cell phone location apps

[mad4osu]

Anyone have input on cell phone apps that they have on their family/childrens phones for location tracking. I know find my iphone but does anyone have experience with others?

I have my family, even my old ass parents, on life360.

I use 360 also. I couple that with myatt where I can monitor usage (where you can see every number called/texted, but not actual content) and turn on and off data usage, etc.

Wife brought Life360 up to me, said one of her friends and her family used it and asked if we should have it. I gave her a blank dead eye stare, that was the end of the conversation and she walked off.

I get teenage kids, especially those that are drving but my oldest is 12 and there's no reason my wife needs to know exactly where I'm at at all times. When I "run errands" on a Sunday afternoon she doesn't need to know that it took me two hours because I spent half of that time on a bar stool just enjoying some peace and quiet.

We have life 360 and love it. My 17 year old daughter on their other hand.....I am just thankful they didn’t have this when I was 16!

Life360 for me. Use it to keep your kids honest. You can ask them questions about where they are/were but you already know where they are/were. Took my kids a while to figure out I knew everywhere they had been. An insane amount of value in the app as far as keeping your kids in line during their high school years.

I don't think I will put it on my kids phones when they are teens. Not sure I want to see that my son or daughter has been parked in the middle of a corn field for an hour.

If you add it, they won't be parked in a corn field.

i used to call that getting cat food
(we didn’t have a cat)

or checking the wheat
dirt roading with a 12 pack was a way of life

Google maps does location tracking. People need to just turn it on

FYI your kids probably know how to spoof their GPS location.

Very smart man. About the only time I find myself in the doghouse is because I forget that damn app is on my phone.
