Getwello Family Map helps families coordinate care by showing a loved one’s last reported location and sending alerts such as safe-arrival notices and low-battery notifications. Members can save named places, including home, work, school, a GP or a gym, and set geofence radii from 30 metres to one kilometre. A phone can send one push notification when its battery falls below 10%, with the threshold configurable for each user. Sharing is off by default: a Coordinator must enable Family Map for the Circle, and each member must opt in. Turning sharing off removes that member’s current location and trail within seconds; trails are also deleted automatically after seven days. The mobile app uses significant-location changes and saved-place events rather than continuous high-accuracy GPS. The maker says location data is visible only to current Circle members, is not used for advertising, and remains within the EEA. Android, iOS and web access are available. The family plan covers one Circle of up to 10 members for £4.99 per month after a free 30-day trial; there is no free plan.
