    Times are INACCURATE — Arrival times are inaccurate. This is so frustrating that the alert that someone has arrived comes as a summary with arrival time 10-20 minutes later than what the person actually arrived. The summary shows my kid is late to school everyday, but if you go into the app, it shows she was actually 10 minutes early. GET IT RIGHT LIFE 360.

    Inaccurate Locations — Alerts are received for being the the vicinity of a listed location. So theoretically my child could be a block from home and be accosted before reaching the front door, and I would receive a ping that he had been home FIRST, then something happened. In a real crime situation, that would lead investigators on a wild goose chase on a false lead, and shave off precious hours o

    Bad location — The location is always WAY off… it’s very disappointing for the fact that we have to pay and it’s not even accurate. Find my iPhone is more accurate and it’s free.

    Let us turn off ads — We pay $15 a month for your app, let us turn off advertising push notifications without turning off location notifications. So dumb.

    DO NOT PAY EXTRA FOR CRASH DETECTION/ GOLD MEMBERSHIP! — I am 16 and have been in two accidents my mother pays extra for crash detection/ the gold membership because she worries about me. It has not alerted her 2/2 of the times I have been in an accident. This is beyond disappointing and frustrating to know we are wasting money for a critical safety feature to not even work. I could have been blee

Who’s in it

All 12 apps counted in this market · 2026-09-02.

Apps count as part of a market for 90 days after they last appear in it. Installs are Google Play's own count, last captured 2026-09-13. 5 of 12 apps have an Android listing we could match. A dash means we could not pair the two stores, not that the app is absent from Play.

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 12,743 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
