Hi, No sorry. tried this but couldn’t get it to work. But the last releases I did not test it anymore. Maybe I have fixed it by changing things to make it more stable. ---

Seems that to keep the session open safely we need to refresh more often. Maybe I need to fix the sync time on 1 minute. ---

1 thing for the battery lvl below 20: I get the warning when below 20%, very nice! But i also get the warning at 19, 18, 17 % and so on. Maybe this is adjustable? ---

Are there any consequences for the battery life for the family phones? Looks like 1 of the phones is loosing battery power very fast. ---

Apple will put this by default. However if you do not allow apple to use the GPS this will safe battery. Using the app or not does not make a difference. The location will be send to Apple anyhow so that you can use the find my iPhone app in case you lost your phone or if it was stolen. You can check btw what is using the most battery to go to settings\battery on you iphone. ---
