Ratings and Reviews
used this app for years and it was great but now it keeps crashing every five minutes or my screen freezes up. I use it with a team of people to track locations. I've tried several tablets and cell phones ... all android operating systems and all will not run the app without restarting every five minutes into the use. very disappointing.
update: freezes all the time and app closes on own. The app works great on iphone but on the Droid it doesn't have same features and keeps dropping view of others. Much more confusing
Great, easy app to show friends your location. Makes meeting up for hikes or at festivals so much easier! Love this app.
I have used this app for years after discovering it through twitter / X. It's easy to use and has not failed me once. I wanted an app that would quickly establish my location and be able to share immediately as many locator apps are cumbersome to actually use. If you're in the trunk of a car trying to let your husband know where you are as your phone battery dies, you don't need an app that keeps asking you targeted marketing questions, showing ads after every tap, or can't seem to find you.
reliable. shows my partner how I'm progressing on journey. I haven't worked out some features yet
this app is ridiculous.
