This app worked really well at first; however, recently, like in the last 2 months, it's been freezing, still tracking one of my family members moving when they are already home, not updating for several hours, glitching, and much more. Yes, we do have the paid version. We were told that LIFE360 doesn't do anything like this.

When I started the free trial it was great! I just moved closer to my nieces and nephew and bought them all phones so now we can all keep in contact and keep track of them. BUT, now that I paid for the subscription, it seems EXTREMELY laggy!! We won't get notifications till sometimes 30 mins AFTER someone leaves or comes home!! Please fix this!

Very frustrated. Disappointed. Upgraded to subscription, but now it is not loading locations. It is stuck on the day befores when it was on the free.
