Before the official launch of iOS 5, Apple launched the application in the App Store Find My Friends with the help of which we can share our location and find out the locations of our friends. Basically, Apple tried to replace Google Latitude, foursquare and other services like this, but I think that mostly everything turned out to be a failure. I have not seen the Find My Friends application praised by Americans or Europeans, and in Romania it is quite certain that very few users use it for anything. I installed it when it was released, played with it a bit and then deleted it because I don't find it useful.
Find My Friends allows you to easily locate your friends and family from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Install this free app on your iOS 5 device and sign in with the Apple ID you use with iCloud. Adding a friend is easy – just send a request to see their location. Once your friend accepts using the Find My Friends app, you will then be able to see that friend's location on a list or on a map. You can also choose to share your location for a limited period of time with a group of friends. Use Find My Friends to keep track of your traveling companions when you're on vacation. Or to see if the kids are home from school. Or to find the friends you're meeting for dinner.
Apple now presents it as the best application in the social networking category of the App Store, and on the one hand it seems normal to promote its own applications. I don't think that the decision to promote it is related to the popularity of the application or the number of downloads recorded for it, but it is an application made by Apple. Did you use the Find My Friends application even after the initial testing?
