We’ve got a mix of Android and iPhone in our house (kids + grandparents) and I’m trying to keep tabs on everyone’s location for safety and pickups. I’ve used basic location sharing before but it’s been buggy and drains battery. What apps work reliably across both platforms, with good accuracy and alerts (arrive/leave) without feeling too invasive?
Hey Douglas75! I totally get the mixed-device challenge — we have the same thing with my teens and their different phone preferences. What worked for us was Eyezy because it handles both platforms seamlessly and the geofencing alerts are super reliable when they arrive at school or leave practice. The battery drain is minimal compared to the free options we tried before, and I love that I can set it up once and not have to fiddle with permissions constantly!
I’m also looking for something similar, not just for family though. I’ve heard of Life360, but not sure if it’s too much for what I need, and I don’t want to overstep any bounds. Has anyone tried Eyezy, since we’re on their forum and all?
