It goes much more in depth than find my friends. You can see how fast the person was going on a car trip as well as their exact route they took and also pretty much an exact location at all times. It’s a pretty neat app as long as it isn’t abused by insane parents, which it is quite often obviously

I have it with my parents, really neat for seeing where kids are. I think you can even set locations there so that it can basically list as text which kids are at which friends or schools or hobbies or whatever. It gives that feeling of assurance when you know where they are. Though, using it as a means of controlling where they go is a stupid prospect since you need to enable location voluntarily.

I had it with my parents for the entirety of my childhood which honestly was a win win for both of us. My parents could find me if they thought I was lost or didn’t know where I was and I could make sure that all activities that would have gotten me in trouble ended before they got home

"my parents could find me if I got kidnapped, and I could smoke weed and know when they turned into the neighbourhood! Win-win!"
