Latitudie App Reviews

Promising app but doesnt deliver. Bought it so that I can use the friend tracker. I dont care to see where I am. I have Google maps for that. Crashes every single time I try to add a friend. Wish I never bought it! Real bummer

Crashes when adding friends. States the server is down. Please fix!

...and then it kills your battery. I turned on GPS updates--which warn of more battery usage)--then tried to combat that by setting it to only every two hours. I left it running in the background then went to bed with a full battery. In the morning I was down to half! Thats pathetic, especially on my shiny iPhone 4. The app doesnt update unless you have it in the background, and then it eats your battery.

Should be good if iOS 4.2 fixes location update bug. I would like to suggest 2 features. 1. Trigger an update whenever power is plugged/unplugged. I charge in the car, and this would allow for prompt updates when arriving at a destination. Updates could be more frequent when on a charger - ie every minute. 2. Implement a maximum time between updates that can be used when in "location change trigger" mode. This way if you dont move far enough to trigger an update, one will be triggered automatically eventually.

Even after the update the app crashes on the add a friend tab.

I have not seen the application crash as others have stated, but two things: 1) As with other reviews, they are correct, there is NO way for you to completely shut it off that I can see, other than going in to settings manually and turning off location settings for the app. Even if you "kill" the app in the multi-tasking bar, it continues to run.... and even if you then go in to kill the process, it continues to appear to be accessing the GPS. 2) My major gripe... it does NOT update in the background for long... I dont know how, what, why, or when... but say you put the frequency on "15 minutes", and you background the app... I will normally get an update 15 minutes later, but then not again until I launch the app again. I know it has been said that "it checks your location with tower data, and only when it determines that youve "moved", then it will kick the GPS on and update your location to save battery." So far, that doesnt seem to be true for me. If anyone has any hot tips to make it really work in the background, Im all ears. Anyway, updating in the background was the main reason I got this app... and it doesnt appear to do that correctly, so if you too are looking for that, continue looking. Other than those, its a great Latitude app, with potential. Its a 5-star app, but with each of my gripes above, Im dinging it a star for each.

Been using it at 1 hour intervals on my iPhone 4, and it drains the battery like crazy. On a side note, I bought PlaceTrack a few days ago, and so far its been great on the battery.

As others have said. The update has not solved problems. I would not buy until ratings show real improvement.

I gave a bad review for the first version of the app. Now this program works perfectly for me. This program is been vastly improved. Their last update made this program behave as it should. It updates at the correct interval. It runs in the background properly. And it seems to remain logged in which I appreciate, as I was tired of having to go to a Google login and permissions setting every time I ran the program. Now just seems to run properly.

I have some UI quibbles but its been very reliable for me for months now.

Got the update... Still broken. Still no response from the maker of this product. Same error. Cannot add friends... Whats the point of this if I cannot add friends?! Still broken... No response in getting my $$ back for a broken app. Lowered to 1 star since the makers dont seem to care. Update.... Still crashes when adding friends... Can I get my money back?! Crashes when I try to add friends!!

Crap never worked deleted it redownload it and it still will not work want my money back

Used to work great, now after the recent versions it never updates. Luckily there are plenty of other alternatives now.

Saw this app on my girlfriends DroidX. Looks like fun. Wont add her as a friend. Crashes when trying to connect w servers. Can I please have a refund?? Hahahaja!!! Like THATS going to happen.

I dont usually say this in a review, but others really don’t understand iOS 4’s background Location Services and/or the intention of Google Latitude. This app does exactly it says, exactly how you’d expect (in iOS 4). It updates in the background (when you move—iOS design), uses GPS in the foreground and GPS in the background (if something else is) or cell location (if not) (iOS design), and has next to no impact on the battery when in the background (iOS intention). The friends features are nice, and the history/playback is kinda neat. But seriously, automatic background updating is the key feature to Google Latitude, and Latitudie does it. :)

Flat out does not work dont waste your money until an update comes out. Crashes everytime.

Everything seems to be working fine now. I dont have enough friends using this YET, but hopefully soon. I think its early in its life for everyday practicality. But, in time, it will be awesome.

Been using this for a while. Works great. Has more options than Googles latitude app.

POS app. So mad I bought this it wont even open in my phone! 2 bucks wastes I could have bought some gum. Refunds should be an option.

Its great that you added the ability to hide inactive friends, but itd be nice to be able to hide specific people. Itd be nice to be able to hide friends. I have a friend that lives in another state now, and itd be nice to be able to hide him so that the map will center around my local friends. Thanks for the great app!
