“It’s not a tracking app” Nope, all it does is tell you their exact location and what they’re doing at every moment of every day. Helpful feature- you’ll get a notification if their phone battery gets below 10%. This allows you to remind them to charge their phone so the track- I mean- the information gathering won’t be disabled.

[@brandonliao408]

It is a tracking app, the app description states it.

[@kalani5249]

For real.

[@bobblofinshlof9741]

i used to not have a phone and i wasn't being tracked when I drive. now i got a phone and it gives me anxiety because if I screw up or go a mile an hour over the limit it alerts my parents and it is really starting to annoy me

[@dawnaper4485]

Keep in mind that your parents love you, and they're trying to keep you safe. Wear it as a badge of honor!! Blessings!✝️♥️🙏🏻

[@listenhere6248]

Oh wow I didn't even think of how stressful this can weight on the children. I'm sorry :/... My mom would've been on me 24/7.

[@chrisotten9156]

There is a parent/child relationship issue here, not a technology issue... Hope your able to find resolution there.

[@-Flea]

I’d be so pissed if my parent put this on my phone. There’s a level of respect of each other’s private lives that this sort of app compromises. If someone wants to know where I am, I should be able to choose to let them know where I am not having them stalking me without me knowing. This app is sus af. If you trust your child to drive you should be able to trust them to be left alone

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

Lol I’m the kid that has it

[@noitallmanaz]

this is the attitude of an entitled kid. Respect is earned and is done so when a child shows a pattern of responsible behavior. If you are pissed about this, then you are hiding something. You are SUS AF.

[@-Flea]

@@noitallmanaz respect goes both ways. If a parent puts this on a child’s phone it shows they don’t respect privacy. If they’ve been that un-trust worthy to need this sort of app then they shouldn’t have access to the device to begin with. Don’t say Sus you absolute boomer cretin

[@markg6927]

Re-examine your feelings when you have to spend most of your life providing food, shelter, clothing, and internet access for your child. It's not necessarily about trust, it can also be about securing an investment.

[@darkmask5933]

@@markg6927 calling a child an "investment" is gross.

As a millennial I find it hilarious how Gen X loves to talk about how they we're latch key kids, but they decide to raise their kids like it's 1984 and I ain't talking about Van Halen.

This makes rebellious kids for sure

We also had it set for my mother-in-law who was 75 and moved from LA to OK. She stayed lost a lot and we were able to locate her and guide her to her destination.

That is a great question

True - but it is helpful as well. My daughter sliced a tire and the app mapped me right to her!

@@MrGizmo211 nah it's just annoying I go 72 on the highway and my dad's like why were you speeding like fuckoff I road with him and he's like why does it say you went 85 because your a hypocrite

[@Kirbdeeznuts]

I promise you as a teen who’s parents used this, we will get around it.

[@Kirbdeeznuts]

Not only that it has gotten me and my brother in a lot of trouble for “skipping school” but I was at school, it’s inaccurate a large amount of times.

[@MrGizmo211]

You aren’t wrong.

[@catrose110]

can the app see you go on KZbin?

[@theothersharon8697]

On the free version does it show you where the phone is or do you have to put in destinations?

[@MrGizmo211]

It will tell you where the phone is!

[@theothersharon8697]

I made a group and gave my daughter the number it won’t let her put it in. I’m trying to find out more info on how to use this app.

I would uninstall the app I wouldn't put up with this crap😢

[@emmamassey001]

I just pause my location when I get home. When I move out in less than 21 days to my college apartment I will probably pause my location unless I actually am driving somewhere. But for rn the only time I turn on tracking is if I am driving somewhere and crash detection but I've decided at almost 20 I can pause my location and my parents can deal with it because I don't go anywhere anyways

[@cardodalisay_7382]

If you exceed 5 miles free towing you will have separate charges Roadside assistance 2 service calls are free per year. Exceeding more than 2 calls will have separate charges that you pay on third party roadside assistance providers.

[@darkmask5933]

This app is very controversial, however at the end of the day the app is just a tool and it is as good or evil as the person using it. Truly concerned and good parents can most certainly use it, with their children's blessing, just to make sure they stay safe. At the same time truly abusive people can use it to keep tabs on their children or spouses against their will to make sure they are always in control and cut off any hope of support. The same things can be said about private investigators or indoor security cameras. They are all just tools.

[@tf6534]

Wondering if it’s strictly in the USA. Always interesting and informative Tim Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@mikerogers4763]

It's also to help your child in safety issues like if there's a case where they can NOT let you know where they are everything isn't about spying on your kids

[@rebeccarobles1559]

I have the free app...but lets say I want to upgrade (I'll pay for that) but do every one that I track have to upgrade also? or they can stay with the free app....I dont get it! been asking but they dont give me an answer : ( ty in advance : )

I had this at one point.. It did what it says it does, ill give it that.. but then, my (at the time 17yr old) now 22yr old daughter turned it on and off as she pleased.... CONSTANTLY....IT DROVE Me Nuts!.. just be cause it shouldnt be that accessible.. there were times that she'd shut it off for days.. and there was nothing i can so about it. I couldnt override, approve, ir decline any changes she made on her end..

[@270Winchester]

You don't need to be tracking her for days. She was 17, almost an adult. That's the problem with these apps kids don't learn to be responsible by themselves but because they're worried they will be punished.

I dont think this sort of monitoring is good for the kids independence and individual responsibility. Plus it compounds the idea that your privacy is no longer important. Go Big Brother.

Chances are what she actually did was back door the app and make it so you can’t track her cause she didn’t trust you.

Correct!! At least 1 of them should be unknown to them.
