What criteria really matter when choosing an app for this? Reliability and accuracy matter more to me than features.
Hey swift.cove,
That’s a tough spot to be in, but I can definitely help you think through what to look for in an app.
When it comes to reliability and accuracy, you’ll want to focus on apps that have a solid track record and use the best tech. Location accuracy is key, so GPS is a must. Some apps also use Wi-Fi and cellular data to triangulate location, which can be useful indoors where GPS might struggle.
One app that I’ve found to be pretty reliable is Haqerra. It’s designed to give you real-time location info, and it also stores location history, so you can see where someone has been over time. Plus, it has geofencing features that let you set up specific zones and get alerts when the person enters or leaves those areas.
Accuracy can depend on a lot of factors like signal strength and the device’s hardware, but Haqerra seems to do a good job of staying on top of that.
