Suggestions for a live tracking app for Android phones

    I’ve been trying to use the Wahoo live-tracking feature (got an Elemnt Bolt) but it’s not reliable and seems to stop working just a few minutes after starting my ride. I suspect it might be something to do with my cheap chinese phone (Alpha Maze-X) not being great at bluetooth. Unfortunately, it’s doing the opposite of what I want – I want my wife to be able to see where I am if she starts worrying that I’ve been out for too long and today it showed that I stopped halfway down a hill just a few minutes into my ride (which understandably made her think that I might have crashed there).

    So, I’m looking for an Android app that just uses my phone (I always take it with me) and lets my wife see where I am. Ideally I’d like it to be controllable so that it doesn’t chew up my battery when I’m not out cycling.

    Any suggestions?

    My wifes job means that she works all over the place so she has a life 360 app that lets you see where she is. Seems to work really well.

    Thanks – I’ve installed it

    Thanks – I’ve installed it and am going to give it a try. I’ve also found out that you can do location sharing in a similar fashion using Google Maps.
