Ever wasted valuable time looking for someone at an event like a needle in a haystack or had trouble locating a family member you are meant to be picking up from the airport? Find my Friends is a brilliant app which allows iOS 5 iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users to locate their friends and family in a crowded place, or even find out if the kids are home from school.
The locator application is iCloud dependent and has countless possibilities. Find my Friends will provide you with maps and distances of where your loved ones are located, saving time and the energy it takes explaining your exact location. It also comes with great features such as temporarily share your location with a large group of friends, privacy options for those who may not want to be found and parental restrictions.
If you want to experience all that the Find My Friends App has to offer, all you need to do is:
1. Download and install the app HERE.
2. Log in with your personal Apple ID.
3. Click ‘OK’ when asked if Find My Friends can send you Push Notifications & Location Sharing.
4. Press the ‘+’ button to add friends, then enter their email address.
5. If they accept, you will be able to see their location.
It’s compatible with any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 5 and that has an iCloud account. And for now, is completely free to download.
