Location Sharing Without Battery The Drain

Posted May 18, 2011 at 4:18pm by iClarified · 5352 views
Tracklings 1.2 helps you organize an event by sharing your location with other participants, but unlike common "I am here" applications, Tracklings gives you full control over who participates and who and when can see your location and status updates. Everything is based on the event.

Create events on the fly - a few simple clicks starts an event, no account or login required. Invite participants from your contact list and you're all set! Close the event when you no longer need it. Your position is shared only by other participants in the same event and only while you choose to be active within that event (even when Tracklings runs in the background). You'll always know who else is active! Once the event is concluded or you decide to leave it, your location is no longer shared.

Tracklings allows up to 10 participants (including the organizer) in a single event. Invitations can be sent via text or e-mail.

Tracklings is a paid app. There are no ads and no usage of your location data by third parties (or any other hidden revenue model). The user pays for the app and gets full control. A free "Tracklings Lite" app lets users participate in events created by others. After this weekends' special offer, Tracklings will be a Tier1 paid app.
