That's why you'll need to select a profile picture after you've completed your account. The interface is really intuitive, with lots of features at hand and a side menu to access tools. It comes with a tutorial, showing new users how they can access various tools.
Lots of nice features

More features and tools

You can check in and the app sends lots of notifications that you can adjust. It has a panic icon, 10 seconds after you press it the app sends a call, email or text to anyone in your circle. It shows them your location alerting them that you may need help.
It can be used for locating your lost phone, all you need to do is to log in to www.life360.com using the same email or phone number and check your device's last known location on a map. It would have been nice if it had the feature to remotely delete data or to enable sounds.
