Update This app still sucks my youngest one his phone keeps disconnecting I have to keep sending him the text to reconnect. the location is not accurate sometimes. And it's a delay they will leave my house and when they are almost to where they are going it's finally telling me that they left the house. It's so slow to where when I try to add a location or save it the app automatically restart

I got the app and companion app on two children's phones. All paired. Worked well for a couple weeks. Then it didn't work at all. I would get email updates that stated usage and link to the app, but the app showed no activity. One of my children deleted the app and I was not notified. I also got kicked off the app and when I signed in, 2 step authentication went to a number not on my plan. Don't know if I was hacked. Code didn't come to my phone. When I signed back in later, everything was ok.

Well, I was beginning to think I was losing my mind until I came here, and everything is explained perfectly. This app won't even open. It goes in loops back to the main screen for logging in. I have deleted the app and reloaded several times, and still nothing happens. Where is the old version that at least worked?? I did email Verizon about the issue. It makes it a tad more difficult to set limits on a teenager .. guess I'm going old school and taking the phone all together.
