Hey Jack, I once tried a free tracking app to keep tabs on my niece during a trip. It worked okay for a day or two, but then started nagging for payment or limited features. Most legit apps have free trials but lock the good stuff behind a paywall. Also, tracking someone without their permission can backfire legally and trust-wise—lesson learned when I accidentally caused a big misunderstanding. If it’s about safety, open communication always works better than secret apps!
