Find My Kids ~ Footprints™ App Reviews

Ive used this app for almost a year now. Ive got the parental controls set. I can tell if my child is speeding and if they are where they say they are. Ive set up geofence notifications and they work well too. The only thing I have noticed is sometimes the notifications are delayed a bit. All in all a great product!

not a good application. Doesnt update consistently. currently showing information for my child that is a week old. Yet my info is current. I have eve tried to uninstall and re install but still wont update my child.

You have to buy a subscription for each person. (I bought 2 years each for all 3 of us.) The app has never shown my son as leaving our home. Totally does not work. I have tried every tracking setting it has. Do not buy.

Not all friends are working and not real time. I would not pay for it unless it works during trial.

The vendor has no tech support - period. It does not refresh locations regularly. Even with the refresh setting at once a minute, sometimes it will lag behind 10, 20, or more minutes before refreshing location. We wanted to use it to keep track of our teen driver, but with refresh lags like this its pretty much useless. Dont waste your money on this app.

Why do I care where my kid was 5 hours ago?! I need to know where they are now!! Not accurate and does not update. Though it is able to tell me where I am all the time!

This app is great for tracking myself but get nothing but unauthorized permission, data and update errors to track any family members!!!

I should have trusted the other reviews!!! Do not buy, this APP is a rip-off. Just as stated by others, this APP works for a couple of days, then stops. I bought to keep track of my 10 year old daughter, and did fine for 3-4 days, but now has "locked" on her phones old location from 4 days ago. This is useless to me. Find My iPhone works much better and its very accurate as to where my daughters phone is when I check, it just doesnt provide tracking information, which is want I wanted. Move on to another APP, the developers of Footprints should go back to the old job.

And no customer support

I have to agree with others. Worked on the trial but problems after I purchased 2 years for 3 phones. Doesnt always work. I got it to make sure my daughters going to college are safe. Its hard to know where they are at when the app doesnt update from a day ago. Right now my app says one of them is at home when I know shes at work. Really!?

Barley works. Sometimes it doesnt update for over a day.

I got mine to work but tried to renew my sons and kept trying to activate. Always said expired and then i noticed my account was charged three times.

Dont waste your $. I thought it was great the first couple days- just what I needed to keep track of a sneaky teenager- until it stopped working intermittently. Its less reliable than the kid Im trying to keep track of. Glad I didnt pay for it!

It doesnt always work so Im a bit frustrated.

It took me quite a while to configure it and customer service didnt really help. But once I figured it out, I was able to add all my family and to my best knowledge its the best app that keeps track of their whereabouts out there. I get notifications when they leave or return home and from school. Its also pretty accurate and doesnt eat too much battery.

I love this app! It does everything I need it to track my childs whereabouts. The only thing I wish is that you could create a geofence by entering a specific address rather than having to navigate to the location via the map. That is very difficult. Please update.

I got this for my daughters phone. I like to know she arrived at school safely and when she is on her way home. It used to work really well but lately it tells me shes home like 10 minutes after she is home and not when shes on her way home.

The developer states very clearly on their website that this app pretty much stopped working with iOS 7. The app would not refresh my daughters location on her iPhone 6s with iOS 9. I wish the developer would remove the app from the store because it clearly does not work anymore.

Dont waste your money. I actually purchased for three phones on my account to track and it only worked on two and only for a short while. It tracked one phone perfectly for about a month and then it became sporadic and finally froze for weeks. I tried to reload it but I no longer have the access code or any way to recover it.

DO NOT BE STUPID LIKE ME and purchase this app. Once you pay for it, it stops working. I did this. Twice. Yes, I stupidly paid for it twice thinking it was some kind of fluke and surely it would work the 2nd time. and it doesnt work at all. Worked fine during the free trial period but like others have said, as soon as I purchased it the app stopped working.
