Has it ever happened that you have to meet someone and the person can't explain where he/she is? This app will quickly find the location of another phone by sending a text message request. Most phones manufactured after 2010 can accept this request, no need to install any additional app on the 2nd person's phone. It does not get any easier than this! How it is working: • User A wants to know a User B location. • User A enters the phone number of User B into the app. • The app generates a unique URL, and the URL is sent to User B. • If User B clicks on the link, user A will see the location of user B. Limitations: • This is not a spy app. User B must agree to share the location with you. • If User B has a device without GPS (desktop computer, tablet), the determined location may have a large accuracy margin (up to 5 km). • In rare situations, when user B is behind the corporate proxy, the app can show the proxy's location, not the user's. The user location is determined in three ways: • E.123, E.164 • RIR • W3C Geolocation API Auto-renewing subscription: Title: Full Access 1m Length: 1 month Price: $1,99 (check the price in the app) EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.codeesteem.com/apps/phone-location/PrivacyPolicy.pdf

TrackPhone convierte tu teléfono en un rastreador GPS profesional. Transmite tu ubicación en tiempo real a tu operador de rastreo, sin necesidad de comprar un dispositivo aparte. Ideal para flotas, mensajería, transporte, personal en terreno o para tu propia seguridad: instala la app, ingresa el ID que te dio tu operador GPS y empieza a transmitir tu posición al instante. FUNCIONES PRINCIPALES • Rastreo en tiempo real Tu ubicación se envía automáticamente cada 15 segundos. Sigue tu recorrido al momento desde la plataforma de tu operador. • Funciona en segundo plano El rastreo continúa aunque salgas de la app o apagues la pantalla. No necesitas mantenerla abierta. • Botón SOS de emergencia Mantén presionado el botón 3 segundos para enviar una alerta de emergencia con tu ubicación exacta a tu operador. • Cuidado de la batería Cuando la batería está baja, el intervalo de envío se extiende automáticamente a 60 segundos para ahorrar energía sin perder el rastreo. • Información en pantalla Consulta de un vistazo tu estado de transmisión, nivel de batería, kilómetros recorridos hoy, coordenadas GPS y tu dirección aproximada. PRIVACIDAD PRIMERO Tu ubicación se envía exclusivamente a quien registró tu unidad. No se comparte con terceros ni con anunciantes. La primera vez que abres la app te explicamos claramente las condiciones de rastreo y debes aceptarlas para continuar. CÓMO EMPEZAR 1. Pide a tu operador de rastreo GPS el IMEI o ID de tu unidad. 2. Ingresa ese ID en TrackPhone. 3. Acepta las condiciones de rastreo. 4. Concede el permiso de ubicación "Permitir siempre" para el rastreo en segundo plano. 5. ¡Listo! Tu operador ya puede ver tu posición en tiempo real. IMPORTANTE TrackPhone requiere una cuenta o unidad registrada previamente por un operador de rastreo GPS que use esta plataforma. La app no funciona de forma independiente sin ese registro.
