About this app

Family Nest is a family locator and child GPS tracker for parents: see where your children are, know when they arrive at school or get home, and help new drivers drive safely. Location is shared only inside your private family group, called a Nest, and everyone in it can see who is sharing.

Live family map
• Your children's real-time GPS location on a private map, with battery level and when their phone last checked in
• Live tracking with the route and ETA while they're on the way, in a picture-in-picture window if you like
• Share your own live location by link, for 15 minutes up to 6 hours or until you stop; it opens in any browser and ends on its own
• Nest at a Glance widget: everyone's place and battery on your home screen

Expect: know if they're late
• Pick a place and a time on your child's card, and be told the moment they arrive, or if they haven't
• Repeat it every day for the school run or practice

Place alerts (geofences)
• Arrival and departure alerts for Home, School, Grandma's or anywhere, with a zone you size on the map
• Choose which family members alert you at each place
• Low battery alerts before a phone goes quiet

Location history
• Up to 365 days of location history: every stop, how long they stayed, and every trip drawn on the map
• Download a day as a PDF report with the timeline, a map, speed and distance
• Flights show as flights, not as a long stay at the airport

Safe driving with Nest Drive
• A driving score for each driver, by day and by week, and a driver profile for new and teen drivers
• Driving events on the map: hard braking, rapid acceleration and speeding, with when and where each happened
• Speed alerts with a limit for each driver: one alert per speeding episode, with how long it lasted and the top speed
• Drive alerts when someone starts and finishes a drive

SOS and Watch Over Me
• Hold SOS and your family gets an urgent alert with your location and battery; your emergency contacts get a text message with a map link
• An SOS widget on your home screen
• Watch Over Me: your family follows a walk or a late journey home until you arrive

Family chat and the Nest feed
• A private chat for your Nest, with photos and shared places
• The Nest feed: arrivals, departures and drives, in order
• A warning when a phone's location may be mocked or spoofed

Free trial and Premium
Start with a 21-day free trial, no credit card needed. Premium unlocks live tracking, unlimited places, up to 365 days of history, live speed alerts and the full Nest Drive report. A family pack covers up to six people.

For parents and legal guardians
Family Nest is designed for parents and legal guardians to keep their minor children safe. It is not intended for tracking adults or anyone without their knowledge or consent. Everyone in a Nest can see who is sharing, and sharing can be paused at any time. Please use Family Nest only for lawful, ethical purposes.

Privacy
• No ads, and we never sell location data
• Location is shared only with the members of the Nests you join
• Delete your account and all your data from inside the app

Family Nest was formerly Family360.

When I started the free trial it was great! I just moved closer to my nieces and nephew and bought them all phones so now we can all keep in contact and keep track of them. BUT, now that I paid for the subscription, it seems EXTREMELY laggy!! We won't get notifications till sometimes 30 mins AFTER someone leaves or comes home!! Please fix this!

Not bad I went for the family subscription. Everything was easy to set up. Time will tell. The one main thing I don't like is when I send an invite to my kids phone and link everything. They have the option to remove themselves from my circle and also disable location tracking from the app. I want that optionto be disabled for them since I'm the admin of the account.

My husband started running 5 mi a day and wanted me to be able to know his location in case of an emergency. We have enjoyed it and like the security and the look of the app. I took a star off for the complexity of getting the free version. (my husband was able to start an account easily, but when I joined I was automatically enrolled in the prem. trial and have had trouble accessing the free version.) Since it's only the two of us we don't need any extra features.
