    When my bf doesn't answer the phone I tend to worry so he has life360 installed on his phone. This way I can tell if the truck is moving or if he is at a rest area. Most importantly if something (God forbid) happens to him I will know the area he last was. It is OK, but I am wondering if there is anything better. Also, his boss found out about it and added him to his circle so we want to find a new app to get away from him, lol.

    free apps that all you do is enter a phone number and it will track you.

    Google Play - track phone with number

    many apps.

    Okay I have to ask, is his well being the only reason you're tracking him? Is he aware of this tracking?

    Good question. Also, add an app. such as a dog collar with the electric shocker attached. You can zap him if he makes the wrong move. It's a proven device that keeps dogs from playing outside their own yard, or crossing a defined line.

    On my iPhone/iPad, I use Find Friends. Not for tracking, but to find out where the family is at a given time.

    Yes, like I said, even his boss is in his circle.

    You use to be able to use an app called "Latitude" in google maps. Search that to see if there is a new alternative available.

    This brings up lots of feelings and most aren't good.
    For my Kids I would consider it.. But my question would be how secure is the information.

    Second I don't use it for my wife.
    I would never let anybody install such an app on my phone period.
    If I found out it was done, I would consider it grounds for a divorce. Or a breakup if I wasn't married..
    I actually would consider that if my wife girlfriend even asked me to install such an app.

    No I don't do anything questionable. But if you she doesn't think she can trust me she needs to go.
    . Any questions where I am.. Just send a nice letter to the NSA I'm sure they will accommodate your request.

    If he ever needs his man parts how does he get them? Do you Fedex them to him..Geez, what spineless man agrees to be tracked by his significant other. If he can't answer the phone maybe he is driving or working. if it's to the point where you feel you need to track his every move, then maybe you guys shouldnt be together.

    Screw the safety nonsense, the man is a big boy. Big enough to drive across the country, so tracking him won't prevent a darn thing if something were ever to happen. Give your guy his pair back, or if he didn't grow one, tell him to.

    Sounds like a good app, that way you know not to bother him when he's with one of his other girl friends...
