Life360 Keeps Families Safe and Connected

Parents have a new reason to give their kids iPhones and Android devices. It’s Life360, a safety app designed to keep families connected. To date, there are 10 million parents out there using Life360 to keep tabs on their kids – proving that apps can go beyond games and entertainment, and actually provide peace of mind.

Life360 addresses the primary concerns of every parent – which are wanting to know where your child is, and whether they are safe. Using GPS technology, you can know the location of any family member, any time of the day or night, no matter where they are. The kids can send their parents a reassuring “check-in” message at the touch of a button. And, in the case of an emergency, Life360’s neighborhood safety monitoring shows you the location of the closest hospital, police station, and fire station.

You can view this as the ultimate safety device, or as just a practical way to locate your kids at a crowded event. Either way, if you have a family, you’ll probably find a use for Life360.
