Wanna keep your friends updated on your position? Would you like to see your friends' positions in real time? Or what about your phone telling you when that friend you haven't seen in a long time is around the corner? Forget about making phone calls just for asking your friends where they are and start saving money! Just let Latitudie run in background and it will update your location as you move. It's never been that easy!

- Update your position, manually or automatically
- Access and edit your location history
- Temporarily hide your location
- See your history on a map and replay it
- Track and manage your friends
- Invite new friends to use Latitude

When running in the background, Latitudie will let you decide if want it to update your position when only you move, in order to save battery power.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Crash!!!

No more black screen, just crashes when ya try to add a friend from google contacts. Keep trying though, a promising app!! 


2.0 = no longer a work in progress
gr_ck

The 2.0 update is excellent... even using GPS updates in the background (until iOS 4.2 comes out and resolves tower switch notification issues) seems to be more battery efficient than previous versions, and it updates Latitude on the interval like clockwork. Beyond that, Alberto has been very keen on answering questions... and good customer support goes a long way.


Unreliable but Promising

IPhone4 and full bars 3G: Using this for work an its unreliable. 1 hr later it has my coworker who is standing next to me, about 7 miles south of our location. Does not seem to update my loation accurately. I have to restart it often to get a good fix on my position. refreshig map does nothing. And sometimes the app crashes. Could be very promising if it is more accurate. Fix the bugs and you have a winner!


App works as advertised, updates google latitude in the background!
Critic81

So some of the reviews on this app aren't fair because it seems the people don't understand how Google latitude works and how iOS background location works. I downloaded the app this morning and used it as I walked around Boston for the day. The apps works EXACTLY as advertised. It is great. It will update your location on Google Latitude when you change positions. This is based off of the baseband connecting to cell towers. It is not based off of a certain time limit, and shouldn't be. It updates as you move and only when you move. Perfect for saving battery life. For the people saying it updates every second, I do see that happening but that is only happening when you have the actual app open. That is something that the developer needs to look into. When the app is running in the background, it works perfect! Some other improvements i think would make this app a top contender is really to just address the every second update when the app is open, and to also just incorporate a friends map. Basically it would really be nice to see my friends locations in the app instead of having to use the Google Latitude web app. Fix those two things and its a winner. So happy that I found this app. I will be recommending it to all my friends! UPDATED FOR V2 the crashes are fixed now. Seems to run great and updates in the background. I still want the blue accuracy circles around friends and the ability to cycle through friends in the friend map mode like how the latitude web app does. Other then that solid update!


Background Update Problem
Formula Lotus

I've also had the problem where Latitudie will stop updating in the background. Example I bought Latitudie and turned on 15 minute minimum updates with GPS off. I see an update posted to Google. Seems to work. I then drive 15 miles / 30 minutes to work in the morning and check Google in the afternoon. I can see that Latitudie only made one update shortly after having left my house. No further updates were made unless I forced an update by opening the App. The problem went away once I enabled GPS updates. But I'd like to be able to have more frequent updates without the battery draining too quickly. I tend to run a GPS app while driving, if that helps narrow down the problem. 5 stars once this gets fixed.


Crashes when adding friends
Gerry V

Promising app but doesn't deliver. Bought it so that I can use the friend tracker. I don't 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!


Doesn't update unless left in the multitasking bar
Dod_Father

...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! That's pathetic, especially on my shiny iPhone 4. The app doesn't update unless you have it in the background, and then it eats your battery.


Suggestions
Dan dsfh

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 don't move far enough to trigger an update, one will be triggered automatically eventually.


update didn't fix the crashes

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