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.

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

This is the only app that works for my lifestyle, and has been working, up until the latest update... I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S8 and I keep getting the same "Just updating for the best experience" notification. I can't seem to silence it without silencing my phone entirely, which is NOT an option (emergencies). It's waking me up at night and interrupting/getting me in trouble several times an hour, all day. What happened? Help!
