Was really useful. Had an update recently and keep getting SDL notifications when I'm not using it. System messages keeps telling me it's using battery in the background. This is in spite of only enabling location when the app is in use. This is now an irritating and not very usable app and will have to be deleted if these issues can't be fixed.

Not a fan of the latest changes. I use it as a casual location tracker when driving somewhere to meet up with friends / family.. So don't make any use of the newly added life 360 type of services. For my casual use type the features are still there but less obvious. I can save favourites but so far haven't spotted where they get saved to. Still a very useful app for sharing location info

It's great to have the ability to keep folks at home updated on my travels. However, maybe because I am now have RCS, it no longer sends a text when I arrive. The sharing just ends. That's one of the most important features, especially for safety. Bring that back and it's a 5 star app again.
