Life360 – adding peace of mind to everyday family managing!

With every October comes Halloween and trick or treating. It sounds all fun and exciting, however as a parent it can become stressful and scary. With so many kids running around in costumes in crowded locations, trick or treating can quickly become a parents worse fear – losing your child! Life360 was developed to calm those fears. It is a location, communication and coordination service for families. Reducing friction and offering peace of mind to make family life easier, so families can focus on what matters most. It can be a great tool for staying in touch with your trick or treaters, whether it’s with the parent who is out with younger kids, or if your kids are older and go out on their own with no parents, you can keep track of your little monsters.

How can Life360 help? They are the world’s largest network for families, with over 43 million families using the app around the world. Life360 is building a utility-focused network for the family that is centered on location sharing and making it easier for families to communicate and stay connected regardless of how busy they become. With Life360 you can more easily manage your day to day activities within your family. Keeping track of everyone and all of there activities can become difficult and tedious. With Life360 whether it’s making dinner plans, coordinating carpools, or just ensuring everyone arrived home safe, Life360 gives families simplified communication and peace of mind right at their fingertips.

Life360 works by using smartphones and other wearable devices to reduce the friction or anxiety that comes with being a parent,  “Where are you?” “When will you be home?” The location sharing and in-app messaging technology helps reduce and simplify the number of these often frustrating messages by preemptively providing alerts to Circle members (family and closest friends) when users arrive at or leave certain locations. With Life360, simply open the app and instantly see everyone in your private Circle on the map. Users can also message the whole group at once or on a 1:1 basis.

Location will play a key role in automating critical events in and around the smart home. Imagine setting a rule that every time the last member of the family leaves the house, the lights turn off, the thermostat turns down, the alarm arms and the doors lock. The connected car offers similar benefits. By simply pushing a button in dash, the car automatically navigates you to the important people in your life. No more plugging in directions or scrolling through email to find the correct address. Likewise, you can set triggers that allow certain individuals outside of the immediate family access to your home at specific times of day – think nanny or dog walker.

So take the fear away from your trick or treating extravaganzas this year and give your family a little added peace of mind! With Life360 you can more easily communicate without pesky phone calls or texts and removes the friction of calling to check in.  Parents can now manage your family with peace of mind without feeling overbearing with this easy to use Life360 app.
