Description

PlaceTrack is a modern, powerful, full-featured location journaling and sharing app for iPhone. It keeps a history of your locations with speed, course, altitude, and user activity data, lets you track your loved ones, check the speed they are travelling, get directions to their current location or view a street level picture of any place they are or they have been. You can also overlay and compare your contacts location against a GPX track: import from files, Strava or Apple Watch workout routes (the app integrates with HealthKit)
Main features include:
- safe location sharing with the people you trust, in real time
- live data: force a contact’s device to immediately send a fresh location
- passive and battery friendly: run in the background with no noticeable impact on battery life, location is periodically updated as the device moves
- context data: location data can include location history, speed and course, altitude, whether you’re walking, running, moving in a vehicle or resting
- you are in control: set who sees your current location or who has access to your location history with fine-grained access controls
Other features:
- excellent battery usage: PlaceTrack uses SLC mode (Significant Location Change) and region monitoring, NOT continuous background. PlaceTrack is suspended in the background most of the time and is woken up only when you move significantly (detected using cell towers signal); most of the time it just sleeps and the GPS hardware is powered off to preserve battery. Install the app and forget about it
- save your location history for later viewing
- optionally share your recent location or location history with authorized PlaceTrack contacts
- forced contact location updates: you can ask for a live location update from a contact and the backend platform will silently ask your contact device for a new location update
- delayed sync: stores your locations when network is unreachable and pushes them to the PlaceTrack servers when you're back online
- in-app streetview images
- track overlays: import route data from Apple Watch, Strava and GPX files
- location sharing works using address book phone numbers: your phone number is authenticated through an sms code on your first activation
- your data, including your phone number and location, is always sent on a secure connection (ssl) and is never shared with any third party

New release and it's fantastic!

Best app ever found to share your location on the fly with friends. I've had the pleasure of owning this app for a long time now and, apart from it becoming unusable when latitudes closed down (from my perspective), I have now been working closely with the developer to get this release available and assisted with beta testing. I'm so happy this new version now available for people. You are foolish if you don't buy it! ;). It works great and many great improvements still to come.

Excellent App!!

Although long overdue this app was well worth the wait. Far better than all other latitude apps in the store. Highly recommended.
There have been reports of crashing on OS 4.1, but I'm still running 4.0 and everything is swell.
Keep up the good work Nico!

Crashes on IOS 4.1

✓ check out where your contacts are (thumbnails are shown on map or list view) once you confirm each other as friends
-Actually I couldnt find this feature.
✓ Facebook support: update your Facebook wall with location data, a map and an optional text
-It doesnt work on IOS 4.1. crashes. Please fix the bug for iphone 4 on iOS 4.1
✓ battery friendly background mode: the application suspends on exit and is woken up only when you move significantly (detected using cell towers signal); most of the time it just sleeps and the GPS hardware is powered off to preserve battery
-How can I know whether the GPS is being used or the cell tower signal is being used ? Please clarify this. After exit the GPS signal shows on the top.
✓ your current location (address and gps coordinates) with altitude and speed (if available) are always displayed on the application main screen and included in Facebook status updates
-Couldnt do that yet.
