The stories of gratitude we receive on a daily basis keeps us working hard to constantly improve our app. We recently connected with one of our users, Valery H., who offered to share her experience with Life360’s roadside assistance.

Valery was first introduced to Life360 through her pastor, who had been using Life360’s Driver Protect features to keep his new teen driver safe on the road. Valery became immediately interested in the additional driving safety features because her husband’s car was not in top condition. However, it was Valery’s car that began making a funny noise almost exactly a year after signing up for Driver Protect. Read more »

How Life360 Became Candace’s Favorite Family App

Our users at Life360 often share stories of how they’re using the app – whether it’s about how they are staying connected with their families or have peace of mind from monitoring new teenage drivers. The stories of gratitude we receive on a daily basis keep us working hard to constantly improve our app. We recently connected with one of our users, Candace S., who offered to share her story about how Life360 became one of her favorite apps for her family.

Candace first heard about Life360 from her son’s friend and quickly downloaded it soon after. With a new driver in the family, she signed up for the Driver Protect plan and was shocked by the range of features that were included for only $7.99 a month and how inexpensive it was compared to the family app she was previously using.

Teen Drinking, Sex, or Winter Driving: What Worries Parents More?

Snow, ice, thick fog and heavy rain – according to a new Life360 poll, parents worry more about teen driver safety when it comes to hazardous winter road conditions (86%), than they do about teens drinking alcohol (48%) or having unprotected sex (60%).

With AAA expecting the largest volume of Thanksgiving travelers since 2005 – and 48.5 million of them planning a road trip – congested highways mixed with approaching winter road conditions are making safety an even greater concern. And apparently, young drivers get that. According to the survey, nearly 70% of teens are comfortable using a location sharing app with their family, and the number jumps to 86% when the app is coupled with safety services such as the ones found in Life360’s Driver Protect plan. With many teens planning to drive this holiday season – especially those coming home from college or visiting new friends – location-sharing and driver protection apps are a good way for parents to keep them safe on the road and monitor their journey.

Take Your Family Disaster Plan from To Do List to ‘Done’

The 2018 hurricane season is fully underway, with devastating results from Hurricane Florence in the Carolinas. No matter where you live, extreme weather events risk lives and sever access to everyday essentials like utilities, water and communication channels. Yet nearly two-thirds of American families don’t have a solid disaster plan and more than a third of households with children aren’t familiar with school emergency plans — levels that have changed little in years.

The stories of gratitude we receive on a daily basis keeps us working hard to constantly improve our app. We recently connected with one of our users, David, who offered to share his story about how Life360 helped locate and rescue his injured son.

David and his wife wanted to take their kids on one last summer adventure before the new school year began. They woke the family up early in the morning, packed the car, and drove three hours north to a town with a popular ATV park. David and his wife had grown up ATVing and it had become a fun family sport they enjoyed with their two sons over the years. This particular ATV park was one of the family’s favorites – it was and old rock quarry that was more than 1,000 acres of forested areas and large sand dunes. Read more »
