User reviews

Works as advertised

Sends iOS location data via a http request to a url of your choice. Great way to get location data out of a phone without writing a full app.

Free and works well

The app has always been free, works on new and old iOS versions, is simple to use, and is reliable. That is much more than most of the other apps coming up on Apples search suggestions. Kudos from a long time user.

Satisfied

Very good product, I wish it was possible to choose http request method, variable names.

Response from developer

Thansk for the feedback, I will add these to ideas list for future releases!

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

Interested User

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.
