This app is not accurate. It said I was driving in the 100 mph range and I was clearly doing around 70. It also says I will be places when I'm home or at work.

Used to be a great app, even though there were some problems with location accuracy. A few weeks ago, they introduced a new UI and a new version which compromised on performance and accuracy. Today they have tried to restore to the old version, but not quite. They have half restored it. When you click on a person to see where they are, the focus does no longer go to that person. It seems like sloppy testing team :(

When my sister, brother-in-law, husband and nephew capsized on a boat, 911 could not pinpoint their location but Life360 could and it saved their lives! My phone took 1st responders right to them with this app!

Used to be good now it's not it used to show directions to the person and automatically open Maps. And take you there. They have now got rid of this feature which is a backward step. All you can do now is click on it and it just shows you the route. Lots of my family and friends are not updating the app as they will lose this on the update. It was very handy if you need to get to somebody it will take you to them. Just don't understand why it was removed in the first place.

Used to be a great app - I have two daughters. One away at school and another in high school. It always was accurate and I was always able to get notifications. (I have an iPhone and they do as well). NOW... omg unreliable on EVERYTHING!

This app used to be pretty good. Since it's last update, you now have to leave the app open in order for it to work. If something happens to someone, how can this be of any use if the app happens to be off. This is totally worthless now.

I have three teens and loved this app when they were new drivers. Got woken up tonight by an alert that one had left home. FREAKED OUT! Went and looked... everyone is in bed. Sat up about 45 minutes calming my racing heart and got the alert that they were back at home. Definitely not reliable. Glad it woke me up though, someone would've been in huge trouble had I seen that "trip" and believed the app to be accurate!

Installed and set up ok. After 1 week I'm uninstalling and seeking alternative. My son's been home for over an hour and I just received an alert that he is leaving school. I would not trust this app to keep my dog safe let alone my kids.

Thanks to the internet, so much has changed. I will like to share this here: I once had a cheating wife that connived with my employee to rob me off my company. I had my suspicions though so to clear my doubts I had to make a deep research for the best hacker to help me out. I found this hack genie on Google and read good reviews about him on many blogs, I contacted him via email at...
[ COMPUTERWORM. HACKER (a t) HOTMAIL dot COM] and he got me all the information I needed to stop them. I will forever be thankful to this guy for saving my life and business I built with my hard earned money.
Additionally, If you are a business owner and want to keep track of your workers, clone hard disk, cell phones, all social media networks discreetly without blowing your cover. Also, Website hack, school grade, credit score hacks you can contact him at his business address above

Our family of 4 has used this app for the past 3 years. With two teenage boys, it has been life saving at times. It has brought peace of mind and awareness when most needed. A month ago, I would have given it 4-5 stars. It was occasionally inaccurate with location but would fix itself in a matter of a few minutes. The app went through an automatic "update" about 3 weeks ago and has been nothing but a hot mess. The alerts for people arriving/leaving a saved location, runs 15-90 minutes behind real time. It will alert more than one time for the same thing. It used to give you the ability to pull up family members and see a visual time line from when they left home, to when they arrived at a location, with a circle and the number 1. Then the next travel line, with a circle and the number 2... and so on. So at the end of the day, you could see your child's traveled path cleanly and concisely. NOW it gives you the travel lines, in no particular/directional order and has a small dot for every time the vehicle stops for more than a few seconds. NOW, at the end of the day you see a bunch of lines you can't make sense of and 20-40 small dots (in no sequential order). You can't tell the difference from a true destination "stop", to a red light stop, sitting traffic stop, drive through stop. If you want to try and solve the screen full of lines and dots, you better allow a couple of hours. Useless

Been using Life 360 for 2-3 years and was really about 90+% satisfied with it all the time. Thought that when it failed was likely for lack of more wifi locators or something. Used it w/ an HTC and now w/ a Samsung 8 AND a Moto G6. All was fine until, unfortunately, my phones auto-updated the app to Version 18. 4. 2. Whether in Colombia or Miami, FL, could always easily locate my family members in the otheror same country w/out problem. Since update: when I try to locate others, it's either frozen in the last, previous location of days past or it shows me the family member icon over a totally out-of-focus map that tells me nothing, and doesn't correct itself after waiting for long period of time. NEW AND IMPROVED is normally NOT a good thing. Please update to at least the previous version; it was working great.

I have used life360 for over 2 years and although it often was slightly inaccurate, today it made us so using it! I attempted to use life 360 with my teenage son as he was working in a place that he wasn't familiar with and needed to be sure I could help him find directions if needed. We had some personal issues that warranted us having an app like this to help him out. The app notified me he had left work and was traveling north, an hour away from our home. I tried calling him but since he was working, he did not have his phone and didn't answer. The location kept moving north as if he was driving. Needless to say, we as parents were afraid there was something wrong after 12 unanswered calls and life360 showing he was still moving north on the interstate. Being that his father is a police officer, he drove to our son's work to see if he was there and fortunately he was. The app was completely inaccurate and caused terrible stress in our lives. We will definitely NEVER use it again and be sure to tell all of our contacts the same. We are so disappointed we trusted it but grateful all is well with our son.

Is your husband cheating on you? Then, It's Not the Time to Mourn, but the Right Time to Act

Can I monitor my husband's Galaxy S8 Plus and IPhone X without touching it and without anyone knowing? My husband often chats with strange women, is he derailed? I found Spyfix6 by Google searching, the procedure is safe
I hope you can also use his services
Love is often a man's most beautiful feeling until he discovers his partner's extramarital affair.
Everyone has an uncanny ability to pick up unseen clues. They might be true or just way off the mark, whatever the case may be, It's the time to put your doubts to rest with Spyfix6 to spy on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, IPhone X and other Smartphones.

Ok, so I never take the time to review stuff, but this takes the freaking cake, and now that I have read other reviews on this app I understand I am not alone. I just spent an hour convincing my wife that I was not cheating on her because of the locations in this app being WAY OFF! And showing me to have been in places I wasn't. It actually showed two separate trips at two separate times during the day to unknown residential areas that I have never been too, all during a period of time that I never left my office building! Not sure how this happens when you never even leave the F N building?!?! I understand a lack of accuracy at times, but this was just plain showing walks and trips I have never taken, to areas I have never been to?!?! Try to explain this to your wife when you are out of town on a business trip! I'm serious... you people gotta fix this crap before you tear up a marriage! I added two pics below to show what was being seen. I never left the freaking building!
