Like I said, we never had it. But it makes me feel better that someone can find her if something happens. She's working at a bar/restaurant as a hostess this summer and when she closes she walks out to the overflow parking by herself at about 1am. I tend not to sleep until I hear her come in.
Not really. Although you can set a geo fence and get notifications when people enter/leave.
Okay, let me rephrase. I don't hate it, it's annoying and that's because it's new and I haven't had a chance to mess with the notifications. Every time my wife leaves the house, I get constant notifications. Yesterday I'm sitting in line at the inspection station and I get a text. "Getting your Jeep inspected? I thought you had a busy work day [wink]" It's great for my 11 YO with a new iPhone.
And, ya, that's bizarre. No way I'd want that. I so wish our kids could have our childhood.
Yes. It creates driving reports that tracks speed, marks excessive excelleration, hard stops, and phone usage. It helped us keep our son from driving like an idiot because he knew we tracked it and he got his ass grounded for going 90 mph once.
I have a notification alert for when someone pulls in my driveway (Ring app) and my dogs do the same. Start barking and run to the door.
It’s too much. Constantly checking to see where someone is and saying it’s for “safety” is an overreach. My goal as a parent is to build a trusting relationship with my kids, and being a watchdog is no way to do that.
Or @alaskanseminole ‘s example of getting a text from his wife while getting the Jeep inspected. Can a person just have some privacy and NOT have to announce every move they plan on making?
We have an Apple ecosystem. My daughter just started driving. I have alerts for when she leaves/arrives at home or work.
Exactly! I told her we needed to figure this darn app out come Christmas shopping season. I don't need to know she's in the Craftsmans tool dept and she doesn't need to know I'm in Bath and Body works.
Without the 360 App? My whole family, as you know, is iOS except for me. I'll probably wind up switching, but not yet.
Without the 360 app yes. It’s in the “find my” app.
There's those that constantly check then there are those like my wife that just can't go to sleep without at least knowing they're safe. She checks it before bed if they're out and about, that's about it. We have open trusting relationships with our kids and don't micro manage them, never have.
