Hi my name is Kelly and I am a mom of three teenage kids. I have had life360 for my kids for 2 years and it has been okay to keep track of them BUT I highly suggest NOT using this app. My kiddos would come home from school and it would still say they were at school or somewhere they had to be but all three of them were at the house. This app glitches way too much and I know that their location was on. If you’re a parent I highly recommend not using this app. Because if you read the privacy policy, it can sell the kiddos data related to: location, driving habits, registration details. They can sell this information to insurance companies. I’ve been letting my kids go wherever but would have to have curfew and this app detects crash detect which I thought was a helpful thing. If the app detects an accident then the kid can be a designated unsafe driver, insurance premiums go up for the rest of their life, and there definitely OTHER less invasive location trackers. The same data can also affect health insurance premiums as well. Once again, I have decided to delete this app because whenever I was a teenager life360 and iphones did not exist. I had the appropriate amount of freedom when I was a teenager but I still had curfew. I didn’t feel like my privacy was invaded. I have grown to trust my kids and hope that they make wise decisions. If you want to build trust with your kids give them a curfew and don’t always have the need to watch them every minute of their life. Parents we wouldn’t like that if that we’re us in the 80’s.
