Comments on Life360: Family Safety & GPS for Android

★★★★★ KC Rollans · Nov 4, 2026
Helpful details when we need them & a very useful part of managing our Family - Peace of mind for Parents!
★★★★★ Arthur Hobbs · Nov 3, 2026
This technology has been an incredible help to me. When my late husband had to go to the doctor alone, it gave me peace of mind. Even though driving was difficult for him, I was always able to keep track of his location and ensure he arrived safely.
★★★★★ Stephanie Rivera · Oct 27, 2026
I really enjoy it. I like I can keep track of my family. And know where at all times the best app ever
★☆☆☆☆ Henry Baker · Oct 10, 2026
I hate that they sell data to third party companies, life 360 is one of the largest suppliers of personal location data on the market. The worst part is you get it mainly for your kids, they use that data and sell it
★☆☆☆☆ Adam O'Carroll · Oct 27, 2026
Upgraded both my accounts to Platinum, and it tried to pull funds twice after paying for the upgrade. Then, when I brought it up, they canceled both accounts. Telling me to use the 7-Day free, then restart the accounts. At an additional cost of $48.98. Which I had already paid previously to upgrade.
★★☆☆☆ V T · Oct 27, 2026
Slow and notifications are late. If they have updated the app, it has definitely got worse
★★☆☆☆ The Brodies · Nov 3, 2026
The app is very keen to add new people but there doesn't seem to be any way to remove them? I would also like to know if it can track another phone that has uses the same Google account? I can't find any help section or relevant faq's, so I don't find it very user-friendly; I wanted to use it today but gave up trying to find answers. I will have another look in a few days when I have more time, and will decide then whether to use it.
