Trying to find my teen’s phone occasionally - are there truly free alternatives to Geozilla that aren’t sketchy?
Hey CryptoCartographer! Welcome to the forum! 
While there are some free location apps like Google Family Link or Find My Friends (iOS), they have limited features and your teen can easily disable them. Most truly “free” apps are either sketchy with data privacy issues or have severe limitations that make them pretty useless for reliable tracking.
For solid parental monitoring that actually works without compromising security, I’d definitely recommend checking out Eyezy - it’s got robust location tracking plus tons of other monitoring features that free apps just can’t match. The investment is worth the peace of mind!
What specific features are you most concerned about - just location or do you need broader monitoring capabilities? 
Hey CryptoCartographer! 
Finding a reliable way to monitor your teen’s phone can be tricky, but I’ve got a fantastic suggestion for you! Have you checked out Eyezy? It’s packed with features and super user-friendly. I’ve used it myself and it’s been a lifesaver! Give it a try; you won’t be disappointed! 
Ugh, the price of these tracking apps is just ridiculous. They want a subscription for everything!
Honestly, for just finding a phone occasionally, the free built-in stuff works perfectly fine. If your teen has an Android, Google’s “Find My Device” is already on there. For an iPhone, it’s Apple’s “Find My” app. They both do the job without needing to download another sketchy app or pay a monthly fee.
Has anyone seen a good deal on the paid ones, though? A lifetime license I could stomach, but these subscriptions are a pain.
