## What is Patrolife Family and Friends Locator (Social GPS Tracker and free messenger)?

*** NOT COMPATIBLE WITH iOS6 ***

Patrolife: We deliver peace of mind. To everyone. 
Patrolife works in the background and lets you see where your family members and friends are located in real time (and vice-versa). 

We offer all cool features, including unlimited number of friends, unlimited number of geo-zones, you can see tracks of your and all your friends' moves for any date (at http://patrolife.com), etc. 

Adding friends is easy: send an invitation right from the app on any of your friend's emails. 

Geo-zones is a simply awesome feature: you can easily set up default round-shaped zones or make them have any shape and size you wish, the limit is only your fantasy. For those who are in a hurry - set up a Quick Zone around your friend's current position with a single tap.  

Curious what all these zones are for? The answer is simple: you'll get notified with a push (and email if you wish so) notification when your friend or a family member enters or leaves a zone, so you don't have to stare at the screen of your phone to catch your boy leaving the school. 

Try Patrolife and you'll see that you worry much less when you know where your loved ones are. 

FEATURES: 
* Easily locate your family members and friends
* On-demand location 
* Control Geo-zones with push and email notifications  
* Multi-user chat 
* Reporting of your phone's location can be switched-off from the app 
* Location and tracks of your and your friends' moves are available for any date at http://patrolife.com

Dear friends, we know that there is always room for perfection, therefore we're keen to make our service and the app better. If you have any comments, suggestions or notes that you think may help us improve the app, we would be very grateful if you tap Contact Support button within the app (Profile menu) and send us a message.

### 5/5 — Easy to do

*2014-06-05, version 2.2.2*

I have tried many of these and this one is by far the best. It is simple to work.

### 3/5 — Необходимо улучшать

*2014-01-12, version 2.2.2*

Приложение неплохое, но его необходимо улучшать.
Из плюсов можно отметить, что четко определяется местоположение - это огромный плюс. 
Минусы: серый, блеклый цвет интерфейса и фона. Лучше сделать его белым или прозрачным. Либо, тоже как вариант, дать пользователям возможность выбирать цвет на их собственное усмотрение.
И я считаю, что необходимо перенести верхнюю панель "Профиль, Сообщения..." в нижнюю часть экрана.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2013-12-23, version 2.2.2*

Хорошее приложение, мне очень понравилось

### 3/5 — Olga

*2013-12-16, version 2.2.2*

Я считаю что приложение вполне хорошое но у него есть не дочеты. Мне не нравится что в этом приложение нужно вводить e-mail и пароль. У меня нет друзей по почте поэтому для меня это не удобно

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2013-12-13, version 2.2.2*

Спасибо разработчикам за такое полезное приложение. Чуточку бы доработать дизайн и можно ставить 5.

### 4/5 — Nice and clean

*2013-12-02, version 2.2.2*

Nice app and I like te use of other map providers. 
Would be perfect if we could trace the route to the friend and be able to go to that friend location
Good luck!

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2013-11-30, version 2.2.2*

I like it up to this point

### 3/5 — Дизайн

*2013-11-29, version 2.2.2*

Дизайн приложения не особо нравится. Не вписывается в iOS 7 никак.
