Response from developer

Thank you so much — this genuinely made our day. You're right that we've been hard at work banishing those early bugs, and reviews like yours are the kind of magic that keeps us going. If you ever run into anything or have a feature you'd love to see, cast a quick spell our way through the in-app support — we'll be there to help and make Protego even better. Thanks for trusting us!

A good app for parents

I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, so I downloaded Protego GPS for the Hogwarts vibe… but I ended up staying because now I can always see where my child is. Even if they’re “in the Forbidden Forest,” I don’t panic anymore — I just open the map.

Response from developer

This made our whole team smile — thank you. "I just open the map instead of panicking" is honestly the exact feeling we built Protego for. And we'll take any excuse to keep the Forbidden Forest peaceful. So glad you came for the Hogwarts vibe and stayed for the peace of mind — if you ever want something we don't have yet, our in-app support is always listening. Thank you for being part of it!

Not as Described

I did the free trial because this is an absolute dream for a Potter family - however nothing is as advertised- there isn’t a general settings , like in the creator and I have limited access to anything - I can only create a place by knowing its address , map and profile and that’s it - and even that is very limited - cannot ad your own pictures like the ads show. It’s a REALLY cool idea - and would definitely pay for this - but it doesn’t show where they go or alerts like it says - idk what these quests are because they’re not on there - Anyway - super cute idea but for being magically themed - could be way better. Cancelling unfortunately-

Response from developer

Thank you for such thoughtful feedback — you're exactly the family we built Protego for, and it stings that it fell short. You're right about alerts: that feature isn't live in the app yet — it's still in development — and I'm sorry that wasn't clearer up front. On not seeing where your family goes: that part does work, but it usually means the other person never finished joining your family, and that connection step is more confusing than it should be right now (we're actively redesigning it). The version you tried (1.9) is also several updates behind where we are today. We'd really love the chance to make this right for you personally — if you drop us a message through the in-app support, we'll get you properly set up and take good care of you. Thank you for seeing the magic in the idea; we're working hard to deserve it.

Fun alternative to Life360

I’m a Potterhead and love the application. I’ve found a few items that aren’t working exactly correct, but overall it’s a great experience. I wish this was also ported over to Android, as I have one child with an Android phone, unfortunately it’s the one I wanted the app for, so I won’t be keeping it (reason for the -1 star).

Don’t work

I downloaded the app and tried to sign in several times but could not because it said authentication failed so can’t even use it

Can't get past the set up features

Was really excited about this- but I can't get it past the set up screens. It just freezes.
