Kinda creepy feature if you ask me. I rather check into places. :/
Is not for everyone or to have your location known 24 hours a day...
it only works if you allow the access
This could be bad for the married folk...haha...imagine your wife saying "If there's nothing to hide then give me permission to find you on this app".
Say YES and you're being tracked, say NO and she'll suspect!
This is bad!!
Now I'll always know where he is :smileywithshadeson:
Big Brother is already watching, why not big sister too.
It doesn't let you use it says need iso5
exactly
I am going to LOVE this app.
Same lol
Do we really need it??
First the new facebook and now this, life just got a lot easier to be a stalker
it's not stalking if the other person allows it
or if you use chloroform..
"Oh really, you're at work? Prove it!"
And I'll be submitting an app for approval today: "Find My Restraining Order".
Umm, you can control who you share you location with.
creepy
Can't see it on the UK AppStore yet....

BIG issue for those of us (most) who have apple id for purchases, and separate @me.com for email ect.
To use, you need to log in with your @me.com address. One logging in, it says you need to verify your email... Go to apple, go to verify email, and it has it listed, but won't let you verify, because the emails address is already in use with another account (your store purchase account).
I assumed I could just change the email on my store purchase account, but it won't let me.
I'm basically busted.
Same here. What's up with that Apple ??
iOS 5, that finished a entrance during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June, outlines a branch indicate for a company’s mobile software. Yes, it’s mostly a collection of tweaks, improvements, and fiddling with a attempted and loyal formula, though it’s also one that–for a initial time–breaks iOS inclination detached from computers regulating Apple’s iTunes program and goes serve to try to harmonize a inclination into a same family.

I don't know how often I'll use this, but the first thing I did was wake up and download it, it's pretty neat!

Find My Friends is a joke. I've talked to 3 linked friends and they all get the same results - "LOCATION NOT AVAILABLE". Thanks for nothing Apple.
Just one more disappointment in a long list of apps that only work if all the stars are lined up perfectly. "Location Not Available" is the only response I get unless the sought device is here under the same roof!
I intended to put you the very small word just to say thank you as beofre over the amazing basics you've shared on this website. It is so incredibly generous of people like you to provide extensively all that a lot of people could have offered for an e book to help make some money for their own end, mostly seeing that you might have done it in the event you decided. Those good tips as well acted like the easy way to know that someone else have the identical fervor the same as my very own to figure out whole lot more in terms of this matter. I think there are thousands of more pleasurable moments ahead for people who scan through your blog.
