- **Find My Family**: real time location sharing, **full travel history** (paid tiers), and **battery aware tracking**, with up to 2 contacts on Free and unlimited contacts on Essential and Plus.
- **Places and smart alerts**: save **unlimited places** and set geofenced **arrival and departure alerts** per person, with **quiet hours** (Essential and Plus).
- **Communities and neighbourhood watch**: view and report local incidents on a map, see **verified watch members**, and receive broadcast alerts, available on all tiers including Free.

Available on **iOS, Android, and Huawei (AppGallery)**, with web sign in at **app.namola.com**. A data connection is required.

Designed primarily for **South African consumers and families**, with additional options indicated for **business** and **community** use.
