### 1/5 — Lokey使えない場合

*2018-10-24, version 1.02*

このサイトの「hopefully useful softwareのその他のアプリ」にMapMapMeというアプリ、同様の機能があるようです。たまに不具合を起こしますが。

### 1/5 — リンク先が…

### 1/5 — 最近、使えなくなってる (泣)

*2018-05-02, version 1.02*

とても便利に使っていましたが、最近、リンク先のマップサイトが表示されなくなってしまいました？アプリはストアに残ってるし、使えないのは一時的なのか、サービス終了なのか？？？

### 5/5 — Cool little widget

*2016-02-15*

I like this way of sharing my location because most of my friends don't have Find My Friends, even if they use iPhones. This works for everybody, and I don't have to keep updating it as I move around e.g. to a different bar, and yet I still don't have to remember to manually stop sharing, since it times out.

### 5/5 — Really useful and easy to use

*2016-01-05*

I've found this to be a really awesome keyboard for sharing my location especially with non iPhone users. Once you've added to keyboards it's really simple to send the link with one click
