Surfshark, the VPN provider behind the new HeyPolo app, targets users who find Apple’s Find My too blunt. While Find My lets you share location for an hour, until day’s end, or forever, it offers no way to set custom windows or reduce precision. HeyPolo introduces exact start‑end timing and a toggle between pinpoint and approximate coordinates, promising tighter control.

The app bundles seven features: unlimited group creation so families or work crews can reuse contacts, smart notifications that fire when a member enters a predefined zone or sends an SOS, optional trip‑history visibility, and a driver‑monitoring mode that reports speed spikes. All data travel encrypted, and HeyPolo maintains a privacy‑first stance, promising never to sell location information.

HeyPolo offers a seven‑day free trial before requiring a subscription. The annual plan costs $47.88, equivalent to $3.99 per month, and includes all premium controls. A 30‑day money‑back guarantee backs the service, positioning it as a low‑cost alternative for privacy‑concerned users who want more granular sharing options.

Parents can monitor teen drivers, couples can share only a general area, and field teams gain automatic check‑ins without manual updates. By addressing the rigidity of Find My, HeyPolo forces larger platforms to reconsider their privacy settings. Its subscription model and promise of never selling data set a new benchmark for location‑sharing services.
