Family Tracking App Development — Questions Answered
10 direct answers. No sales language.
Family tracking app development in the UK typically costs £20,000–£55,000 for a location tracking, geofencing, and SOS platform with a parent dashboard, depending on feature scope. Mtoag provides a fixed quote after a free scoping call.
Mtoag builds family tracking apps around UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 requirements specifically for children’s data — including explicit parental consent flows, data minimisation, and encrypted storage of location history.
No, if engineered correctly. Mtoag uses battery-efficient background location APIs (geofencing triggers rather than constant polling) to keep daily battery usage low while still providing real-time location when needed.
Yes. Multi-guardian access with independent logins is standard — useful for separated or blended families where more than one parent needs visibility into the same child’s location and alerts.
A one-tap SOS button triggers an instant push notification and SMS fallback to all registered guardians, along with automatic live location sharing, so parents can respond immediately without needing to open the app first.
Yes. Each child profile supports independent, custom-drawn safe zones (school, home, a grandparent’s house) with its own arrival and departure alert rules.
Yes, if scoped. Screen time limits, app category restrictions, and scheduled downtime windows can be built alongside location tracking, giving parents a single app for both location and usage oversight.
A focused MVP with tracking, geofencing, and SOS features takes 8–12 weeks from kick-off to App Store submission. Every project receives a fixed timeline in the Technical Specification.
Yes, 100%. All source code, design files, and App Store assets created for your project belong to you from day one, written into every Mtoag contract as standard.
Every project includes a 30-day post-launch support window covering bug fixes at no extra cost. Ongoing maintenance, iOS/Android compatibility updates, and feature development are available on a monthly retainer.
