The app worked greatly at first, but for the past couple of weeks, almost a full month, the ETA was always inactive, and instead of saying the actual distance, it's constantly stuck on 4.3 miles away. I used in-app email support about 2 weeks ago, but still no changes. I might put in another one, but until then, I highly doubt the ETA and distance is going to be fixed.

I have had several issues with this app over the years. My son's stop is often wrong, taking weeks to months to fix, often no ETA shows, and now I cannot add my daughter to the app. I have contacted support several times without a return message or a resolution. There isn't any help on the website, and their method to contact support is online. They claim prompt support, but that has not been my experience.
