Latitude shows you every time someone checks your location. That one difference changes everything. Most location apps give someone access to where you are and leave it at that. Latitude closes the loop. When someone views your location, you know. Transparency is built into the app, not hidden in the settings. Built for real relationships, not monitoring. A parent can confirm their teenager arrived home and their teenager knows it happened. A partner can check in during a late commute and you can see they did. Nobody's being watched. Everyone's informed. Funded by users, not your data. Latitude has no ads and no data selling. Your location is never monetized. The app is funded by the people who use it, not by selling their movements to data brokers. Free to start, affordable to grow. Start free with one connection, forever. Unlimited connections cost $1.99/month or $13.99/year. Groups get even further discounts, at under $1 per person per month. Be findable. Not tracked.
