BondLo
Read full descriptionHide full description
BondLo helps you keep in touch with the people you care about most. Invite family and friends to connect, share your live location with each other, and see everyone on a real-time map — perfect for coordinating plans, meeting up, or simply making sure everyone arrived safely. Every connection is mutual, and sharing stays under your control at all times. LOCATION SHARING • Connect by invitation — Add family and friends with a quick invite code and build your own private circles. Once both sides accept, you can follow each other's live position on the map. Location is only ever shared between people who have mutually agreed to connect. • Full control at all times — Pause location sharing, go invisible, or remove a member whenever you like. Once a connection is removed, the two of you can no longer view each other's whereabouts. • Built on consent — BondLo is designed for voluntary location sharing between people who know and trust one another. It is not a monitoring tool: nobody can see where you are unless you have personally approved them. • Everything on one map — A clean, easy-to-read map shows you and everyone you're connected with, along with nearby places to help you get where you're going. RESPONSIBLE USE BondLo must be used responsibly and within the law. Share your whereabouts only with people who have agreed to connect with you, and never use the app to follow, watch, or bother anyone against their will.
