Good app in theory..

As a Harry Potter fan, I’m kind of disappointed. The app still shows my husband at home even when I know he’s at work. It doesn’t allow me to actually see where he is and I don’t know if it’s because he has an android and I have iPhone or not. It doesn’t really do a whole lot of tracking. Disappointing.

Horrible

It may work in a computer but in mobile it’s the worst! First it could not find my address, then when I told it where I lived it could not scroll down so I could save it. I just started but I’m sure the rest gets worse. Sad, it looked cool. Needed more development before launch!!!

Thank you so much for writing this, and I'm really sorry your first try went like that. Your feedback helped us big time, and we've already got a fix coming out next week. If you'd like to give it another go, please drop us a line through Support in the app. We'd love to make it up to you.

Eh

Cute but just doesn’t function well. Isn’t super accurate on location. To be a paid subscription should have a fully functional map with locations labeled. I shouldn’t have to label Taco Bell. My free life app does more and has a much more functional map.

Thanks for "cute", we wanted checking on your people to feel warm, not like surveillance. On the map: we've just added new icons for your places, but for now you do have to label them yourself. Thank you for telling us that basic places should simply show up on their own — that's genuinely useful to know. On accuracy: it depends a lot on the phone being tracked. Location needs to be set to "Always" with Precise Location turned on. We're also working on making location more accurate on our side. As for free apps doing more: free apps have to make money somehow. We'd rather charge one small subscription — for your whole group — than ever sell where your family goes. Give us another look sometime?

disappointed

I think it’s ludicrous that you have to pay to add more than one person when apps like life360 don’t require that. I was looking forward to this app because I’m a harry potter fan, but I was unable to enjoy it with my friend group for reasons previously stated. In this economy I feel like it’s a little entitled to ask for an up charge to include multiple people in your group.

Thanks for writing this — we'd much rather hear it than not. One thing that's easy to miss: a single subscription covers your whole group, so only one person pays. For a few friends sharing it, that's very little each. As for why it's paid at all: we don't sell anyone's data, so the subscription is what keeps Protego running. If it still doesn't work for you, drop us a line through Support in the app — let's see what we can do.

Tracker

This app is kinda like Life360 but in Harry Potter form. I downloaded it and got all my friends in on it. This app is really really cool

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.

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-

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).
