But what if you got stranded somewhere with no address/landmark to refer to? May be you had a flat tire or met with an accident. Moby Simple Location Sharing app for iPhone could come to your rescue in such situations/circumstances. Moby Simple Location Sharing iPhone app can be downloaded free of cost from iTunes App Store.
Moby Simple Location Sharing: Features
Moby Simple Location Sharing app for iPhone is a real-time location sharing app that lets you easily share your location in one short link. Here is how it works: just fire up the app and choose the amount of time you want to share your location for and a unique link will automatically be generated for you. You can share it with others via SMS, email or SNS means. The app works with Facebook and Twitter. The options to choose the duration, the contacts to send the link to, and the way to send the link are provided on the interface. The person who receives the link needs only to click on it to launch a map of your live location in any mobile or desktop web browser. No sign ups required.
One obvious downside of Moby Simple Location Sharing iPhone app is that it drains the battery a lot as your phone’s GPS will be cranking away until you click ‘stop sharing’. Also, the accuracy of GPS is not 100% reliable, as we all know. But still you’ll like Moby Simple Location Sharing for its simplicity/platform independence. Moby Simple Location Sharing application is compatible with iOS versions 4.3 and upwards.
Conclusion
Moby Simple Location Sharing app for iPhone does a good job as far as sharing your location goes, even though the accuracy is not spot-on. You can blame that partly on GPS errors. Using the app is simple and straightforward. However, if you use it for long durations, it’ll drain your battery significantly. The overall package hence is more suited to be used in emergency situations or in short durations. Verdict: One of the safest ways to update your family/friends about your location, at any given moment.
