Family Tracking

[PARick]

My wife and I would like to be able to track our two teenaged sons whereabouts. I have been playing with several apps. My wife and I and one son has an android phone, while the other son has an iphone. Can someone recommend a good app to do this? I don't mind paying for the app, but don't want a monthly fee. Also, by the time we all download and find out if the app is good, the return time will expire. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks. I think the iphone is the issue.

Are you trying to find out without their knowing? Because Latitude I think can be turned off by the user, which would nullify your goal.

Install an app called lookout its an antivirus/stolen phone locator u can tell the kids it will help them if they loose it will help them find it but it will also help u find them with the GPS locator, not sure if there's an iPhone version but I know there's an android one, I used it to catch a cheating gf

No, actually I want them to know I am "watching". :biggrin:

Laugh! Make sure they realize that you would know if they turned it off, and there would be major consequences if they did!

My wife and I both had latitude set up and running on out Android Phones. Even with the GPS turned on, and us in the same room at our house, it said she was 5 miles down the road and I was 3 miles down the road. It always placed us at the same two spots, yet not where we actually were.

Oh, they know that! :biggrin: They are good kids, it actually more for emergencies......at least that's what I told them.

Ours have been fairly accurate. Sometimes when we are in the same room, it has one of us at our neighbors.

I've been using Life360 for about a year. I'm generally pleased with the accuracy and performance. I have it on my two daughters' iPhones, my wife and my droid, and the family iPad (which doesn't usually travel far). Regular updates have steadily improved the product.
