Description

PlaceTrack is a modern, cross-platform, full-featured location journaling and sharing app, available for iPhone, Apple Watch, and other platforms, and also offering compatibility with Car Play. It keeps a history of your locations 24/7 with almost no impact on battery life, capturing data on speed, course, altitude, and user activity. Additionally, its optional sharing features allow you to track your loved ones, monitor their travelling speed, get directions to their current location, and view street-level images of any place they are or they have been. You can also overlay and compare your location or your contacts' locations against a GPX track. This can be imported from files, Strava, or Apple Watch workout routes, as the app integrates seamlessly with HealthKit.
In short:
- personal location journaling h24
- Apple Watch and CarPlay compatibility
- context data: location data can include location history, speed and course, altitude, whether you’re walking, running, moving in a vehicle or resting
- Healthkit/Apple Watch and Strava integration for GPX import
- optional safe location sharing with the people you trust, in real time
- GPX merge, map overlay and export
- POIs (Point of Interest) support and sharing
- live data: force a contact’s device to immediately send a fresh location
- passive and battery friendly: run in the background with no noticeable impact on battery life, location is periodically updated as the device moves
- you are in control: set who sees your current location or who has access to your location history with fine-grained access controls
Other features:
- excellent battery usage: PlaceTrack uses SLC mode (Significant Location Change) and region monitoring, NOT continuous background. PlaceTrack is suspended in the background most of the time and is woken up only when you move significantly (detected using cell towers signal); most of the time it just sleeps and the GPS hardware is powered off to preserve battery. Install the app and forget about it
- save your location history for later viewing
- optionally share your recent location or location history with authorized PlaceTrack contacts
- forced contact location updates: you can ask for a live location update from a contact and the backend platform will silently ask your contact device for a new location update
- delayed sync: stores your locations when network is unreachable and pushes them to the PlaceTrack servers when you're back online
- in-app streetview images
- track overlays: import route data from Apple Watch, Strava and GPX files
- location sharing works using address book phone numbers: your phone number is authenticated through an sms code on your first activation
- your data, including your phone number and location, is always sent on a secure connection (ssl) and is never shared with any third party

PlaceTrack Reviews

Never sends code to verify phone number and locks account if you request

CCJayAthens on

United States

I’ve been using this to track family on Android and IOS for several years with no problem. When I got a new phone I needed to verify the phone number again. But the code never comes through. Requested it again 30 minutes later and nothing. Deleted app and reinstalled and requested and it locked my account. Very frustrating. Can’t see a way to get service.

Very bad service

Roxana61 on

United States

I paid for the service and I didn’t receive the code for the location. I want my money back.

Crashing Issues

Worldtrotter1 on

Have not been able to use. Keeps crashing both on iOS 10 and iOS 11.

Such an awesome app

If you need something that will track your location in the background, this is it. Has worked perfectly for me for years.

AutoCheck-In Setup Failed

rocrover on

United States

The app failed when I tried to set up auto check-in. It repetitively pops up a message saying “AutoCheck-In Setup Failed - The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 5.)” Please help fix this.

Good app

Using it since Latitude, serious developer. Maybe you could introduce the metric system as option in the app? For European users. On the web you have it.

Useful tool picks up where google left off

Have been using it since Latitude was supported.

Background checkins not functional

tinhead168 on

United States

I acquired this app to do automatic check ins on Foursquare. I've been using it up until iOS 7, where it stopped functioning. The current release does not seem to automatically check me into my Foursquare places. When I try to connect with application support, I am redirected to the app download page. :/

Update for Google+ location?

ECH on

United States

Now that latitude is officially dead are u Nico going to update to work with the google+ location to have the app work or now it's just going to be only for Facebook and foursquare. Looking forward to an update. Otherwise still best app for auto checkin and battery savings

Latitude check in while using little power

Msbm97 on

United States

I have has this app installed on my phone for more than a year and like that I don't need to worry about it working. Just set it up and leave it. It will take care of the rest without eating up all of your battery.
