Very disappointing. I asked my friend to tell me where I was at the moment. She sent me a map that showed my location half an hour ago, in another part of the city. Next day, the app told me out of the blue I had stopped following my friend, even though I had done nothing of the sort. And most annoyingly, there's a large bubble with unnecessary information splat in the middle of the map, making it extremely difficult to see where the person is located. I uninstalled this app on the 2nd day.
Reviews for Find My Friends: Share & Track
← Back to Find My Friends: Share & TrackThis app gives me peace of mind for the kids safety, and helps me plan timing for things so much better. Definitely comes in handy..daily.
half the time does not pick people up on map have keep refreshing
Very easy to use and helpful!
works most of the time - sometimes it's a few hours behind
excellent location service with minimal ad interruptions
Unless you want this app on at all times draining battery skip it. You can't have it on location while using app it demands to be on all of the time or it won't work and if you disable it it will turn itself back on or spam you with messages. Also you need to sit through about 3 ads each time you open the app and more if you try to change any settings.
sometimes I go to check my child's location if I'm waiting on him returning home and say I check at 4pm it shows me when he was last online at 11.20, not helpful when your worried why they are late home.
It went from 5☆ to 3 since the update ,it no longer goes to location,it just bounces back and fourth, after latest updateI got this app after my husband had a near fatal accident,and my parents got it also after medical emergencies , but now if I want to know location,its an hour and 20 minutes behind on average,it worked better before update,I have a strong wifi ,its xfinity and 5 feet from my chair ,and GPS location is always on all of ours
I am very visually impaired virtually blind and use the TalkBack screen reader however this app is not screen reader compatible I've tried it and I cannot get it to read most if not all of the buttons or anything else on this app if you are blind or visually impaired I do not recommend this app
It's a really nice app, the only thing is that it's really hard to update your status. You have to go to menu, click on settings, click on your email, and then you can finally update it. It'd be really nice if Find my Friends made an easier way to change it.
it was working fine but for some reason it is not updating my brother current location I know it is online but it is showing his old location but he is at different location for some reason it is working for me I can see my location he and I are both online but it is not showing his current location.
Useless app. it requires internet all the time. what is the use of it can't detect by direct gps detection and send the messages or signal. waste app
0 stars at least before the recent update if you pressed the person/s face/s twice it auto zoomed as well as tracked now it only puts you on the person from a distance and doesn't auto zoom and definitely doesn't track it stays head user of the application.
Pretty damn good for early onset dementia patients like my mum unfortunately. As she wonders off unpredictablly and aimlessly. It's free and it's better than some paid subscription services like CPR Guardian 👀 which are more expensive and apparently not so good. Or even true real time tracking!
Unreliable. It doesn't update frequently enough to be useful, unless you want to know where someone in your family was yesterday. Update: Still unreliable. I guarantee you my kids' phones don't go into "doze mode" except over night, which isn't when I experience the problem. Updated 9/22... still unreliable but it doesn't suck the life out of my battery the way Life360 does. None of the suggestions for unreliability mentioned by the producer are applicable. I'm looking for a replacement.
half the time it doesn't pick up the location when they aren't near a major city! it freezes and doesn't load for a long time over an hour. Even when in the car with 5g running.
used to be decent, now just updates location randomly and sometimes goes hours without loading or even opening the app no matter the gps or wifi available, the app gets worse by the week, to the point it wont even work for hours and hours at a time not live tracking
I switched from apple to android 6-9 months ago. An accurate tracking app, in real time was important for my wife and I. We tried several other apps (not efficient). I find the app to be efficient and accurate, with an automatic refresh every 30 seconds. Easy setup.
😡😡😡 The free version worked great, keeping up with movements. So great, I figured it was worth upgrading to premium for all the extras that would supposedly include. Now that I've paid for annual premium service for two accounts, this app has stopped performing altogether, outside of showing our two phones at home, even when they're not. I'm curious to know if they're going to refund my hard earned money or feed me a line of BS.
