Missing 1 feature but AWESOME otherwise
To the developers of this awesome app. I use this app to let my clients on my limo bus find my location throughout the night. The great part is they don't have to install any apps to use it. It is a web based link they can see me from. The part I wish this app had was a way for them to see their own location on that link, or a way for them to connect their dot to my dot. I often have to park in an area just within walking distance but it gets difficult to describe to them where they are in relation to my location. This would be an amazing feature to include in a future update.

Safe travels
At first I felt like this app was a bit stalkerish and unnecessary. However, I’ve come to like using it because of the feeling of security it provides. I travel extensively around the country with my toddler to visit family. My husband travels for work so he often isn’t with us. I can send a this app to my husband and the family members we’re visiting so they can see our progress. If I forget to tell them where exactly we’re stopping for a break or to eat, this app shows them where we are. God forbid something happens to us on the road, someone can see where we are.

Simple and perfect
this app does what it's supposed to do, allow others to track your location and speed. My wife loves being able to keep an eye on me when I'm taking a long bike ride, and I like knowing that she's keeping an eye on me in case something should happen. (Even though she once "caught" me taking an unscheduled stop at the local ice cream shop!) Some years ago I got hit by a car while riding and ended up in the E.R. Nobody knew where I was! If I had had this app my wife would've known that something was wrong and could've found me.
