What Is HeyPolo?
HeyPolo | Family and Privacy First Location Sharing | Overview
HeyPolo is a privacy-first location sharing app for families and the other people you look out for. It comes from the Surfshark team, and HeyPolo never sells location data. You create a group, invite your people and see where everyone is on a shared map. Each person controls what they share, which is why the app is built around care without control. HeyPolo works on iPhone and Android and holds a 4.9 star rating on both app stores.
Key Features of HeyPolo
- Real-time location sharing on a live map that refreshes every few seconds
- Exact or general location, so you can share a precise pin or an approximate area
- Private mode, which keeps you in a group without sharing your location
- Sharing controls for each group or person, including how long you share and a weekly schedule
- Unlimited groups and unlimited people, for family, friends or colleagues
- Place alerts when someone arrives at or leaves home, school, work or any place you choose
- SOS alerts that send your live location to your whole group in an emergency
- Car crash detection that checks in with the driver and alerts their groups if there is no reply
- Speed alerts for drivers who choose to share them
- Driving scores from 1 to 10 for each trip, with a weekly driver report
- Severe weather alerts when an official warning covers someone in your group (US only)
- Trip history to review where your group has been
Use Cases of HeyPolo's Location Sharing
Parents of teenagers use HeyPolo to see that a teen got to school, practice or home, without a stream of "where are you" texts. Families with a new driver use speed alerts and driving scores to start a conversation about driving with real information. Adult children use it to keep an eye on an older parent who lives alone, and caregivers use it to confirm that someone has arrived where they should be. Couples use it to know when the other is nearly home. Friends use it at festivals, on city trips and on hikes, where groups spread out. Families of shift workers can see when a late shift has ended, and anyone walking home late can share their location with a friend until they arrive.
