Comments on Pathshare GPS Location Sharing for Android
★★★★★
This is thee best tracking system. So accurate. I can switch from street view to satellite view. This is a winner! I dumped Glimpse for this APP.
★★★★★
Hands down the best app out there for sharing real time location with others. We frequently use this for car meets and cruises, and it's fantastic! The developer is also incredibly responsive to problems.
★★★★★
Great at what it does. I use it almost daily. 5 stars if we could add simple label waypoints and an easy way to share GPS coordinates to people that don't have the app, even if we have to pay for those features. Now is a good time to take over motion x customers *hint. I know of about 18,000 fellow employees that are looking for the next best gps app.
★★☆☆☆
Great app used to work flawless.... but now won't run at all since update to android 10....on a sonim xp8.... help!!!! Only 1-star till fixed thanks update sept 16 still sits at intro screen and won't move on and skip is stalled as well still
★★☆☆☆
Crashes from time to time Crashes in tunnels and by crossing the border 🛂 and changing sim cards - the observers just say that the dot stuck at the border. Glimpse has no such problems, but instead it has this stupid 4h limit... Hope they will fix path share. Random crashes are bad especially at the border as the family following my travel is scared that I was stopped for many hours and I need to call them every time to say I am okay.
