The seller of the app is the world’s leading real-time, location, sharing app and is also the best way to coordinate with family and friends. Now what the app does is show the actual location of friends or family members on a map.

What the app also can do is share photos and text messages which is on a secured private chat. You can also see past history of where you have been in the circle.

It can also help you if you ever lose your phone or if it has been stolen.
On the website it has someone talking about how they feel about the app and the women who is Miranda Carter says, “I have two new drivers. I feel more at ease when I can see info about their trips…. Being able to not only know where your children are but also that they’re driving safely is something I can’t be thankful enough for”.
The app is very useful for family when their kids are out on the road so they know where they are and don’t have to worry about when they will be back the app does all of that for them. What it also does is detect if a car crash has happened. A second semester sophomore student Bryce Carter gave his thoughts about what he thinks about the app, “ It shows how much we can do with our phones, It would also feel like an invasion of privacy, but I can see the purpose of parents whose children should be in school or at home.”
This app is available on the apple store right now and has already been used by over sixty thousand people in the world to help keep people safe.
