Just a few days ago our staff reviewed Esen
Life, the family safety and organization tool. This app impressed us with the
set of handy features besides family location sharing and we believe it can be
a useful app for families. Because of that, we pronounce it as our Lifestyle
App of the Week. Read more about why.
In an era where digital tools are
increasingly woven into the fabric of everyday life, the Esen Life app emerges
as a practical solution for modern families trying to stay connected and
organized. Available for iOS, and soon
for Android as well, the app offers a well-rounded suite of features designed
to promote safety, communication, and cooperation—all from the palm of your
hand.
At its core, Esen Life functions as a
family safety and organization platform. Its real-time location tracking
feature allows parents and caregivers to keep tabs on loved ones with
remarkable accuracy. Whether it’s checking that a child has arrived at school
or confirming a partner is on their way home, the app provides live updates and
a detailed location history.
One of the more thoughtful features is
the ability to set Safe Zones—custom geofenced areas like "home,"
"school," or "grandma’s house." Once defined, the app sends
instant notifications whenever a family member enters or leaves one of these
zones. It’s a subtle, non-intrusive way to stay in the loop without constant
messaging or check-ins.
Speaking of messaging, Esen Life
includes a secure chat system, allowing family members to exchange texts,
photos, videos, and real-time locations. The app emphasizes privacy and
security, ensuring conversations remain within the trusted circle.
In urgent situations, the Emergency Help
Button offers a critical lifeline. With one tap, users can send an SOS message
and their current location to pre-selected contacts, providing peace of mind
that help is never far away.
Beyond safety, Esen Life also supports
the logistics of day-to-day family life. A shared calendar helps families
coordinate events, appointments, and special occasions, complete with
reminders. There’s also a built-in task manager, ideal for assigning chores and
tracking completion—a handy tool for fostering responsibility and shared
accountability among household members.
Another small but useful feature:
battery status alerts. Parents can receive notifications when their child’s
device is running low, reducing the chances of unexpected communication
drop-offs.
With “Places” settings mirroring the
Safe Zones feature, users can tag and monitor arrivals and departures from
important locations like sports practice or music lessons—making the app a
helpful ally for families managing complex schedules.
While the concept of family tracking and
task coordination apps isn’t new, Esen Life succeeds in blending functionality
and ease of use without feeling overly invasive or complicated. For families
navigating the fast pace of modern life, it may be just the digital tool needed
to foster a greater sense of connection and security.
