Ratings and reviews

You have to pay 19.99 a month. Ugh, say, why not let people try it for free WITHOUT ASKING FOR A CREDIT CARD to see if the app works for them. I thought the 14.99 was reasonable. Then it jumped to 19.99 after viewing a short display of what the app can do, a teaser really. And an offer, 3 day trial for .99 cents. Some people can't even afford food now a days. 19.99 is too much for me. 14.99 was pushing it, but maybe it's worth it. I can't say becuz there is AGAIN: NO FREE TRIAL.

As someone who has used this app for 10 years, the fact that I'm being asked to now pay a ridiculous $11.99 A WEEK for the simple GPS location that was once free is ridiculous. Multiple other apps offer this for free and have much lower MONTHLY premiums. I simply want to make sure my family gets to work and home safely, I don't need or want the extra features. Very disappointed with how much this app has changed and I no longer receive location updates as I won't pay for the "premium" features.

Used to love this app, despite not being able to remove people from groups and various intermittent failures to track anything. Now, with the nonstop notification of absolutely nothing except that the app is updating itself, it's days are numbered. Fix this, devs, or your app is now utter trash, we'll replace with any number of less obtrusive alternatives and not look back.
