Lifestyle App of the Month – Esen Life
Friday, June 20, 2025
Last week our team reviewed Esen Life, a
family safety and organization app. While it excels at real-time location
sharing, what stood out most were the thoughtful extras—like task management,
safe zone alerts, and emergency support. With its well-rounded feature set and
focus on everyday family needs, we’re naming Esen Life our Lifestyle App of the
Month. Here's why it earned the spotlight.
In today’s fast-paced world, keeping up
with family members—where they are, what they’re doing, and what’s coming up
next—can feel like a full-time job. That’s where Esen Life steps in.
This family-focused app, available on iOS (soon it
will be available for Android as well), offers a thoughtful blend of safety
tools and organizational features that help households stay informed and
connected without constant back-and-forth.
At the heart of Esen Life is
real-time family
location tracking. Parents can see exactly where their children are at any
given moment and view a log of past locations for added context. It's not just
about monitoring—it’s about reassurance. For caregivers with teens or elderly
parents, that visibility can offer significant peace of mind.
The app also allows users to define Safe
Zones, like a school, workplace, or home. Once set, Esen Life will
automatically notify you when a family member arrives at or departs from these
zones. It’s a simple way to stay updated without the need to send a check-in
message.
Another highlight is the secure family
messaging feature. The app supports text, photo, video, and location
sharing—all within a private, encrypted environment. Whether it’s a quick “on
my way” message or sharing a moment from a child’s soccer game, the communication
stays direct and personal.
Perhaps one of the most vital tools is the
built-in Emergency Help Button. With a single tap, a user can send an urgent
alert along with their live location to chosen contacts. It’s a small feature
that could make a big difference in moments of distress.
Beyond safety, Esen Life includes a
shared family calendar to coordinate appointments, birthdays, and school
events. It even sends reminders, helping reduce the mental load often carried
by one or two family members. There’s also task management built into the app,
allowing users to assign chores and track their completion—a simple way to
boost collaboration and teach younger users responsibility.
A helpful touch for tech-conscious parents:
the app notifies you when your child’s phone is running low on battery. It’s a
small detail, but one that helps prevent unnecessary worry when a phone
unexpectedly goes dark.
With a clean interface and a focus on
family-first functionality, Esen Life doesn’t try to do too much—it does
what it’s designed for, and does it well. As families juggle work, school,
extracurriculars, and everything in between, this app acts as a quiet but
steady hand in the background, helping everyone stay safe, on track, and just a
bit more connected.
