About this app

Digital Family Lifestyle™ Solutions for the Entire Family
------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to digital family safety, SafePath® delivers the best of both worlds – industry-leading location services and best-in-class parental controls – in a unified white-label solution built specifically for mobile carriers.

SafePath’s Digital Family Lifestyle™ solution empowers subscribers to locate and share their whereabouts with family members, control and manage digital content across all connected devices, and monitor the driving behaviors and safety of drivers in their family.

Location Services
------------------------------------------------------------
• Locate children in real time as they move to different locations.
• Create virtual fences around areas you designate and receive automatic notifications
when a child enters or leaves the area.
• Safeguard children by knowing where they’ve been and how they got there.

Optimized Parental Controls
------------------------------------------------------------
• Protect children from inappropriate digital content by setting online content filters that
match each child’s age and interests.
• Proactively manage the time children spend on their phone and restrict app-specific or
total device usage.
• Celebrate good behavior by giving your children extra online time.

Drive Detection
------------------------------------------------------------
• Gain insight into specific trips with route details, miles logged, top speed, driving
behavior, and the location of any risky driving events.
• Receive automatic notifications with location information and the option to dispatch
emergency services if a family member has been involved in an accident.
• Add an element of competition while encouraging safer driving with personal driver
scores for each family member.

Business Benefits
------------------------------------------------------------
By implementing SafePath, wireless carriers and mobile service providers will benefit from:
• Increased ARPU – Maximize the lifetime value of each mobile user on your network.
• Reduced Subscriber Churn – Increase subscriber “stickiness” with in-demand value-added services.
• Service Differentiation – Mobile apps based on SafePath will be backed by the most
comprehensive family safety platform on the market.
Solution Benefits
------------------------------------------------------------
• Cross-Platform Support
• Unified UX with easy-to-use, comprehensive feature set
• Profile-Based Management. One app, two profiles - Adult and Child
• Feature parity across both Android and iOS
• Scale quickly with a cloud platform based on open standards
• White-labeled solution that can be customized and branded in any way
• Telco Grade APIs for authentication, billing, provisioning, and customer care

Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
• SafePath uses the Device Administrator permission to enable phone security features like remote lock and wipe when a phone has been lost or stolen. The same permission is also used in case parents want to be alerted whenever kids try to evade the parental controls set on their phone.
• SafePath uses Google Accessibility Services API to enable parents to set up parental controls on their children’s phones to protect them from unwanted or dangerous content. No information is processed or collected using this API except for the purpose of blocking the content defined by the user.
* SafePath uses the VpnService API to enforce parental controls restrictions on child devices.

Ratings and reviews

Everything this application says it does, it doesn't do. GPS location is way off, shows my house down the street, even though I provided precise location. No ability for sos messages. No voice activation, no real time streaming video or audio.

Easy to use, fun to use for the entire family. Can't live without this application. Keep track when family is entering a safe zone, like school, work place, favorite grocery store and/or grandparents is my daughter's favorite function of the app. Too many functions to bring up, so I chose the one we all love the most.

Decided to test this app out since I was interested in investing in the company. Like others have stated, you need an invite code to set up an account. I've checked both the website and online and couldn't find anywhere to get an invite code.This service is most likely vendored as proprietary through a cellular service provider.
