Findmykids is aimed squarely at parents keeping track of children. Parents install the app, create a family circle and connect the child's phone with an invitation code. The paid plans show the child's location in real time, the places they visited and detailed routes on a map, and send notifications when the child arrives at or leaves places such as school, home or practice. Kids can press an SOS button that sends their location, and parents can send a super signal that sounds even when the phone is on silent or in a backpack. Battery alerts and a family chat round it out. On yearly billing, the Care plan costs $2.42 a month ($29.09 a year) and Plus costs $4.17 a month ($49.99 a year) and adds time in apps and app blocking. The free Basic plan keeps current location and one movement notification. All features are free for 7 days after the first launch. There are no driving tools.
