About this app

Find my Phone - Family Locator helps you stay connected and ensure the safety of your family members. Using advanced GPS technology, our app provides real-time location updates, allowing you to easily locate loved ones and find them in the crowds with your phone.

Key features for family safety & connection:
✔️ Real-time location tracking: view your family members' live location on a private map.
✔️ Arrival & departure alerts: get notified when family members arrive at or leave predefined places (e.g., home, school).
✔️ SOS button: share your emergency location instantly with your trusted circle.
✔️ Flights tracking: easily know where your circle members fly and get notifications.
✔️ Private in-app chat: stay in touch with your family through secure messaging.
✔️ Quick check-in: let loved ones know you're safe with a tap.

📲 How Find my Phone - Family Locator works:
1. Install the app and grant necessary permissions for the app to function (e.g., location access).
2. Create or join a private family circle. This ensures that only the people you invite and who accept your invitation will be part of your circle.
3. Invite family or trusted members using their phone number, a direct link, or a QR code.
4. Explicit consent is key: Each invited member must explicitly accept the invitation only with consent and grant all necessary permissions (including location access) on their own device before location sharing becomes active for them.
5. Transparent notifications: All members are clearly notified about the purpose of the app, who invited them, and how their location data will be used within the private circle.
6. User control: Find my Phone - Family Locator can only function if each user actively agrees to share their location.

I have bought a full version of the app and, frankly speaking, I am disappointed. It will not start automatically after phone restart, my family members often appear as off-line even though they have internet connection and on some of the devices in my family the app gets closed by the system - won't run in the background. In my opinion it needs a lot of work to become really functional. (Edit) Uninstalled and switched to Google Family Link. It is much more functional and is free.

When members of your family switch of their GPS, they are no longer traceable, but can still see the other members. I think that if you want to track your family members, you should be obliged to turn on your own GPS and keep it on. The last months this app is getting more and more useless. It cannot connect to the servers, it does not show the position of my family members and if it does, very inaccurate. Don't recommend this app. All the members paid for lifetime subscription, lost money

BEWARE! I installed this app once just to locate my phone, paying only for "3 day trial". Then after 3 days they charged me for 1 month without giving any notification. I didn't even have the app installed. Plus I couldn't locate my phone using it. When I contacted customer care, they continuously refused to refund. It is clearly a very unfair and tricky way of getting people's money through an app. No buyer protection. They just steal your money. If you wanna buy "trial" BEWARE. it's a SCAM.
