About the app
MyPingr is a Family Locator GPS app that lets families and friends see each other's live location on a shared map, with alerts when members arrive at or leave places you add, circle chat and a one-tap SOS. It suits parents checking that kids reached school or home, friends coordinating meetups, and anyone who wants location sharing without handing over an email, phone number or password.
Unlike many location sharing apps, MyPingr needs no signup: no email, phone number or password, just a nickname. This family locator and friends map shows everyone in your circle in real time with their battery level. Wondering how to find my family after school or on a trip? Open the map, get arrive and leave alerts for home, school or work, keep a private travel map that stays on your phone, and send a one-tap SOS. Only people you invite, and who agree, can see your location.
