MyPeepl is a private location sharing app built for the people who matter most — your family and close friends. Every location you share is end-to-end encrypted on your device before it ever leaves. Our servers store only encrypted data that we have no key to read. Not us, not anyone else — only the members of your circle can see where you are. Beyond privacy, MyPeepl keeps you genuinely connected: see your circle on a live map, replay a past day's journey, get notified the moment someone arrives at or leaves a favorite place like home or school, and look back through location history whenever you need it. Simple, Secure, Safe.

Verdict

The call

Academy SilverPass's advantage is ratings volume (692 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
