So far so good. The new update is a little different but I like this. Gives notifications when arriving and leaving home. Only thing I don't like is they can still receive texts and text back numbers that have been "blocked". It only blocks calls, doesn't block number completely. It would be perfect if this was fixed
Notifications FAIL Fails to notify me when children leave safe areas OR notifies up to 30 mintes AFTER the fact. GPS has been updated, app removed and reinstalled, all permissions granted, settings checked... The free trial worked much better. I started paying, had to start the app completely over and it is now trash.
I cannot find a way to unsubscribe, cancel or do away with this app. It's a great app for the overbearing, insecure, gotta know everything about my person's movements, and all around in general tracker for whoever you feel the need to watch. I'm good on apps like these. Please cancel delete or whatever you gotta do to get me and mine off, away, and not be charged for this app. Please and thank you.
This is so stupid. I just bought this phone at Walmart and I tried to use this service just in case my phone was ever lost of stolen. But I put my phone number in the app and it told me this service is only for existing boost phone numbers. ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT IS THIS IS AN EXISTING WORKING BOOST NUMBER!!!! WHY WOULD IT SAY THAT IT WASNT AN EXISTING BOOST NUMBER THAYA CRAZY!!! 1 STAR AND I ONLY HIVE IT A 1 STAR BECAUSE THERE IS NO 0!!!!
So i have had this app for awhile. At first it worked great you could lock another phone if you couldnt find it. Now you cant. Also for some reason my kid has learned how to turn it off so we cant find him. You would think only the parent could turn app on and off. Makes it very frustrating when they turn it off and you cant find him.
I switched from another app to this one, trying out the 14 day free trial. 2 days away from having to pay for it for a month and it started tweaking. All night it's been going off telling me my kids have been leaving and coming home waking me up every 30 minutes when they have been asleep in their beds. Now I'm wondering if I really want it or not.
I'm trying to initiate the app. It asks for a phone number. When I provide mine, It tells me this is an exclusive for Boost Mobile - please enter a valid Boost phone number. I've been with Boost Mobile for more than a decade; I assure that I have a valid Boost Mobile number! It asks for an email address in lieu of a phone number. I enter my valid email address; also over a decade in continuous use. It tells me that I must use a valid email address! What a piece of garbage but!!!
Would give a 0 star with how retarded the app is. I've been with boost for year's and changed my number once. And I use my number, and it says that this is a boost mobile exclusive app... I WAS GIVEN MY NUMBER BY BOOST. But cute little icon
It's slow behind and lags often inaccurate I still had to call my child to make sure where she was because the app was only right half the time.
I've had safe and sound for years. They switched to this and it doesn't work at all. Says must have a boost phone etc. All my phones are sprint phones.
I've been using Boost for years, and this app won't even accept my phone number to get started! I keep getting an error saying "This is an exclusive app for Boost customers. Please try again with a valid Boost number." Trash app. 1 star is too generous.
Not working is anybody else having trouble with there app mine is not showing on map so I reinstalled app and still nothing and I've called boost and got no where don't bother buying the boost tracker it's not worth it I uninstalled this app and paid for 3 month worth of service for nothing and I now have a great little box key chain to show for my 3 months of service
This app truly is for the whole family, great that I can use across different devices and even on ones that are wi-fi only. I'm recommending it to all my friends.
It like works like 80% of the time, the other 20% is when the apps gps takes your icon like miles away from your actual position. This app will cause drama in your family. So if you don't want that, don't install this app.
I lock certain apps on my kids phones during the night time hours (10pm-7am). It used to work just fine and would only lock the apps during this time every night. But now it locks it throughout the day... Outside of the night hours that is selected.
I use a lot of the features, but I have found it really helpful that you can filter unwanted content on the web browsers, including which browsers can be used.
One of the best apps I have ever used. I pay 22$ for the life 360 which is to high since this one is only 7$ I love it less options but over all it get the job done and I love it.... love you boost mobile.
It looks like a terrible app. There are other apps that can be downloaded & installed for free that have most of the same features...And best of all if I have any issues with them later on, they will be easy to uninstall & erase if there are any remaining traces still floating around...
