Functionality Family of the new iOS 8 leaves us a connected family nucleus, with shared purchases, calendars, locations, etc. At the moment, the shopping part is giving some problem to have age ranges in which you have to authorize purchases, since this window remains open for 15 minutes in which the minor can continue with other downloads (Apple ID for those over 14 and under 18).
Another issue that can make this system not appropriate is that not all family members have an iPhoneMaybe your grandmother is more comfortable working with a Windows Phone and your older brother likes Android. In this scenario appears Life360, an application that works like notification center showing the daily activity of your family.
Now the notifications and check-ins are shared in a centralized feed of family activity, they are also managed custom alarms that can alert you when a family member leaves or arrives at a place. It also has a system of posts between family members that allows intercommunication.

Life360 has also created a widget to iOS that puts the interactive notifications on the main screen of the telephone. «The new notification center is another step towards becoming the nerve center of the family, providing unique information that helps simplify the chaos of family life in a world of ubiquitous connected devices.", He said Chris hulls, CEO and Founder of Life360.
The app will will allow:
- See the location of Circle members on an invitation-only map.
- Choose when to share your location with each Circle.
- Chat individually or with all members of a Circle.
- Receive alerts when a member of a Circle arrives at a place.
- Track a lost or stolen phone.
It sucks the battery like nothing.
Thanks, I was about to install it
It effectively consumes the battery too much, it leaves the location activated all the time.
