πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A diagnostic dashboard within the app that alerts users when location services or background activity permissions are restricted on a family member's device.
  2. A 'trip sync' manual trigger button that allows users to request an immediate location and trip history update from a linked device.
  3. A notification system that alerts the primary account holder if the app fails to detect a trip that should have been captured based on movement patterns.

β€œLately the app is not showing all trips. Sometimes I see where my kids are while they are actively driving, but the final location isn’t shown. Or trips that I know they have taken the day before a completely missing.”
