Zift Advisory
Zenly is a real-time location sharing and social app meant to bring you and your friends together. This app is available in both the App Store and the Google Play Store. It is rated for users 12 year of age and older and does not feature any in-app purchases or advertisements. This app is best suited for teens.
What is Zenly - Your map, your people?
Zenly combines GPS locating with a social messaging platform. The app displays a user’s live locations on a map, their current battery life, and has a chat feature for making plans spontaneously.
Users and their friends are able to locate each other anywhere, as long as they have the app enabled.
Is Zenly - Your map, your people safe for my kids?
Zenly is a social media and locating service and may not be safe for kids. Parents should always be careful about allowing kids to share private information, especially their location.
The app requires that an invite be sent to connect with friends, and users must confirm invites from others. So location info is not accessible to anyone outside of a user’s inner circle.
Zenly has some practical applications for families, who could install Zenly during a vacation to keep track of everyone and reconnect when separated. It could also be of use during crowded or potentially chaotic situations, such as concert venues or street festivals.
While Zenly is recommended for users ages 4+, but the app is better suited to more responsible teens.
