SendLocation Reviews

Great App! Been waiting for something like this...

GotZenn

This is just what I've been waiting for on the app store! I've downloaded (and purchased) several different GPS apps that allow you to manually email a link of your current location, but none that will keep sending on a regular basis, especially in the background. This is perfect when hiking or traveling to use as a locator beacon, or for friends & family to be able to track me on a website I created with a simple PHP script and Google Maps integration. Admittedly, you'll need to know some basic PHP to be able to use this - it's not for the lay person. But it fills a perfect niche, and the possibilities are endless for creating your own script (for example, you could have a text message or email alert sent if the phone enters or leaves a certain GPS area, which could be useful for keeping tabs on kids or something like that. Or use it if your phone ever gets lots or stolen (without having to pay for a MobileMe subscription).

Great utililty, does exactly what its suppose to!

Great utililty, does exactly what its suppose to. I can use this to simply send Latitude and Longitude coordinates to my server, and I will take it from there! Thanks!

Fantastic

Thanks! This app is very simple and effective. I was up and running with a quick ASP script on my server to store the location in a database. I then made a simple web page using the Google Maps static map API to show my location. Couldn't have been easier. One suggestion is to provide some configuration options...for example, if the background location service indicates a potential movement, can the app then turn on the GPS get a more precise fix? How about if, when plugged in and running in the background, it uses the full GPS capability and not just the rough background location service? Some options like this would let us trade off between battery and accuracy. Great app!

It works

Just installed, wrote script on APS.NET, and everything works like it should (had not chance to try it in background yet). The only what I can wish in future versions is ability to identify iPhone. I would like to track 3 iPhones, so additional (optional) field would be nice, or just do not automatically "&" instead of "?" if one "?" is already there. In this case, users will be able to add as many additional fields as they wish.

Very promising

This is something I was planning on writing, but I found it! Great application for tracking your phone's location on your own server. Possible improvements: - Include a list of parameters that you can send and enable them using a check list ( so you can enable/disable things such as time stamps, a cellphone identifier string, the heading/speed calculation if they are not of use ) - It runs when phone is in your pocket, but the application needs to be in foreground. I haven't managed to keep it updating when using other applications. - Font size seems to big for the screen. Those of us on te west/south may have visualization problems due to the minus sign. Thanks for this application. Very nice.

Great app

Works exactly as intended. I was able to create a Google map to track my phone with ease.

Delighted to have found this

A good product to use as a base to allow you to build your own tracking applicaiton. Wish it had a few additional features: 1) Ability to set updating threshold (both in foreground and in background) 2) Ability to reduce font size on display. 3) Accept software customization requests.

Not working

Good concept, but doesn't seem to be working. I should have looked at the last update time for this app. iPhone 6 iOS 10 not working
