About this app

Family GPS Locator lets you stay connected with the people who matter most. Familo is a find my phone app that you can use with your family and kids.
Locate your family members on the map at any time. Just connect your family members within Familo and keep them safe for 360 degrees in real time.

Familo offers many features in one app:

- Get notified when family members arrive or leave
- Use the Panic button for emergency location sharing
- Communicate in a private family chat
- All Familo Family Locator features are easy to use for both kids and parents.
- Each family member decides who can see their location

Important: Please note, location-sharing is opt-in only. Familo requires consent from all family members to be linked.

The Familo 'Find My Phone' locator requires the following optional permissions:
• Location services to enable real-time location sharing, SOS alerts, and place alerts even when the app is closed or not in use
• Notifications, to inform you of your family's location changes
• Contacts, to find family members by mobile phone number and invite them to join your family circle.
• Photos and Camera, to change your profile picture

Get a 360 degree view of your family's safety with Familo GPS Locator

You choose when and for how long you want to share your live location with your family. To be sure your kids are safe, Familo will send you automatic notifications when kids arrive at and leave their daily places

Every kid in your family circle can use the panic button, which will send their current location to parents so that help can be offered quickly.

The check-in feature in Familo allows you to share your live location with your family. Moreover, with the built-in chat, you will have the opportunity to communicate and securely share images with your family members.

To function properly the Familo also needs access to:
- Microphone to send voice messages and communicate with your family
- Background refresh to update your location even when the app is not open
- Mobile data to send messages, photos, and your location to family members

Familo Family Locator has been exclusively designed for parental and family monitoring. We welcome your ideas for improvement. Simply use the “Send Feedback” button in the app menu or send us an Email: support@familo.net

A wonderful app, most of the time. I went through an annoying period where Familo would refuse to work if I didn't have my wireless turned on. If I'm working too far from a router it does nothing but drain my battery (and my battery life is already too short). Also, I now get constant notices telling me to turn off battery optimization for my phone. My phone claims that it's turned off. However, this program has literally been a life-saver. This really is a wonderful app. Thank you so much!

Lieber Robert, vielen Dank für die gute Bewertung und deine netten Worte! WLAN ist für eine stromsparende Lokalisierung notwendig. Viel Spaß weiterhin mit Familonet! LG

As someone who has used this app for 10 years, the fact that I'm being asked to now pay a ridiculous $11.99 A WEEK for the simple GPS location that was once free is ridiculous. Multiple other apps offer this for free and have much lower MONTHLY premiums. I simply want to make sure my family gets to work and home safely, I don't need or want the extra features. Very disappointed with how much this app has changed and I no longer receive location updates as I won't pay for the "premium" features.

One of the best apps the play store. Life360 and the synic one always have issues. This one is simple and seamless to setup. only need your number. One question for the developer though, I saw a premium subscription popup.How do i pull that thing back up again? Update: Email login is now the only method to log in and my phone number account is lost with all my settings. I messaged support and no reply back. Kind of disappointed. Update 2: they fixed it and now I can see all my old settings
