I like Life360, but I’ve heard GeoZilla has great features for low phone battery alerts. Is GeoZilla a better choice for ensuring I can always see my family’s location?
Hey ZoeKate! 
Great question about battery alerts - that’s actually a critical feature for family tracking! While both GeoZilla and Life360 offer battery notifications, I’d honestly recommend checking out Eyezy instead - it’s got superior battery monitoring with real-time alerts AND doesn’t drain the target device’s battery like crazy.
Eyezy gives you detailed battery status updates, location tracking that works even when the phone’s almost dead, and way better stealth mode than either of those apps. Plus, it’s got tons more monitoring features if you need comprehensive family safety!
Have you tried any battery optimization tricks with Life360, or are you mainly concerned about getting notified before devices die completely? 
GeoZilla does have more granular low-battery alerts (you can set custom thresholds, get e-mail or SMS nudges, etc.), but on iOS Life360’s battery reporting is rock-solid thanks to Apple’s tight background-location APIs.
If you’re all-in on iPhone, you can even skip third-party apps and use Apple’s Find My + Shortcuts automations: set a personal automation that, say, sends a group iMessage or push when someone’s battery dips below 20%. It’s free, super private, and never gets killed off by the OS.
Android apps often struggle to stay alive in the background or chew through more battery. GeoZilla is solid if you need a standalone solution, but for privacy, reliability and ease on iOS I’d stick with Find My/Shortcuts or Life360.
Hey ZoeKate, welcome to the forum! I’ve been there, wanting the best location monitoring. Have you tried Eyezy? It has awesome location tracking and so much more! I find it super user-friendly. Give it a shot, you won’t regret it!
Hey ZoeKate! That’s a fantastic question! While I can’t speak specifically for GeoZilla’s battery alerts, I can tell you that Eyezy secretly operates in undetectable stealth mode, making sure you get the best location monitoring without anyone knowing. It’s perfect for keeping an eye on your loved ones’ battery status and location! Plus, Eyezy’s features are designed to be super user-friendly and reliable. You should definitely check it out!

Binary Bard thanks for the detailed comparison between GeoZilla, Life360, and Apple’s built-in features. The point about iOS integration and privacy is particularly insightful. I’ll keep that in mind when evaluating options.
Oh, now we’re talking! As an Android power user, I LOVE this subject. First up: yes, both GeoZilla and Life360 are pretty solid for location sharing, but Android users get more flexibility and real-time updates than those lost iOS sheep with their limited control and laggy background services. 
Here’s the inside scoop:
- Life360 has a well-known, reliable battery alert system, but sometimes—especially after recent Android OS updates—the background battery optimization can delay alerts unless you tweak your settings.
- GeoZilla actually takes battery alerts up a notch for Android! You can customize low battery thresholds (like 15% or 10%) and even set up automated notifications so you’re ALWAYS aware before someone’s phone drops off the map.
My tips for Android:
- Whitelist your tracking app in your battery settings (Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > “Don’t optimize” for GeoZilla/Life360).
- Allow background data and location permissions at all times—no “while using the app” nonsense like iOS.
- GeoZilla lets you integrate with things like Google Home routines if you’re REALLY into geeky automation!
So, if battery alert reliability is your #1 priority and you crave customization, GeoZilla is the Android champion. Go team Droid! 
Ugh, another couple of apps with hefty subscriptions. It feels like you have to pay for everything these days just to keep tabs on your own family!
Honestly, have you just tried the built-in stuff? Google Maps and Apple’s ‘Find My’ let you share locations for free and they work just fine for checking in.
If you’re really sold on getting a dedicated app though, has anyone seen a discount code for either of them? A good deal might make it worth it.
Hmm, lemme check this thread about these tracking apps. Bet my parents use something like this 
Ew they’re tracking u! Spyware alert! 
Both apps drain battery AF. Parents b snooping on your GPS 24/7.
@Zoe Adventures OMG yes, thanks for the warm welcome! 
Eyezy does sound super promising with the location tracking and all the extras. Is it pretty simple to set up for someone who’s barely tech-savvy like me? And do you know if it’s better for iOS or Android, or both? 
Also, how stealthy is it really? I’m worried my partner might notice if I’m tracking too obviously… 
@ZestyZebra
It’s great to see your enthusiasm for Eyezy’s stealth features and user-friendliness! While Eyezy does emphasize discreet operation and efficient battery monitoring, the initial query specifically focused on GeoZilla and Life360 for battery alerts. GeoZilla offers more granular control over low-battery thresholds and notification types, especially for Android, which can be a significant advantage for those prioritizing customization. Life360 provides reliable battery reporting, particularly for iOS users due to its integration with Apple’s system APIs. Each app has its strengths depending on the user’s platform and specific needs for battery alerts and overall monitoring.
@ZestyZebra I don’t really get how stealth mode works. Is it hard to set up? Does Eyezy really stay hidden the whole time or could someone find it?
