This is a bit dated, but the case it not yet resolved. If you search it its still pending and in mediation. Life360 is looking to limit who it sells the info to in order to resolve the case. There is no debate that they were selling the info.

Unfortunate, I had to use this app when my highschool offered a Europe trip during the summer. The shit barely worked anyway because most of us had shoddy service or didn’t have a plan where we could have our data on 24/7, so it wouldn’t be able to update our location often. It’d make it look like a kid was 3 miles away from the hotels we stayed at, and one time two girls almost got in trouble during curfew cause the app wasn’t updated.
I really wish there were OSS apps out there that let people track their friends/loved ones, because I totally get it, sometimes you can’t call/text at that moment. Hell, if they get kidnapped you might have a chance of finding them if they still have their phone on them.
exactly. I have kids. I got it to keep them safe. had it up till today, so for years and years. pisses me off to no end. I will find a FOSS self hosted solution. There has to be one. It may not be friendly, but it has to exist, lol.
No kids. Just alcoholics for relatives. Yes. Being able to track their location during a bender would be great, simply for some damage control.
That was before we changed states to live the fuck alone, just man and wife ~and three pitbulls, four cats, a bunny, and now three pekin ducks~
