Your children will not come to your funeral

Incredibly harmful and creepy

Kids need privacy

Are you thinking of getting this app for your kid? Maybe they got in trouble at school. Maybe the have bad grades. Or, god forbid, they smoked weed. Or perhaps you just want it to make sure their safe.

Well, trust me, this app won’t help you or your kid out a lot.

To start off, this app drains your battery. What’s the point of spying on- sorry, I mean making sure your kid is safe if their phone is dead?

Secondly, your kid needs privacy. Yeah yeah, you want to protect them, but protecting them means letting them make their own path. By getting this Orwellian app you are co-signing them to a life where they will never have any privacy. Are they trying to get a girl/boy? Nope, they’re scared you’re listening to them because of your lack of trust.

DO NOT GET THIS APP.

I’m concerned

Bro this app can listen to your child? What if your child is talking about something that does NOT concern the parent ?? At least give your child some privacy . Like at least life360 exists so you know where your kid is . And this drains your battery faster like my iPad is almost dead already also this has a bunch of glitches and can cause people to not trust there parents like if my mom had gotten this for me I would’ve stayed in my room all day and cried. And now my friend has it so we can’t talk anymore YOUR APP MADE ME LOOSE A FRIEND . I’m dissapointed

Battery Draining, Total Invasion Of Privacy

My mom uses this app, fortunately I’ve convinced her to use Life360. This app drains my battery 6 times faster than usual. Next, it tracks your children. Which is okay, not really a problem. A lot of parents nowadays are paranoid. But the problem is you can listen to their surroundings. There’s more. This app tells you EXACTLY which room your child is in precisely. If you look on their tiktok account, it shows exactly what I’m talking about. The child goes into school, you click location, and it shows you the schools layout and which room the child is going in. I Just thing this app is very creepy. Go to Life360!!

Horrible

This app is so horrible. This app is just to take away your kids bond with each other with this app, so many parents wonder why the children don’t like the parents mainly because the parents use this app to stalk there children and make them uncomfortable while they want to have fun with friends and not be comfortable for children who don’t like parents spying on them. Just horrible to ruin your children’s relationship with each other.

No

I think it’s just wrong for this app to even be used. Yeah I get it with wanting to see where your kids are, but you can literally just use any other app that DOESN’T listen in on where your child’s at. Like why do you want to know what’s happening in the middle of their class at school? Or even when their at a friends house having a REALLY personal conversation that they don’t want you to hear? I think this was a good idea, just not executed properly. Just use “find my” to see your child’s location. Plus, it’s battery draining. Like why even USE this app?? That’s it.

please don’t invade your child’s privacy like this

if you find comfort in knowing your child’s every move, you should trust your child enough that when you ask they should tell, and if your children are dishonest and DONT TRUST YOU i really don’t think this app will help gain their trust. don’t ask why your children hate you when this app invaded their personal life because of your problems.

Very weird

This app is unnecessary. The hearing of the voices in real time really is kind of crazy, some kids need privacy. You can always know where your kid is but any other app can do the same. This app has and will ruin many families because of the low amount of privacy and the battery draining is horrible. Even if the app isn’t on, it will track the kids location and the battery will drain faster. Not recommended.

Awful App

I am 13 years old,7th grade so don't take my opinion to heart. This app is very creepy. My mom made me download it today and i was doing some research and I don't like this app at all. I don't want my mom to hear my surroundings at all. It's not like i'm doing anything bad, I just want privacy. She already has the life 360 app what more could she need? This app needs to be taken down IMMEDIATELY. 0/10

Bad parenting

DONT GET THIS APP! My parents are using this app for me and I’m expressing my concern that I need privacy not that I have anything to hide but I need privacy and because of the feature that they can listen to my surroundings and see who I call I can’t even tell people about it because I have my phone whit me at all times. I notice that I am starting to isolate my self more and I’m just upset at all times that I can’t act freely even around my self, and in addition there are a lot of skeptical thing on this app.
