Location Share

Location sharing for people who need to coordinate

Location Share is a Maps & Navigation app for sharing a person’s current position with trusted friends or family. It suits households coordinating arrivals, friends meeting in unfamiliar places, and people who want a simple way to confirm where someone is without using a broader social platform. The app is built around two-way participation: location sharing is intended to happen with the other person’s agreement, rather than through hidden monitoring.

What it does

• Live map updates: See a participating contact’s current location and use that information for meetups, journeys, or basic check-ins.
• Movement notifications: Receive an alert when a shared contact changes position, reducing the need to keep reopening the map.
• Consent-based sharing: The app’s central use case is mutual location visibility, with control kept between the people involved.
• Focused permissions: Location access and notifications support the app’s main functions without turning it into a wider messaging or social network.

A narrow tool with a clear purpose

Location Share keeps its scope fairly tight. It is designed for seeing where participating contacts are, not for building a detailed travel record or replacing a full communication app. That makes it easier to understand, but users looking for location history, driving statistics, or built-in chat may need other tools alongside it. The interface is centered on the map and the status of shared contacts, so it is best suited to users who prefer a direct utility over a feature-heavy platform.

Track record

Developed by P & L Studio, Location Share has reached 10,000,000+ installs and holds a 3.9 rating from 13,308 reviews. Those figures place it well beyond a short-lived experiment. Its lasting appeal comes from solving one recurring problem plainly: letting people who know each other share whereabouts when coordination matters.
