paid subscription and I would recommend giving this app a wide berth if mileage summaries are important to you or you need competent support..Version: 21.2.1
✓ Unreliable appI was so happy I found this app so I could check that my children were ok when traveling to/from school and sports activities and it was great initially but lately it has been unreliable with huge lags on location updates on family members which is a major concern and defeats the whole purpose of the app. From a safety perspective you could not rely on it to give you a real time location of your family members. Reliability, real time updates are critical. Time to search for a more reliable app..Version: 21.7.1
✓ Very unreasonable when it comes to parentingMost of the time, parents feel that keeping track of where their children are at at all times is a way to keep them safe, when in reality, you are teaching your child not to trust you. When you are telling your child that you feel the need to track them, you are indirectly telling them that you don’t trust them and you don’t trust that they are honest with where they are going. This builds a dishonest relationship between you and your child. Now, i’d understand if your child was around 8 or 9 years old and you wanted to keep track of them in case of an emergency. But using this on ages 15 and older is so unbelievably wrong. You are teaching your child to lie and hide things from you. No parent wants that. Learn to trust your own kid because it sounds like an issue with you. If your child has given you no valid, logical reason for them not to be trusted, you shouldn’t feel the need to track where they are. Overall, this app can be useful in certain circumstances but when it comes to use within the teenage age group, it is illogical and stupid. I’m a teenager myself and let me tell you, we all find ways around this app. And there are some believe it or not. It’s better to not track your child and receive the honest truth than to be lied to and think you know the truth. suit yourself. that’s all I had to say and any parent with a little bit of intelligence will come to a conclusion that my argument is valid..Version: 21.7.1

✓ Useful APP but need to improvedThis APP is very useful for me to track where my kid is located between school and home. However, most of the time I have to keep refreshing for ages , because most of the time it just show that he is still at the same spot and notifications pops up as “he can’t not be located”. I have to remove this APP and get it agin from APP store to get it actually start working again. Very stressful when I need to see where my kid is but the APP doesn’t work. We suppose to receive a text showing that family members are left home but sometimes the text arrives 20 minutes later after we left. Not accurate at all. I don’t think it’s a problem of our signal as it happens all the time even both of us having strong signals. Please improve this problem, also make the locations are showing more accurate..Version: 21.3.1
✓ Very dangerousThe concept is great and better than the other I’ve tried but one extreme concern and the only reason we parents even pay for these subscriptions is the location. The location is so delayed sometimes I pick my son up from school,3pm and the app will tell me he’s left the school at 3:10 sometimes 3:20 when I’m walking up my house road which means that my kid could have been in trouble and this inaccurate detailing would also put him at risk because it doesn’t show accurate location for me to even show police his last whereabouts. Highly concerning and developers really need to look into this. I’m officially cancelling my subscription until this is rectified. it’s to dangerous!.Version: 21.9.0
✓ Unnecessary notificationsI don’t need to know that my sisters battery is at 7%. She knows..Version: 20.7.2
✓ No option to hide location without EVERYONE being notifiedSame as title you cannot have any privacy period- for extremely strict, nosey and untrusting Parents this app is a dream come true!!! But for Teenagers to young adults who are trying their hardest to enjoy the freedom they deserve, this app couldn’t be any worse. If you even TRY to hide your location or turn it off EVERYONE will know it is off without fail- there seems to be a misunderstanding in apps like these and how they are used, some people will say things like “communication is key” “you just have to be honest” etc but if we just want to be away from our family and relax with friends or going out and we have the world’s strictest parents then it’s not “just about communication” it’s about the freedom we WANT and DESERVE- a few months ago I did discover a way to hide my location without anyone knowing but apparently it seems to have been patched so in other words there goes my last hope into being able to have any sibilance of freedom. I wish the creator of life 360 or someone anyone in the dev team would understand things like this and make it a actual OPTION in the app for us to HIDE our location without ANYONE being notified period. I hope this review reaches the right people and the creators realize that some parents in family’s only want one thing- Control over their children in all ways , no privacy and no boundaries..Version: 22.6.0
✓ Going downhill rapidlyAn entire short trip of one kilometre from home was not recorded. I know this because I was video chatting with the contact at the time of the trip on messenger. So clearly the phone had signal and was connected to the internet. Also, when you open your contact it now it almost always says briefly not updated for (some time) maybe 3 or 4 hrs or so, but then changes to updated now. If you consider the first part of this review. You then ask yourself what might of happened during this length of “ not updated for” period. As I say this app is going downhill rapidly Customer services are now assisting..Version: 22.2.0
✓ PrivacyMy parents want me to download life 360 I don’t want to please stop….Version: 22.7.2
✓ So uselessAtp the creator of the app should just say they were insecure and needed to track their non existent family.Version: 22.7.1
✓ Lose your child’s trust 101My mom downloaded this and then deleted it cuz she knew it would destroy my trust with her and my dad. Terrible app if your trying to watch your kids location all the time..Version: 20.8.0
✓ NoMy mom knows I made out with a guy and now she hates me forever thank you.Version: 21.7.1
✓ STILL FRUSTRATINGUPDATE II: I still seem to have issues now with my moms tracking. I’ve checked the settings and all is correct. But, it still shows her at home since November 25, 2020. My daughters seemed to have resolved itself of previous problems. But, in good conscience, I just cannot give this app more than two stars at this time due to continued issues. Get your app together L360. It’s long over due. 🤨 UPDATE: Developers were very quick to reach out and try to help with a resolution. I give them kudos for that. However, I opted to not pursue their suggestions again because they were taking me down the exact same road as my previous THREE times I’ve had concerns to report. It doesn’t fix the problems. It never does. So, for the sake of my sanity, it’s no longer worth my time nor the frustration. I will let my subscription expire and will purchase the HUM tracking device. My dad has had it well over a year without a single issue whatsoever. This app is USELESS!! It will not update locations. It consistently shows my daughter at home when I know she’s at school. It randomly decides when the heck it’s going to work. I’ve contacted systems help. I’ve done EVERYTHING to make sure our settings are correct. THEY ARE!! It STILL won’t work. We paid the $$ to have the premium service too and it’s a complete waste of money. It gives me ZERO piece of mind. I’ll very soon be looking for a new tracking app. Can’t wait to get RID of this one. 😡.Version: 21.1.0
