Description
This application allows you to track Android smartphones by using SMS for transmitting the location. You can track a phone even if the Internet connection is off and so ensure continuous “trackability”. The App doesn't use silent SMS!!! Both actors must have the app installed on their phones.
You can use the app in different situations: - Track a phone when it is lost or stolen - Track you children if you are concerned about their well-being - Ensure that your friends are already on their way to you and so skip unnecessary phone calls
Be aware that SMS costs will accrue if your mobile tariff doesn’t include free SMS.
!!!You can only track people when they also have installed this application on their phones!!!

Used to work pretty well. Now just reports the same location over and over. Phone hasn't been anywhere near there for hours. Nothing changed on either phone, both report GPS data correctly. Pity. Paid for it, too.

This app does not work. Paid for premium for two phones. It will report back 1 time in 10 with a location. Great idea if it only worked but it doesn't
