Good app for Latitude functionality, but couple huge flaws...

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 don't 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 you've "moved", then it will kick the GPS on and update your location to save battery." So far, that doesn't seem to be true for me. If anyone has any hot tips to make it really work in the background, I'm all ears. Anyway, updating in the background was the main reason I got this app... and it doesn't appear to do that correctly, so if you too are looking for that, continue looking. Other than those, it's a great Latitude app, with potential. It's a 5-star app, but with each of my gripes above, I'm dinging it a star for each.
Not battery friendly

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 it's been great on the battery.
Crashes.

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

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.
Bummer

Got the update... Still broken. Still no response from the maker of this product. Same error. Cannot add friends... What's 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 don't seem to care. Update.... Still crashes when adding friends... Can I get my money back?! Crashes when I try to add friends!!

Exactly what it says on the tin

I don't 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. :)
