The “Mama Owl” cartoon series and KidPair news:

Places: home, school, club

Where the child is, location history, places and arrival alerts. For the adult

  1. “Map” → “Add a place”.
  2. Type an address or a name (“15 Main Street”, “School No. 5”) and tap “Find” — pick the right one from the list and the pin goes there. The area shown on the map is searched first.
  3. Or move the map so the pin sits on the right spot — the same way you can fine-tune what was found.
  4. Choose the circle size: 100 m, 200 m, 500 m or 1 km (or with the slider on the map).
  5. Name it — or pick Home, School, Club, Grandma, Friends. “Save”.

You get notifications when the child arrives or leaves. “Arrival time” (in the places list) is “didn't arrive on time”: if the child isn't there by the set time (on weekdays or every day), you are notified 5 minutes later. If nothing has come from the phone for a while, the notice honestly says it is unknown where the child is, not “late”.

A club or a tutor on different days at different times? Add the class under “School” → “After school” and choose this place — the arrival is checked by the start of each class.

For the school, “School” → “Where the school is” is handier: the arrival is checked by each day's first lesson, and not in holidays or on weekends. The place on the map then says “Expected by the first lesson — from “School””, and its own arrival time is not used.

Free: one place with arrive/leave alerts. More places and “Arrival time” need the subscription; what is already set up keeps working without it.
