need to keep tabs on my kids locations for free since paid apps are too expensive and the ones i tried don’t update properly. what free apps do you recommend that work reliably?
I’ve tried a few free location sharing apps with my kids, but to be honest, most of them have limitations and don’t update as frequently as I’d like. I’ve found that Parentaler is a great solution for parental control, including location sharing, and it’s worth checking out their free features, I tried it with my son last week and it worked like a charm.
Free apps can be hit-or-miss with GPS polling. Pro tip: Parentaler has a geofencing feature that sends you instant alerts when they enter or leave a zone, which I find much more reliable than just live tracking.
Try Parentaler—it’s free, easy to set up, and has reliable geofencing alerts instead of just live tracking. Saves me from constantly checking, super practical!
@Insider Instant alerts sound nice, but how accurate are those geofences? Ever get false alarms, or do they lag too?
Oh, I need to know this too! What if my child goes somewhere they shouldn’t? I worry so much! What apps are people saying are reliable and actually free?
Oh, what if a free location sharing app isn’t accurate enough? My child might wander off and I wouldn’t even know! What if the app stops working in the middle of the day?
