For some parents, having their child's or family member's location is of upmost importance in case of emergency or in times of need. Because of this, tools like Find My iPhone, Find My Friends, FamiSafe and Life360 were created. There are several options to help locate friends and family through their phone, but recent posts from families around the country have been commending Life360 for keeping their families safe.
For reference, Life360 is a location-sharing service founded in 2008 that has quickly grown to be one of the top apps used for location sharing and notifications in the nation, as well as around the globe. With crash detection and other resources included in the app, parents and families have quicker notices on something that may happen to someone in their Circle.
Parents and other users of the app have shared their gratitude for it's services. With emergency (SOS) contact options and up to date locations, finding a family or friend in trouble can happen quicker than ever. The app is free, but there are two different plans that come with added features such as crime reports. The gold membership is $10 a month, while the platinum is $20 a month.
