Findmykids: Location tracker

What it is

Findmykids is a family safety app from LETEM LTD, listed under Parenting. It combines GPS location tracking with parental controls, and it works with a companion install on the child’s phone. The listing is rated Everyone, shows a Play release date of June 2015, and was updated on 2026-10-27. It is free to install.

What it does well

The listing leads with location. Parents can see where a child is right now and look back over the route and places visited that day. You can also mark locations like school, home or a playground, then get a notification when your child arrives or leaves.

Two features deal with urgent moments. The Loud Signal rings the child’s phone even if it is set to silent. The SOS button works the other way: the child taps it and the parent is alerted straight away. There is also a screen time tool that shows how long a child spends in apps during school hours.

The ratings are solid. The app holds 4.63 from 2,067,557 ratings and has 50,000,000+ installs. Of those ratings, 81.8% are five stars and 8.7% are four.

Where it falls short

The listing mentions a live listen feature, which lets a parent hear sound around the child. That is a powerful tool, and it raises privacy questions that the listing does not discuss. Families, especially those with older children, would want to talk it through before turning it on.

The page also says nothing about prices, plans or what is free versus paid, so the cost is unknown from the data here. The rating split shows 3.9% one-star ratings and 4.1% at three stars, a modest but real group of people who were not satisfied. The listing gives no cause.

A final note: the description spends a good deal of space naming rival apps, which tells you more about how it is marketed than how it works.

Who it suits

Parents who want to know where a child is during the school day, and who want a way for the child to call for help, are the obvious fit. It needs to be installed on the child’s phone as well, so it suits families where the child has their own device. Check pricing inside the app before relying on it.
