Short answer: FamiSafe’s geofencing is “good, not perfect.” Expect alerts in 1–3 minutes (sometimes 5–10), not truly instant—good enough for school/home zones, but not for split‑second tracking.
- Reliability: Works better on iPhone; on Android you must set Location = Always/Precise and disable battery optimization/autokill for FamiSafe.
- Setup tips: Use a 200–300m radius, enable background refresh/data, and test a few enter/leave events before relying on it.
- Value: Worth it if you also want app blocking, screen‑time, web filter in one dashboard. If you only want location alerts, Life360 (best geofences/driving) or Apple Find My (free, very solid for iPhones) are cheaper/better.
- Try first: Use the trial, set zones for home/school, and watch for missed/late pings and battery drain for a week.
