Ican't even use it anymore! It's says update it but in Google store it's already updated in July of this year(23). I need this app to work. My husband's on trips all the time. Idk where he is without calling him while he's driving. Wth?! There should be a way to turn it off at night when we're home in bed. That's the biggest downfall I can't stand. it's running 24/7. Other than that id give it 4 to 5 stars. Really need to address this issue.

Updated 9/4/23...keeps 'not responding' 2 of my family members and I can't add pictures to my family. Cleared the cache and still noting. Doesn't need updating because I checked. Keeps going down hill!! Since the update, my app keeps logging me out and I am the primary. I have searched and cannot find any support or help to show me what to do. Also, the other two devices have changes their profile picture however they are now back to the old ones. How can I fix this?

For $10 a month, it should work! Ever since T-Mobile took it over, it doesn't do live tracking and always says my wife and kids have their location off. My wife and I have S22 Ultra phones, so I know it isn't a device issue. The app also randomly deletes me and makes me sign back up, other times it just plain won't open regardless of being up to date. This app has become absolute garbage, and the fact my wife and daughter have been gone 90 minutes with no notification from either says its broke.
