User Reviews
As a parent of two teen drivers, Life360 gives me incredible peace of mind. The driving reports showed me my son was texting while driving — we had an important conversation about it. The crash detection feature alone justifies the subscription.
My daughter is at college in another state and Life360 keeps us connected. I don't obsess over her location, but knowing I can check if she made it home safely from a late study session helps me sleep better.
