@hnvcam My cousin (mid-50s) uses Life360 (a similar app) to know when her husband leaves work so she can start making dinner. My brothers and sisters track me to know what part of the world I'm in - then harass me for not telling them I was ok travel. @vineet_dixit I'm wondering how this is different than Life360?

On Life360, participants share location with each other round-the-clock, 24/7, 365 days and only way to stop sharing your location is to un-install the app.
On Kin, you share location on your own terms. You can create different group maps with different group of people. And within each group, you share your location only when you want to. For example, I can share my location with the family group round-the-clock. But I share my location with my hiking group only on Sundays.
Life360 has only 2 free places and any more places requires you to sign up for premium plans.
Kin supports unlimited places for free. Your typical family needs lot more than 2 places they want to use. For example home, school, office, gym etc. And we feel that it's important to give that power to our users at no cost.
Location tracking on Kin is real time. You can get location updates in seconds, not in minutes.
Kin connects not just families together, but connects families to the rest of their world.
