App works as advertised, updates google latitude in the background! – Latitudie Review

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!
