What's New in Jiobit for Families

1.27.0

December 5, 2024

Ensuring your loved ones’ safety is our top priority, so we’ve made necessary bug fixes to ensure the app runs smoothly and reliably.

User reviews

Horrible service

They have discontinued their device and pulled their customer support phone line. If your app or device stops working, they just keep promising to fix it through emails while they provide no time frame and refuse to refund your subscription.

Location accuracy issue caused by Bluetooth handshakes

The Jiobit sometimes connects to nearby Bluetooth devices that aren’t part of the family account, which throws off GPS accuracy and causes false location jumps. Since Jiobit uses Bluetooth as part of its hybrid tracking system, it can mistakenly assume an unknown device is nearby and update the location incorrectly. A fix would be to add a “Trusted Bluetooth Devices” list in the Life360 app so the Jiobit only pairs with approved devices, or to filter Bluetooth updates against GPS before accepting them.

Last Update Field is USELESS

The app always open with the Last Update field set to 15+ min ago. That tells me nothing. Give me an actual last updated date and time.

Jiobit for my child

I am a very anxious mom especially in today’s world currently and this at least gives me peace of mind, knowing where my child is when he’s at summer camp or school.

Used to be good

Before Life360 buy jiobit, it was excellent. Now the app is outdated and the tracker just don’t work as good as it was before. And we don’t have customer support. The Jiobit website doesn’t work and we can’t access through Life360.
