Review of the Family Locator And Safety App

If you’re always looking for apps that help keep your family safe, Family Locator might be the app you’re looking for. Offering real-time location data and text alerts, Family Locator is a popular and well-received app with a 4.4-star rating in the Google Play store. Here, we’ll give you our complete review of the Family Locator app.

Family Locator App Features

To use the app, you first create “Circles” – or groups that can be comprised of family members, friends, or whoever is important to you. Once you add someone to your circle, you can see where that person is at one moment to the next using the app’s real-time tracking feature. If you want to keep track of a member of your circle, you can also set the app to send you alerts when a person arrives at or leaves a certain place.

Other features set Family Locator apart from other similar apps. For example, the app lets you track lost or stolen phones using the same real-time tracking capacity. It also provides you other safety tips, like notifying you about your average driving speed and providing crime logs for nearby areas to help you identify safer walking and driving routes. Still another popular feature shows the battery life of each one of your circles’ members.

App Pros

The app is generally well-received, receiving 4- or 5-star reviews by most users. Users who work late appreciate the app letting them know when their children return home after school. Others note that the app updates frequently – letting users see where their family members are at all times without tracking their loved ones all the time.

App Cons

Some users don’t like all of the app’s features, however. For example, some users say that the app doesn’t refresh often enough to call its location tracking “real-time.” Others say that the tracking feature is not accurate, suggesting that the location where the app puts family members is way off.

Overall, however, Family Locator is a great app for protecting your family. Another way to keep your family safe is by having everyone download PSafe Total to their smartphones. PSafe’s antivirus feature ensures that your family is protected from viruses contracted online by scanning SD cards and phone files 24 hours a day. Protect your family in real life, and PSafe will protect you online.
