### 1/5 — Doesn’t Show Contacts Online or Location

*2026-06-03*

This app looked like a promising alternative to Live360, but after installing it several times, it’s still refuses to show my family contacts as either online or their location. Very disappointing. It kind of worked at the very beginning of when I installed it, but then stopped showing the tracking of my contacts. Hopefully they get it together.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-10*

Super location sharing

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-10-20*

It works amazing. Sometimes the map doesn’t load properly and you have to zoom in extra to make it, but other than that it’s very intuitive and functional

### 3/5 — Everybody should know this app!

*2025-09-24, version 1.0.9*

I mean, why use anything else for location tracking? Only uses battery power when you actually move, works cross platform and you can self-host?! Clean Design with everything necessary and no clutter?! Easy five stars. Best Download in Months.

Edit:
It just stopped working for me. Reinstall doesn’t work, cannot see my partners location now. Maybe self-hosting would fix that, but it’s not an option because my ISP doesn’t allow static IP. Was goo while it lasted though

### 5/5 — Präzise

*2025-09-20, version 1.0.9*

Eine sehr gute App mit deutlichem Potential. Vor allem der sichere Umgang mit persönlichen Daten und dem hohen Datenschutzstandard sind ein großer Vorteil gegenüber den Datenverkäufern.

### 5/5 — Finally an app that isn’t selling my user & location data for profit

*2025-09-14*

Great app that does what they promise. Excited to see more features in the future.

### 5/5 — Great Alternative

*2025-01-31*

My family and I use other location sharing apps but I’ve been looking for a privacy focused one. Grid has been a solid alternative.

### 5/5 — Präzise

### 5/5 — Finally an app that isn’t selling my user & location data for profit

*2025-01-04*

Simple app that does what they promise. Excited to see more features in the future.

### 5/5 — Great Location Sharing App

*2025-01-04*

I’m extremely excited to see a location-sharing app that prioritizes privacy and security with E2EE (end-to-end-encryption). I’ve refused to use other location sharing apps for lacking this exact reason, it’s very refreshing finally having an option I can trust. This app works very well and is easy to setup and use. I’m intrigued to see the future of this app.
