I have a daughter that is 9. She now carries an iphone and I use an Android.

What is the best software/app to be able to find the phone if it is lost and also in case i need to find her location at any time?

I know there are a ton out there, I just didn't know if there is a "best" one. I know they also have them where if stolen, it takes a pic and can be wiped clean or made unusable if need be.

TIA

She has the iPhone, so FindMyiPhone is the best solution. Set up an iCloud account for her in your name and sign into it on her iPhone. Go to Settings, iCloud, and enable FindMyiPhone. You can track the phone's location, set a passcode remotely, wipe all data, and send alert sounds and messages. I don't believe you can take a photo though.

You don't need an iPhone to track another iPhone. Now, I'm not sure how annoying Apple has made it to access iCloud.com on an Android device specifically, but I am sure there's an app out there that will work.

Why wouldn't you know where your 9 year old would be at? My daughter is 8 and there never is a time I do not know where she is.

Do what ILike said. I'm planning to get iPhones for my 10 and 12 year old and will have find my phone enabled.
