### 1/5 — horrible.

*2026-08-21, version 1.15.197*

it won’t let me delete it even after my ma allowed it on her side. it’s a horrible app that tracks EVERYTHING. it’s an invasive app.

### 1/5 — Get rid of tracking apps

*2026-08-20*

This app literally ruins relationships between  children and their parents. Children have the right to privacy as it is a basic human right and parents should be able to trust them without having to check their location 24/7. This app ruins the trust between parents and their children.. speaking from experience. Because of this app my mum thinks i’m always lying and she’s always paranoid about something happening to me wherever I go. As a result of this, our relationship suffers because she cannot trust me to go anywhere when I have proven her that I’m always careful and safe. If you are a parent reading this, please do not track your children because you think they are lying to you, chose to trust them instead until that trust is broken in other ways. And if you do want to track them for their real safety, don’t shout at them for going out. Let them go out and socialise otherwise they’re going to suffer a lot in the future. Remember we are human too and we want to live our lives, without our parents shouting at us because of a stupid app, because if we don’t live it now while we are young and healthy, when are we?

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2026-08-15*

Muuuito bom pra o que é proposto 😉

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-08-12*

Some loser who doesn’t know how to move on uses this app just to listen to his ex wife’s conversation. He thinks he’s James Bond using this app to spy on someone. He thinks he’s a CIA agent. 

Don’t download this app, it’s for insecure parents, who doesn’t know how to be a parent at all. Don’t be like this loser, be better. 

To all the good parents out there, you don’t need this.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-09, version 1.15.194*

(리뷰가 5점인 이유는 추천에 뜨기 위함이다.실제로는 0점도 가깝다) 이 짧은 글이 이앱을 깔려고 고민하시는 모든 부모에게 닫기를 원합니다.이해하겠습니다 당연히 부모님들은 자신의 아이를 걱정하시겠죠 하지만 아이와 제대로 된 상의가 있지 않는한 제발 깔지 말아주세요.북한도 핸드폰의 채팅을 막아도 위치추적하지 않아요.우리나라는 범죄 발생율이 인구 밀집도에 비해절대 높은편이 아님니다.저희
이제 부모님들도 다 80-90년대에 태어나셧을껍니다. 그리고 우리 부모님들도 친구들과 함께 밖에서 시간을 보냈을텐데 아직 살아계시죠? 80년대 cctv 도 지금만큼의 거의 1/3였는데 살아게시잖아요.우리 청소년들 사망률이 안전사고가 2등이에요 근데 부모님들이 잘관리하는데 어떻게 안전사고 1위일까요?그리고 아이를 생각한다면 학업과 과도한 통제를 줄이시고 아이와 시간을 더보내주세요.청소년 사망 1위는 자살이고 13년째 유지합니다.부모님들의 안심은 언제나 우리 청소년들에겐 깊은 압박일수 있습니다.하지만 자녀분과 상의를 했는데 깔지 말라는게 아니고요 자녀분과 충분한 상의 다음에 깔아주세요!
