11 Ways the Flares App Makes Parenting Easier

Flares is a very useful tool for parents, allowing older children to quickly and unobtrusively check in while with friends, at school, or outside. Flares is also great for allowing families to communicate: flare when leaving work, picking kids up from practice, and even getting the groceries. 

Here are 11 ways that the Flares app makes parenting easier and reasons you should download it today.

  1. Shoot flares to everyone to get a beat on their location on the slopes, an amusement park, a ballgame, virtually anywhere a space is large and crowded
  2. Have your son or daughter shoot you a flare when they arrive at a travel destination (train station, airport, school, etc.).
  3. Have a child away at college shoot you flares once a day to let you know they’re doing OK.
  4. Shoot a husband or wife a flare when you’re stuck in traffic and late for dinner.
  5. Shoot flares to the babysitters to let them know you’re running behind or on your way home.
