It’s a concerning app

I had this tracking app for a week and it’s really weird, My mother use this on me because she thought I was up to something. I work and go to school and this app literally drains my battery ALOT and it always die and it takes away my privacy as well. I had an melt down at school and I talked to my friend about it and my mom was listening the whole time and it was very private. I had an argument with my mother about it and I deleted this app without her permission. A year later I haven’t talk to my mom because she was taking away my freedom and when she downloaded this app, it’s literally the breaking point. Parents please do not download this app. It’s creepy and illegal sometimes you need your kids to have space. Literally Life360 is better and not creepy. This app literally why parents think “I wonder why my kids don’t talk to me anymore” this is why

KIDS NEED PRIVACY

I didn’t even use this app, but I already know what it’s all about, this app is NOT okay. If you want to make sure your child is okay and safe. Might as well use zenly or snap map. I know some parents wants to keep there child safe. But listening to their surroundings is not okay. Kids need privacy too, this can affect your child to ignore you or even hate you. We all need privacy, if my parents did this to me. I would get really upset, I won’t even touch my phone anymore. This can make your child depressed, ignorant, quiet or even suicidal. This also can break you guys relationships. I won’t even talk to my parents anymore. No parents want that, so please, don’t do this to your child. We all need privacy.

Horrible app and insane battery drainage.

Hi. I got this app on my children’s phone because my kids are kind of wild with there phones so I got the app and my kids stopped talking to me. I asked them why and they had no response. I realized it was possibly the app I got so I got rid of it and they started acting great and joyful again. So it was the app and I suggest parents do not get this unless you want a only mom/only dad family! (RATE THE APP 1 STAR TO GET IT OFF THE APP STORE!!)

Do not install!

This app is such an invasion of privacy. I am almost 13 yet my mother does NOT trust me! She can listen into my conversations with my friends, see my apps, texts, etc. Then she always asks me, “why don’t you spend time with me?” Or other things like “why don’t you talk to me anymore?” Well I would say that it’s because she wants to know my EVERY move constantly. Our relationship has went lower & lower after I got this app along with her because she forced me to. I don’t think it’s a good idea for other parents either unless you want your child to not talk to you as much as they used to, it just breaks the bond.

PRIVACY PLEASE

This is such a invasion of privacy. It can hear your sounds around you, and it can know your exact location. This is not a good a app if you value privacy. If you’re a parent please value you kids privacy, yes you have the right to know where they are for they’re safety, but don’t think just because of that you have to hear private conversations.

Opinion

Hey so this app works pretty much on what it’s said to do but it’s extremely creepy. If you want your child’s location alright you can easily do that on life360 or regular iphone app, with sharing location talk to your child about it first. But this listens to them, you can see everything they do on the phone, and drains the battery about 6 times faster. Personal opinion, it’s a sad app that should shut down, besides if you can’t have a trustworthy relationship with someone what makes you think this will make it any better. Slowly you can gain your child's trust this is just a sad app, again if you want locations life360 or iphone sharing location thing works no need for all this 🙏

Drain battery and hearing them.

I really think it’s creepy that you can just hear everything there saying and we have to give them privacy. Also the drain battery goes super fast i was trying to text my son and his battery was dead when he came home he said that his phone was at 100% and after 5 minutes of not using it, it was already at 57%.
So if my son is at a concert or a place where they have no plugs how am I supposed to text him to see if he is okay.

Battery drainer and lets parents NOT RESPECT PRIVACY.

I myself have this Pingo app. They drain my battery so fast I used to have my phone at like 100 then after school I will get out of my locker and it will be at 50 this app needs to be deleted to because my mom does like respecting privacy and most parents like use Life360 way better than this app. Life360 does not let parents like look at what apps the child has been using unlike Pingo I think this app should get deleted or taken off the App Store.
