FAFAM! Family & Friend Tracker

FAFAM! - Friends And Family Around Me!

Pronounced "fa-fam".

"A Private and Reliable People Tracker!" - Netsmartz.net, LLC

"I use it to see if my wife has left work yet. I follow her and the kids home via Google Map and distance meter. It notifies me when they get close." "I also use it to receive notifications when a close friend is at Myrtle Beach at the same time we are but neither of us would have otherwise known it!" - Wayne Smoak, Creator

So, how can FAFAM help you? From anywhere in the World, follow loved ones as well as friends where ever they go. This app tracks and alerts you when you're within 1/2 mile of a each other. Example: You and a friend "just happen" to be at the same place at the same time but neither of you realize it. FAFAM alerts you! See each other on a Google map. Parents, track your child to and from school or your elderly parents to and from the doctor. Teens, see where your parents and friends are. Turn the map off for those you no longer trust or simply do not wish to share your location with (such as an old boy friend).

Let's face it-OUR LOOKS CHANGE over time. You and your "old friends" SIMPLY ARE NOT likely to recognize each other after years of change! Let FAFAM help! Friend each other on FAFAM and let it notify you when you're close to each other, whether it's the supermarket, beach vacation, cruise, ball game! Anywhere in the world!

No spyware, ads or spam. It's reliable, private and simple to use! And it's FREE!

You control everything 100% in a PRIVATE NETWORK. IT CANNOT BE USED TO STALK! You decide who to connect with and who sees you on a map!

FAFAM runs quietly in the background of your phone. Works 24/7/365 - ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

Your account is good for life, even if your phone is stolen, you switch companies or lose it. Drop it in the water? No problem-your account remains in tact on our GoDaddy servers! Helps locate your lost phone!

FAFAM may be slow at times and may even stall. If this happens, simply refresh or change screens. Please understand-GPS technology is steadily improving, but it has a ways to go!

At times, FAFAM will be very accurate and "quick!" (e.g., clear weather) Other times-it'll be off the mark a little or slow. Please be patient! It may take 1-2 minutes for the GPS receiver in your phone to interact with the 4+ satellites above to triangulate your location. GPS IS AFFECTED BY CLOUDY WEATHER, BUILDINGS OF ALL SIZES, TREES, INDOORS VS OUTDOORS, SATELLITE POSITION, ETC. It may churn and churn when affected by these.

How to use:
Important: Please connect with 1 or more people right away!

2. Download FAFAM from the Google Play Store. Create a profile account. Use HELP for PW requirements.
3. Use the in-app screen to email invite one to many friends!
4. Use the INVITATIONS screen to Accept, Reject (quietly) or Ignore.
6. Touch the yellow bubble on the "USER'S NEARBY" screen to see your friend's location (via red pin if they've given you access). Zoom to street or building level! Touch the red pin to see your friend's name. The blue circle is your location; the blue triangle is you en-route. The blue line is the shortest route between you and your friend.
6.a. A notification alert will launch when you and any friend are 1/2 mi from each other.
7. Long-touch a name on the MY FAFAMs screen to allow or block their ability to see you on a map. GIVE MAP ACCESS ONLY TO THOSE YOU TRUST! Block all others! (but you sill wish to get alerts for). Delete to terminate those you no longer trust at all.
8. If a user's last updated date/time are in the past, they're in stealth mode (logged out).
9. Distance is as the crow flies.
