I just discovered this app. I know there are folks out there who think location tracking is the opposite of privacy but it's a nice security tool to keep track of your loved ones. I found this one thats fully end to end encrypted. I am currently in the works to migrate my family of 10 over. (This includes my grandparents who are less than tech savvy)

Just thought I would share in the event there was a father like me looking for a similar tool that doesn't sell your location data or breach your data.

This app would of been great help to me a couple of years ago!

I'll wait for this personally:

"In the future, we plan to release a version of Paralino for Android that is free of Google services and available as a direct download."

The dev also explains the current status of the app here in the comments:
