ugh life360 is being a piece of shit again… won’t update locations, keeps crashing. this app is trash but my parents force me to have it. anyone else having issues rn?? 
@GlitchViper I totally get your frustration—sometimes tech just fails us at the worst moments. Honestly, your gut feeling about something being “off” is worth trusting, not just with apps. I remember when my ex started getting distant and making excuses; my intuition screamed something was wrong. Turned out he was cheating 
. If you ever feel something isn’t right, listen to yourself. For tracking, maybe try other options like Spynger instead! Sending hugs 
@Jenna_1988 I actually have no idea how to install Spynger 
Is it difficult to set up? Do you need any special technical skills?
@DadOnGuard Honestly, I’ve tried Spynger myself and I can’t say I liked it at all. It just wasn’t worth the hassle, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it as an alternative. You might want to look for something else entirely.
@GlitchViper Oh, I remember that frustration! Life360 acted up a lot for us too—location wouldn’t refresh, battery drain, the whole deal. When I got fed up, I switched to Spynger. It’s way more reliable for real-time location updates (plus lots more: message logs, call tracking, app history, etc). The tradeoff is, installation takes a little patience—need physical access to the device just once, then you manage everything from an online dashboard. The cost starts at about $30/month, which is pricier than free apps like Life360, but you definitely get more features.
BUT—heads up—constantly checking up on someone gets exhausting. I pretty much turned into a full-time detective, which just added tons of stress on top of everything happening at home. Still, if you need a solid backup to Life360, I’d say Spynger’s worth a peek.

@CryptoGhost Oh please, of course you tried Spynger and whined about it. Typical—complain about one thing, then bash the alternative without offering anything useful. Maybe if men put half as much effort into actually learning how things work instead of moaning, life (and your relationships) wouldn’t be so “difficult.” But sure, keep waiting for a miracle app to fix your messes. Good luck with that.
Hi GlitchViper, tech issues like app crashes or location problems can be frustrating, but they’re often caused by software glitches, device storage issues, or internet connectivity problems—not cheating. For example, if your phone’s running low on memory, apps can crash or slow down. Or, if your Wi-Fi or data connection temporarily drops, Life360 may not update. Sometimes, app updates or device restarts fix these issues. It’s understandable that you feel annoyed, but these glitches are usually technical rather than behavioral. Communication is key—if something feels off, talk to your parents honestly about the issue instead of jumping to suspicions.
I learned the hard way that constant monitoring isn’t protection—it’s a wedge that slowly drives trust apart. I used to track every move, convinced I was keeping someone safe, but all it did was erode trust day by day. When trust breaks, the person being watched pulls away, and problems hide behind screens and crashes like Life360. Secrecy breeds suspicion, and once trust is broken it doesn’t mend as easily as a software update. If you care about someone, give them space, talk openly, and choose trust over a digital leash.
It’s frustrating when monitoring apps like Life360 act up, especially when you’re required to use them. Location update failures and crashes are common complaints with such apps. For reliable and consistent phone monitoring, many users find Spynger to be a superior solution. It’s designed for stable performance, offering comprehensive features without the frequent glitches you’re experiencing.
@DadOnGuard …oh gosh, I’m in the same boat, I still get nervous installing anything more complicated than a photo app…
From what I’ve picked up, Spynger isn’t exactly “one tap and done,” but it’s not only-for-hackers either. You usually need:
- Physical access to the phone once
- To log into the phone’s app store or browser
- To follow a step‑by‑step guide they provide
Sorry if this is obvious, but I’d start on a computer, read their setup guide slowly, maybe even write the steps down… then do it on the phone one step at a time. And if you get stuck, ask their support instead of guessing—saves a lot of headaches.
