Sprint Family Locator Customer Insights

1. I would definitely hate to depend on it to locate a missing family member or lost phone!!When trying to set up an account you choose "get started" and it gives you a place to enter your phone number and a password.

2. we've tried other apps that claim to do the same thing but nothing comes close to the service of sprint family locator.

3. Unfortunately my phone was interrupted and this particular time, (yes a few times over the years i missed a payment and the service was interrupted) i lost the ability to locate.

4. I have tried SFL and Sprint and nobody has been able to get it working... Sad , absolutely, but i had a good 8 years.It's great, when it works.

5. The 3 minute delay also hinders giving directions to lost family members while they are driving.It's a very handy App and all...BUT the location posted is often inaccurate.

6. Obviously if you are trying to set up an account you don't have a password yet so I clicked "forgot password" it says it will send you a txt to reset password.

7. I have tried for several days from several different phones and it never sends a txt to reset the password.

8. The other apps we've tried drain the cellphone battery very quickly and are constantly sending notifications to everyone member of the "family".

9. Sprint family locator is accurate even when gps location is disabled on the cellphones.

10. I like that the tracking is invisible on the phone since it is provided behind the scenes with Sprint.

11. when you hit forgot password it says it will send you a text which it never does.
