Geofinder - Find my friends 4+

I love this app because I can keep up with my family while they are away or on the go. It tells me the speed of the car to make sure the teenagers are driving safe. It also has a “driving safe mode” and a “wreck detector mode” on the app when you upgrade which is also another good thing about the app it’s really cheap to upgrade and all the upgrades come with better features and more things you can see. This app alerts me when my husband arrives and leaves any place I mark on the map but without the upgrade it will only allow you to get alerts with 2 locations you have marked on the map with the upgrade you get the option to get alerts with more then one location which is a lot better. I don’t use the app to spy on my husband or kids I use it for their safety and to know they are okay when they leave our home. I highly recommend this app! I do have one downer about this app the locations of your peers do not work while their “save battery mode” is on or if they don’t have service or WiFi and if their phone needs to be charged once the battery gets to low then it want work as well but it will alert you to remind them to charge their phone. You can also message them on the app and react like “love” or “thumbs down” on their location. One more thing that I love is it also tells you their route and the locations they have been the whole week. I hope everyone enjoys the app like my family does!

THANK YOU Geofinder!!

We decided to get this app 6 years ago when our oldest started driving for additional security and peace of mind. We are not the track your kids every movement type of people. Kids or should I say adults, now 22 & 19 still have app. Fast forward to long drives to and from college and different safety features.

But, the reason I’m writing this review is that 2 years ago, 10 miles from home on the end of an 8 hour drive home from college, our son was in a horrific accident. His rear corner bumper was hit causing him to hit the side of the road which spiraled into him flipping 5 times at 70 mph during rush hour on a busy TX highway. Luckily he walked away BUT Geofinder ACTIVATED AND CALLED 911. EMERGENCY CREWS WERE ON SCENE IMMEDIATELY!! Geofinder works and performed the features we are using it for. I can’t recommended this app enough. I do know college families that have Geofinder for this purpose only and kids turn it off and on. Honestly my boys never complain and have also called me to say “I’m lost. Find me and tell me where to go”. And for the record, I have normal college kids admittedly out to all hours of the night.

Everyone worries, it’s a natural ‘thing’. Geofinder brings some peace of mind. I originally installed it for my own tracking and invited my daughter and closest friend. I was working long hours, using mass transit, and tired. In general I was worried that I might not always make the best decision and/or get caught up in some sort of chaos in NYC. Knowing that someone could track me, at least know where my phone was gave me a little more sense of security.
I won’t lie... I did watch after my daughter. She was in college in NY and living the life of a young person. Like I didn’t know what a college student does and what hours of the day!!!... please, of course. But, Geofinder did not jeopardize our trust because neither of us abused the privilege it provided and the additional safety we felt. Not everyone will, can or should have the boundaries I have with my oldest daughter. As with everything and with all technology... it is what you make of it and how it is used. For me, I really like Geofinder.
