Comments on Life360: Family Safety & GPS for Android
★★★★★Eleasha Marsh· Aug 20, 2026
Love this app. Prevents me having to argue with my kids to send me their location. I know my family is safe. Even the basic free option is amazing. Lifesaver
★★★★★Jean Bennett· Aug 24, 2026
Life 360 has been so useful, and it takes away a lot of anxiety and stress as you can see where your family is at a touch of your finger. I certainly would not be without it now.
★★★★☆Barry Godfrey· Sep 7, 2026
it is a good app that gives you a rough area the person is. a few times I've been meeting up with family members, and I've gone into the wrong building as the apps' location is quite a bit off sometimes. However, it doesn't put me off of using it. My daughter found her friends at boomtown with this app, so it's not too bad
★★★★★Rissa Bruno· Aug 24, 2026
Helped my family so much when one of my children was struggling in life. Gave me peace of mind that I could see where they were. Now we use it all the time
★☆☆☆☆Ethan Standel· Aug 20, 2026
I am an adult. There's no reason why the app should be constantly harassing me about giving it location or physical activity permissions. The fact that it keeps giving me notifications telling me it needs those things is absolutely horrendous. This app should not be allowed in the store because I'm so sure this amount of harassment must break store policies. Minor nit: with how bad this app is on battery it's a real slap in the face how bright it is. Get a dark mode.
★★☆☆☆Edward Shea· Aug 29, 2026
I use an Android S23. I have a mixture of Android and iPhone users in my family group. If you use an iPhone, Android and iPhone users are shown correctly. On my Android S23, the Android users are shown correctly, but the iPhone users are shown with "Physical Activity Options Off" with this latest update.
★★☆☆☆William Dolton· Aug 24, 2026
Will not show my exact location. Full permissions granted. App still says I must grant exact location permissions. I have granted it all access. How do I fix this?
