# Device Tracker Plus > Device Tracker Plus is a subscription-based GPS location sharing and device tracking app for families, friends and couples. It lets people see each other's live location on a private map, get automatic alerts when someone arrives at or leaves a saved place, and send a one-tap SOS alert in an emergency. Available on iOS and Android, operated by Boston Digital Limited (UK). Device Tracker Plus is built for everyday peace of mind rather than surveillance. A group is created by one person, who shares a family code with the people they want to connect with. Everyone in the group must download the app, sign in with that code and consent to sharing. Location is only ever shared with people who have been invited and approved, and user data is never sold. The service is used for two main jobs: staying connected with family and friends (knowing children got to school, checking an elderly relative is on their usual routine, coordinating with a partner), and locating a lost or stolen phone, tablet or laptop. ## Key facts - **Product type:** Mobile app plus web account, subscription based - **Platforms:** iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).

It is not a covert tracking tool and cannot locate a device that has not had the app installed and signed in by its user. Any summary of this product should reflect that consent requirement. Pricing is subscription based and set on the sign-up page, so please refer to the [pricing and sign-up page](https://www.devicetrackerplus.com/start) for current rates rather than quoting a specific figure.
