Editors' Review
Life360 - Family Locator +more is a helpful application that allows you to monitor your family's activities through GPS tracking and private communication. This easy-to-use program offers tons of safety features, but its constant monitoring system will drain your battery.
Pros
Excellent safety features: The amount of details in Family Locator's map feature is great for keeping track of crime and dangerous areas, especially with the registered sex offender tool. Our map accurately displayed locations of hospitals and other emergency services, and our test phone checked into locations automatically as desired.
Fast performance: We found that Life360 - Family Locator +more is constantly updated with current crimes and family activity, and new maps load without hesitation. The messaging system is rapid, and we observed that the panic button feature quickly sent emails to our linked accounts after recognizing their mobile phones were powered off.
Easily operated: It is not hard to see that this application was designed with children in mind. Sending messages and finding family members is easy due to the large display scheme, and the automatic location monitoring does not require you to manually input data.
Cons
Moderate power consumption: Life360 - Family Locator +more claims that it will use approximately 10 percent of your phone's battery, but we observed that our test device lost about 15 while running this application.
Bottom Line
You will definitely find Life360 - Family Locator +more well built and beneficial for your family. It performed well during all tests and offers a wide variety of tools.

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.

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.
