***SUPPORT NOTICE**** 
We do help everyone who contacts us via our [email protected] email address, but unfortunately most users give bad ratings without ever contacting us for support. Please do contact us if you have any issues, we're always there to help! 
*************** 

Family Tracker allows you to track your wife, husband, children and fiancée. You can now find out where they are, at anytime, as long as they have their phones with them. Family Tracker is available for other platforms as well, so you can track (and be tracked by) other devices as well - check our website for more details. 

Please note that starting with the new iOS4 and supported hardware, Family Tracker runs in the background at all times, and, unlike previous versions of Family Tracker, user intervention is **NOT** needed for you to track them. Family Tracker runs at all times, continuously updating the GPS location of the device. Even if the iPhone is rebooted, Family Tracker will automatically resume tracking and updating its position! 

So how does this work? 

Simple. Install Family Tracker on the iPhone/iPad you want to track. From then on, you can use either a web browser or via the Family Tracker app itself installed on your own iPhone/iPad to locate your family member. 

If the device you wish to track does not support multitasking (for example, older iPhones 3G, iPads), you can still use Family Tracker to locate the family member. Using the web or your own iPhone, you will be able to "ping" the other iPhone. This is done by sending the other iPhone a (free) “Apple Push Notification” which will cause an alert to sound on your family member’s iPhone, even if the phone in is stand-by, just as would happen if the iPhone receives an SMS. As soon as this alert is acknowledged, their GPS position will be recorded, and their location will be updated on a map. If you are using an iPhone yourself to track them, you will be sent a Push Notification to inform you that the family member has accepted your "ping". These notifications will be automatically re-sent every 60 seconds until they are acknowledged. If the recipient is trying to ignore them or does not hear them, this repetition will help acknowledging them. 

Family Tracker does not need to know your iPhone cell number to function, as it does not send SMS messages for notifications. Your email address is instead used to send free Apple Push Notifications to the iPhones being tracked. These notifications are free, specific to our Family Tracker application, and work anywhere in the world as long as the iPhone and/or iTouch being tracked has internet access via the cellular network or WiFi. 

Notice: ***Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.*** For this reason, we strongly recommend users to configure Family Tracker to use the "Driving Only" accuracy in the GPS setting. This special mode updates the GPS location only when a significant location change occurs, which results in a tremendous gain in battery life.

Additional pro features, such as the ability to see the past locations for the previous 2 weeks, and the ability to set geofences so you are alerted when users that you track enter or leave certain areas are available via an optional iTunes subscription.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Your iTunes account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions are available for either $2.99/month, or $8.99/3 months, or $15.99/6 months or $29.99/year. Privacy policy & terms of use: http://logsat.com/family-tracker-privacy.asp

A+++++

Love the app. I can track the kid’s Androids whenever I want with the stealthy pings - the phone’s position is updated within 30 seconds whenever I want. Tracking my wife’s iPhone is a bit less reliable as the stealthy pings (the developers told me they’re silent push notifications) are not as reliable on iOS as on Androids, but nevertheless I can usually force the updates on her phone as well most of the times. Again, great app!

Thank you for the new geofencing feature!

Great support guys! I had asked in the past for notifications if the kids left the house, and I see you now support geofencing. AWESOME! Thanks for the good work! Keep the updates coming!!

Keep the updates coming :-)

I love this app. Our daughter likes it a bit less... but for us it's now almost indispensable :-) Whenever we need to know were she is, we can do so without ever needing to call her (and possibly listening to her lies...!). Not to mention that I travel a lot and my wife feels much better to know where I am at all times. I can't comment about tech support as I've never had the need to contact them - everything has always worked very very nicely. Thanks for the geofencing!!!

Pretty Cool

Read about the app on Google the other day being used to track a missing child. Told my wife, and she immediately installed it on all our phones. I was skeptical at first, but I went from 6-7 calls a day from her to see where I was and if I was fine, to just one at night when I stop to rest (I drive and travel a lot). She uses the app to see where I am, and if I'm moving I'm obviously OK :-)

not as efficient as a phone call

this app seemed promising but in order for me to get an updated position I send a ping or I tell it to force an update and then the message tells me that I will be notified when the user on the other end accepts my request to update their position. so in other words it requires interaction from the person on the other end to update. I may as well just try to call them on the cell phone and ask them where they are. I liked the alert siren, but that only worked once. UPDATE: pings no longer work at all, the phone being tracked displays no alerts and makes no sounds. I followed troubleshooting instructions, checking settings, even to the extent of removing and reinstalling the application, still isn't working properly. going to uninstall and buy something else

You have to pay $5.99 for each phone you want to track. Rip off.
