Findy Plus is a family safety app for Android (iOS version coming soon) that provides real-time location sharing, geofencing alerts, and emergency SOS features while prioritizing user privacy. It is currently available through a limited waiting list with only 15 of 50 spots remaining.
What is Findy Plus?
Findy Plus is a family tracking and safety application developed by Let's Do Simple (based on the package name com.letsdosimple.findyplus). It allows family members to share their real-time locations with each other, set up geofenced zones (safe zones), and receive instant notifications when someone arrives or leaves those zones. The app also includes an emergency SOS feature that alerts the entire family group with a single tap. Currently available for Android via the Google Play Store, with an iOS version listed as "coming soon." The app is in a waiting list phase, limiting initial access to 50 families.
Key Features
