Tracklings is location sharing iPhone app for practical use.
Instead of broadcasting your location to “friends”, or checking in at a location, it takes a different view. Every time you want to share your location, there is a practical reason (an event) and a particular group of people involved. Different time, different event, different people… Like business meeting one day, bike trip the next.
There is no account to be set up, no friends to be confirmed. Just name the event, select people you want to share your location from the contact list, and that’s it. Invitations get sent via SMS or e-mail and the event stays on until closed by the organizer. Each participant can leave the event any time, effectively stopping sharing of their location.
Tracklings is an honest paid app, with no advertisements, location data sharing with third parties etc. The user pays for the app, the user has control of what happens with their data. There is a free Tracklings Lite app available for people who only want to participate in events organized by others.
Tracklings can also run the whole day without draining the battery, and still provide real-time GPS location.
