PlaceTrack App Reviews

Does not use the native Latitude API. No option for updating at fixed intervals (you have to rely on iOS location events) Buggy

What a piece of dog feces. This app is a ripoff because my friends location still shows the old location of our apartment we lived in three months ago. Whenever I check on his location while hes on the other side of town, it still shows the old location. Fu*k you placetrack!!!

Both my wife and I purchased this app and it doesnt work. need to constantly open app to update. Waste of money in our opinion. We deleted app

I really like this app. its perfect for road trips. its ui and icons could use tweaking but otherwise works as advertised. ability to fine-tune update frequency is super nice. for those complaining about background update not working there was an iOS bug in 4.1 which is fixed in 4.2

Icons were hard to press but new update fixed this! I only wanted it for the background updating anyway which is flawless! Previous bad reviews are due to a bug that was fixed in iOS 4.2, not the developers fault!

Im glad this developer did this app because it provided a service when Google would not. Unfortunately for him, Google has now added a free Latitude app rendering this one obsolete. I dont see anything in this app that makes it better than the free one from Google and Ive used both. Thanks!

Background doesnt work on 3G. Only 3GS and 4. Want money back!!!

...to google when 2 factor authentication is enabled. Known bug for weeks, no response to support emails. :-( UPDATE: the app got updated, but not fixed.

Battery life much better then google latitude app. More options. Seems more accurate. Update: still like this better then googles app but it will not login if you enable 2-step verification on google. The application specific passwords do not work. Would be 4 stars if they fix that.

Thanks for getting a new version out so fast to fix the network update error

Convenient, stable, nice interface.

If you are even debating buying this then just buy it. Hands down the best location app for multiple reasons: 1) This app takes battery life seriously unlike every other location app out there including Googles own Latitude app. I do not even notice a dip in my battery life with this running in the background. 2) Accuracy is not sacrificed. Somehow the location accuracy is perfect even though I use the default GPS timeout which to me is the most important part of the app and something no one else has. 3) Offline support! Personally, I like having every point saved and with this app you get that! Even if you have no data it will monitor your GPS changes and push them online once you have a data connection. Lastly, the developer is quick to fix bugs and adds features all the time!

I have tried several apps to update Latitude and this is the only one I would replace the official Google app with.

This app is much better then the official google client so far. If I look at my track on the history page of latitude and it is much more accurate on days using this app then the other client. With the other client there are points several miles away from anywhere I traveled. Improvements that would help this app: - send location when power status changes. That way it would send when getting in and out of car. - enable different set of options when plugged in. I bet this is an iPhone limitation with SLC events.

This would be an absolutely excellent app but the whole reason I got it was for its ability to auto checkin to Facebook. I have tried absolutely everything and it will not work. If you want it for four square then that works perfectly! Cant wait till this is fixed.

Still some FB errors but latitude and four square seems to be working well.

I use this app to maintain my Latitude history. Since it allows you to set the update intervals, you get a good approximation of where youve been without killing your battery. The auto-checkin features are nice, but I dont use them.

I like how it keeps my latitude and foursquare status up to date in the background while using very little extra battery power. Wish it would only display the GPS status icon when it was actually using GPS, tho.

I have had lots of trouble with the Google Latitude App so I purchased this one thinking I could use it instead. However It does not show your friends but will simply update your location on Latitude.

I have has this app installed on my phone for more than a year and like that I dont need to worry about it working. Just set it up and leave it. It will take care of the rest without eating up all of your battery.
