Features

Life360 is both a web and mobile application and was referred to as a "family-oriented
private social network" by Bloomberg Businessweek. The app is a social network for
families and differentiates itself in this way as it is not based around peer groups or
professional networks such as Find My Friends and LinkedIn. It allows users to share
locations, group message, and call for roadside assistance. It has four main features
which include location sharing, circles, places, and premium.

I. Locations sharing
The main feature of the app is location sharing. Users can open the app and see where
other members are instantly. Users can choose to share or not to share their location
with any particular circle at any particular time.
II. Circles
Circles is the app’s newest feature, released on September 3, 2013. Circles allows
users to create separate groups within the app, e.g. “caregivers,” “extended family,”
and “John’s baseball team.” Users’ location is only visible to those who are also in the
circle, and members in “caregivers” cannot see the location of users in “extended
family,” unless they are also in that circle.
III. Places
Life360 allows users to create geofences that alert them when another enters or
leaves another location.

Advantages
 Let you notify family members when you're on the go, and when you've safely
arrived at your destination.
 Allow you to share your location in real-time with people you trust. This could come
in handy if you run into car trouble and find yourself stranded on the side of the
road, or if you're lost and need some help getting back home.
 Keeping your child safe by tracking their activity and even your child's GPS
location.
