01 — Set up
Create a trip in seconds
Name the trip, choose how your group is travelling, and set a fence radius — the distance at which you get an alert if someone drifts. Done in under a minute.
How are you travelling?
What kind of group?
Peers
Friends / equals — everyone gets fence alerts when anyone wanders out.
Supervised
School trips, tours — only the admin gets alerts. Members just see the map.
02 — Track
See everyone on one map
Once the trip starts, every member appears as a pin on a live shared map. The fence is drawn automatically — anyone who drifts outside it triggers an alert.
-
Live pins for everyone
Each member shows as an initials pin. The leader is marked with a star. Pins update in real time as the group moves.
-
Fence alerts
A circle shows the active fence radius. Pins turn red when outside it — the whole group is notified immediately.
-
One-tap SOS
Always visible at the bottom of the map. One tap sends your exact GPS coordinates to every group member instantly.
03 — Go
Up and running in three taps
No tutorial needed. The app walks your group through setup with a built-in quick start guide.

Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
-
-
How does location tracking affect battery life?
FlockEye uses periodic location updates while a trip is active. Battery impact depends on your device, OS settings, and how long you’re tracking — expect more usage than idle phone time during a long day out.
-
Does it work without cell service?
FlockEye requires an internet connection for real-time location sharing. We recommend downloading offline maps in your phone's native maps app for areas with spotty coverage.
-
How many people can join a trip?
Each trip can include up to 25 people — perfect for families, friend groups, and small tour groups. Everyone joins with the same trip code.
-
What happens to my data after a trip ends?
Location pings are removed from our servers within 48 hours of a trip ending. When the trip ends, the app prompts you to save your GPS track before that window closes. Basic trip info, chat, and SOS messages may stay on our servers until a trip admin deletes the trip. See our Privacy Policy for more.

-
-
Who can see my location?
Only members of your active trip can see your location. Tracking stops completely when the trip ends.
-
What happens when someone triggers SOS?
All group members are notified in the app right away, and the server also sends a push alert when your device has registered for notifications. The map focuses on them so everyone can coordinate a response.
-
How do the automatic alerts work?
The app compares each member’s position to the trip’s shared distance from whoever’s leading. You get alerts when someone crosses that boundary (when enabled), when a member’s location goes stale, and when the leader’s signal is weak or offline — so the group stays coordinated.

-
Is my data sold to advertisers?
Absolutely not. We never sell your location data or personal information. Your privacy is fundamental to our business.
-
What devices are supported?
FlockEye is available for iOS (iPhone 8 and newer) and Android (8.0 and newer). There is no separate Apple Watch app at this time.
-
Do participants need to create an account?
Yes, all participants need a FlockEye account. Creating one is quick and free - just your name, email, and a password.
