It's good for the most part. It has been wrong a few times. What I really really don't like is that you only get to see a few inches of screen for the map. Please make it full screen. And stop telling me to turn off my battery saver. Not gonna happen. UPDATE: This app is awful anymore. Half the time it doesn't work. It shows us in the wrong places and is causing us arguments. It keeps showing me going into a field in the middle of the night. I guarantee I am not in a field in the middle of night

Pretty solid app for location sharing, but has issues. The ads and ui is very intrusive and not the nicest to navigate. The pop ups on the map are awful. Additionally, the driving tracker is pretty terrible, it misreads walking or running as driving, and it'll create insane values for texting while driving, etc. Should add a feature that lets you save a location someone is at to use in apps like google maps. You should also optimize battery usage more, too.

I was thinking about upgrading to the paid version of Life360 about the time it changed. I see that I'm not the only one having problems with it. I also noticed people with the paid version are reporting new problems, as well. Originally, it worked mostly great, with occasional lag time in updating locations. But it didn't happen enough to be a problem. Now, it is almost never correct, plus there are things that used to be included in the free version that aren't anymore.
