What goes wrong
fix this please!! i click on the app, and then it immediately shuts down. it’s unusable right now.
Like every other company, life360 ruined its app with 'premium' and slowly locking away all features behind said premium.
This app used to work great but it is very slow and lagging now. Basically unusable.
Still haven't got this app to actually locate anybody in my "circle",but have had to allow intrusive permissions other than just location.
what the use in it telling me the location in my apartment if I cant activate the alarm to locate it within my apartment.
What goes well
Legit been using this app daily!! Helps manage my time when someone is picking me up or makes me be at ease knowing my partner is at home, work, etc.
they are really great Love having 360
Been using this app for yrs now, for the family and this is very helpful and never fails to give exact location.
Love this app, easy for younger and older family members to use. Have been using it for years without issues.
I'm very grateful to have access to most of the features on the free version. excellent app

I finally figured out it's this app always constantly running in the background.
It doesn’t work all the time
dude the app isn't working it bugs to often and I J's can't even load up simple pop ups or even see recent locations.
I got charged for a free trial I had cancelled long before renewal.
Still haven't got this app to actually locate anybody in my "circle",but have had to allow intrusive permissions other than just location.

It is really good so I can track my best friends and ask them were they are and I am now allowed to go out with my friends and walk from my school to my house because she can track me and then she...
so I know where my brother is and when he comes home me and him will play fortnite
This is a great app where my husband and I are able to see where we are! Our work entails a lot of driving but not always together and sometimes long distances.
