PlaceTrack for Negative User Reviews
✓ Never sends code to verify phone number and locks account if you requestI’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..Version: 3.8
✓ Cannot log in......to google when 2 factor authentication is enabled. Known bug for weeks, no response to support emails. :-( UPDATE: the app got updated, but not fixed..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Nice but...At least under 4.1 only updates when I manually open application was hoping it would update in background so latitudes trending features would work again.Version: 0
✓ Awesome, just what I've been looking forI've been looking for a good Latitude app that will update my location in the background. This one is it! Update: it is no longer updating Latitude in iOS 4.1.Version: 0
✓ MmmmmWaited a long time for this app. Very nice interface but buttons are a little fiddly. Big drain on battery and made my phone very sluggish. Had to uninstall but will keep eye on reviews to see if I'm alone or it's a recurring problem!.Version: 0
✓ Fart app. Will this be fixed soon?Can't stress how upset I am. Core app ability to update location has bugs and there's no reason to leave this app running. This app updates location only when i am about 6 blocks+ away from my last location which is useless. Turned on debugging and this app self restarts alot. Note to author, please give up updating location based on cell tower because that simply does not work well in the real world. There is a reason why google latitude on the blackberry updates periodically. Do fix this app to update location periodically and allow user configurable intervals i.e. every 10 mins or less if the ios4 permits. Sorry to bash this but for now this app is in absolute fart app status - no joke.Version: 0
✓ Stops updating in iOS 4.1Works ok for a while, but regularly stops updating about halfway through my daily commute (I don't have data dead spots... I can stream audio the whole trip...). I am running iOS 4.1, so maybe an app update will fix things..Version: 0
✓ I feel sorry for this developer, Google made this app totally unnecessaryI'm glad this developer did this app because it provided a service when Google would not. Unfortunately for him, Google has now added a free Latitude app rendering this one obsolete. I don't see anything in this app that makes it better than the free one from Google and I've used both. Thanks!.Version: 1.4
✓ POSWhat a piece of dog feces. This app is a ripoff because my friend's location still shows the old location of our apartment we lived in three months ago. Whenever I check on his location while he's on the other side of town, it still shows the old location. Fu*k you placetrack!!!.Version: 0
✓ Does not work in iOS 4.1Does not do anything in the background in iOS 4.1 I have to launch the app manually to see my updates. Update to software was released today and does not fix anything. Warning: Don't waste your money. Developer also has not responded to me..Version: 0
✓ Updates onlyBe careful the description gives the impression this works with google latitude but it won't retrieve your friend updates unless through facebook and fsquare. For me this is now a wasted download..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Update for Google+ location?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.Version: 2.4.2
✓ DoesnBeing this is a paid app and it was purchased for life and death use - IE, tracking an elderly relative (else what is the point of the app? Knowing where your friends are is a case of phoning them, you don't need to track them on a map!), then a payment should be offered by Apple to the developer so he or she can in turn refund the customers. Again, this is a mission critical life and death use app, and so must work or be refunded..Version: 0
✓ Does not work on iOS 4.1Does not auto update the location on iOS 4.1. Wish I had known this before I wasted my money.Version: 0
✓ Can't log in to googleDoesn't seem to work with 2 step auth, no idea why all other apps for google services work just fine..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Better then google app but no 2 step loginBattery life much better then google latitude app. More options. Seems more accurate. Update: still like this better then google's app but it will not login if you enable 2-step verification on google. The application specific passwords do not work. Would be 4 stars if they fix that..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Not as good as LatitudieDoes not use the native Latitude API. No option for updating at fixed intervals (you have to rely on iOS location events) Buggy.Version: 0
✓ Very bad serviceI paid for the service and I didn’t receive the code for the location. I want my money back..Version: 3.8
✓ No background 3GBackground doesn't work on 3G. Only 3GS and 4. Want money back!!!.Version: 1.5
✓ AutoCheck-In Setup FailedThe 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..Version: 3.6.3
✓ Not working as expectedBought this to update my location so my wife could see where I am during commute via running, biking, or car. I have the latest iOS. Crashes constantly and does not update location as expected in the background unless I manually bring the app to the front. Very disappointed. Allow the google app to get through Apple!!!!!!!!.Version: 0
✓ No Google Latitude FriendsI have had lots of trouble with the Google Latitude App so I purchased this one thinking I could use it instead. However It does not show your friends but will simply update your location on Latitude..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Background checkins not functionalI 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. :/.Version: 3.2
✓ Crashing IssuesHave not been able to use. Keeps crashing both on iOS 10 and iOS 11..Version: 3.8
✓ DisappointedHad high expectation for this app but it just doesn't work as advertised. Whilst it may be issues on Apple side or Developer side (as the developer does point out an apparent iOS issue) but the fact still remains the app doesn't work well. It seems to work randomly (for example, I moved places 3 times, at least 15 miles apart over 3 hour period but the app showed I was still at first location 5 hours ago - which is as good as useless to know). The same apparent random reporting from friend's & partner's iPhone & the app. Also even though the settings was set to highest accuracy (10m) & longest GPS duration, the actual location reported was half a mile away (advertised "find your lost iPhone" - with that level of accuracy, I don't think so). So all in all, it had potential but performance is poor. Perhaps much of what I noted above could have been resolved if the app had option to force manual sync, say intervals of 15, 30 or 60 minutes, as depending on cell tower changes to log updates don't work in UK..Version: 0
✓ Was good butIt doesnt work anymore gives me a network status error.Version: 3.8
✓ Does not auto checkin to FacebookThis would be an absolutely excellent app but the whole reason I got it was for its ability to auto checkin to Facebook. I have tried absolutely everything and it will not work. If you want it for four square then that works perfectly! Can't wait till this is fixed..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Perfect (update)Great app works perfectly.... Sorry after a few days off use vie discovered this app does not detect cell tower switching properly. I can travel miles and it does not update most off the time. If you added user selectable timed updates this would help..Version: 0
✓ Does not update in backgroundBoth my wife and I purchased this app and it doesn't work. need to constantly open app to update. Waste of money in our opinion. We deleted app.Version: 1.3.2
