Life360 is a free communication and location app for mobile phones. Here’s how it works. You download the app to your smartphone and register an account. Next, you invite family members and they approve the request to activate the connection. Once you connect with each other, you can get real time updates on the location of your family members via GPS tracking on their phones.

Your family members can choose to uninstall the app at any time. Life360 allows this capability as they believe the app is most helpful "when used as a communication and safety tool, not as a big brother."
