Description
Where are your kids? 
Where have they been? 

With Footprints, you can track your kids and share locations with family and friends, anytime, privately. It all happens automatically, whether your phone is in your hand or in your pocket. All in a beautifully clear and simple interface. 

Now, parents can keep track of their children's whereabouts and see where they have been, couples can know that their loved ones arrived safely at their destination, friends can locate each other, and even managers can keep track of employees in the field. 

Footprints tracks and shares locations automatically – in real time, all the time. And it does it privately. It's really different from other apps that simply show the current location or require some kind of manual operation to share locations.  

With Footprints, you can set up Geofences, like your kids school, and be notified when these fences are crossed. You can even activate movement sensors that will notify you each time your loved ones are on the move.

Features: 

- Tracks movement throughout the day and logs waypoints without user intervention.  

- Parental control feature allows for sharing locations at all times, without a disabling option. 

- Lets you share waypoints by granting specific permissions. For instance, you can share your last 50 waypoints with a friend for two days.  

- Geofence and movement notifications can alert you when someone moves or crosses a fenced area.  Speeding notifications can alert parents when their teenagers go over the speed limit.

- Designed to sync seamlessly between your iPhone and iPad.  

- Runs in the background – without draining your battery – by leveraging Apple's Significant Location Change technology, which monitors location changes as your device “sees” new cellular towers. (Footprints typically logs a waypoint when there is movement of 500 meters to 3 km or a quarter-mile to 2 miles, depending on cellular coverage in the area.) This default setting provides a good balance of timely location updates without draining the battery. 

- Initial free subscription period makes it easy to get started.

- Privacy Policy: Complete privacy is a key feature of Footprints. Your location data is only shared with the people you explicitly grant permission to see your location. Your registration information is never used to contact you, never sold to others, and never used for advertising. 

- Requirements: iOS 8.3 or later. (Footprints 1.6 supports iOS 4.3 and later).  Footprints must be installed on all devices tracking or sharing locations, and each device must have a valid subscription.

- Tracking Disclaimer: Devices without a GPS and cellular connection (iPad Wi-Fi, iPod touch) can only track and share waypoints when connected to a Wi-Fi network. 

- Battery Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Wish it worked consistently

Kept dropping “friends” and stating I didn’t have any. Bought three year subscriptions for me and two kids in January. One has started stating it has expired. Had to continuously allow location sharing even when set through the settings. While it worked, it had good functionality but now is just a waste of money.

Do not waste your time

It never works! The only person it tracks is me!! I paid for it for my family phones and no matter what I do it will only track me! Wasted my money!

Unresponsive after purchase-DO NOT BUY

Tracking was two days behind. Uninstalled, reinstalled, never received verification code to register app. Unresponsive to emails-still waiting and still can’t use app. Use to love this app and used it every day for years. What has happened?

Needs Search for the Geo Fence Feature

Giving it two more stars than it deserves only because it works, despite the inconveniences I mention below. I’ve not found it as hard to set up as others may describe, but am dismayed that when setting up a geofence you have to physically scroll the map and zoom in to the location you want. For some reason they have not provided a search function to allow you to pinpoint an exact address. Very inconvenient for when you are setting up a geofence in a location that is far away (I.e. across the country) and you don’t know enough about the location. I had to switch back and forth between the phone’s native map app and Footprints several times to pinpoint the locations for my long distance geofences. Also, when setting a geofence the map can only display in hybrid mode, even when you change the main screen’s map settings to just a plain old graphical map. This makes setting a the above mentioned long distance geofence even more cumbersome, as the map refresh rates are much slower. It would also be great if you could use a logged waypoint to set up a geofence. No can do. Lastly in the complaint department, tracking others won’t work unless you switch both location tracking and location sharing on for your own phone, even though you may not be giving others (I.e. your kids) permission to track you. What this tells me is Footprints is forcing you to track yourself and is likely using your location data for their own purposes.

Stopped working

Worked for about two days and then stopped. Tried some of the solutions mentioned but it won’t let me sign in or reregister. Website has not been updated since IOS 7.

Worthless

Don’t waste your money. This app quit working several months ago. I was told my subscription expired so I paid to renew and it still dies not work. I contacted support and it never got fixed. I am deleting from my phone.
