Avísame is a family location app you can start free, an alternative to Life360. Like Life360, your family sees each other on a live map, with arrivals, how long someone has been somewhere, and battery. Avísame adds daily check-ins (with Plus) that answer themselves when you get home, a sealed family emergency plan, and full Spanish and Haitian Creole. It carries no ads and never sells your location.
Why people look for an alternative
Reviews of family location apps often mention battery drain, alerts that arrive late or wrong, features behind a paid plan, and worries about what happens to location data. In 2021 The Markup reported that Life360 sold precise location data to data brokers; Life360 then said it would stop, except for one partner. Those are the reasons Avísame was built the way it is.
