Status - auto status updates for Android
Helps my wife and I know where each other are when needed. Cuts down on the "where are you" texts and when she doesn't answer when she's not near her phone. 12/7/14 still love this app. Wife discovered you could only create 6 spots. Wish you could create more. When you can do this, this app will instantly be better than 4square. 1/14/15 still like the app, however the wife's app on ios/iPhone5 is starting to have issues. It will not update her status. She's told me that it crashed 3 times. 1/24/17 still using this app. Now have mother and sister in law participating. With mother in another state it is always nice to know that she is always where she normally goes. Few weeks ago I left my phone in co-worker's car. Was able to find out where he was using wife's phone to get it back when my phone was set to silent. I do wish that there have been made some visual improvements over the years. It still looks basically the same.
Love this app. Does exactly what is says. Only issues I seem to have is that notifications seem to stop when my phone's (Droid Force) memory is low. Otherwise this works GREAT!
It needs an update though. Or a bug fix. I don't always get notifications on my phone.
Verification code is not received even after 15 minutes
Does not update locations anymore
I havent used it yet but I wanted a soapbox to step up on and ramble and quote stuff didvit all for the nookie, for the nookiez , u juz grab mah cookies , just leave mevalone nothings gonna chamgev you cant get away and I wint ever change so take this cookie snd shovebit up your bleaah! Yrah ! Ok but all is ok save I get a post or pm or txt or we daily asking me to give the celltower lat n long that x cellular number is currently terminating at,if I turn up asterisk pbx will I get debug tracert
Great app! Except my mother showed up at my house the other day on my day off because she saw I was home.... lol Awesome when on vacation with friends. Easy to keep tabs on a large group. Perfect to know how late someone is going to be when you're meeting up with them instead of calling and texting every 5 mins.
I really like the idea of the App and actually found it because I had the same idea :-) ... Anyway I think it is currently too transparent, I would love to tune the settings globally and per contact as sharing where I am on a map makes it unusable for me. I constantly travel between two different parts in my country as do many of my friends and it would be nice to just tell my friends the region I am currently in but not more details.
The concept of this app is great. What I think it needs is the ability to see where someone is when they're driving instead of it just saying driving
Missing a widget so I can keep tracking for a special person like.. little brother or grandmother.
Works well but please change the name to something a little less common.. It's hell to find it on the play store or app store for other people like my mom.
Notifications are broken! Update: notifications seems to be working again.
Great app, hard to find on app store tho. Maybe needs a new name to get popular?
Any way to connect to Facebook? I heard it's possible on IOS
Now we are talking
have the app also for you to know what they're doing?
I was constantly being interrupted in meetings and frustrated when people texted me while I was driving. Thanks to status, now they know what I'm up to before they call!
I never received the text/code
why canot open.
the concept is definitely great, but : 1) noone needs a "chat" in apps like these. making it a default tab when looking at a contact is an especially strange move. 2) places not "resolving" to street addresses simply don't work (take airfields, for example - these are clearly defined objects, but still i can't get the "work" badge to work with them !). it's a shame, hope this app will still move in the right direction. UPD : great decision about the chat tab ! appreciated a lot :) unfortunately, the problem with "non-resolving" addresses persists, i'm never recognized as "at work" when i'm at the airfield.. :( all in all, steady progress, that's great !

Really helpful to share info with family and really close friends. Keep it up!
Excellent
Update: Will be option in next version. Revised rating to four stars. Status is revealing to other friends the friends who you are currently with. This despite the fact that these two groups of people don't know each other and never opted in. Great stalking tool! I didn't believe it till I saw a screenshot!

Add an option to directly start navigation from the friend's map
The previous crash on Nexus 6 has been fixed!
Love it !
Amazing update .. I've many ideas for update .. I wish share it with you
Regarding improvements, I would like to be able to trigger a status via a NFC tag (ie. Driving) as I do not use Bluetooth. Please also add the option to set a radius for a location, as the pin keeps resetting to the nearest road. Custom statuses linked to specific calendars would also be useful, instead of just meetings. A homescreen widget would also be great so I can see a specific contact's status quickly.
This app is looking great. I think it will be even better as they add new features.
how to delete a contact from this app only one contact i deleted her from my contact but still she is in my status app list.
Great potential! Even shows when people are sleeping, dunno how lol! Would love to see a widget on the future!
I love how it is so seamless. My family uses it all the time.

If we could make custom actions with status based would be perfect.
Absolutely love this app, we have the whole family on here. It's perfectly simple, and just plain works. Highly recommend as a must-have app to help keep your family and friends safe and connected.
This is a very nice app. However there is scope for improvement: Add Widgets to homescreen Also put a confirmation prompt while adding new friends, Also show local timezone for friends who are in a different timezone.
The app is frequently crashing. On the top of that (or because of that) it's also frequently not updating its status.

Good way of keeping close friends or family updated on location. Not people outside of that though due to privacy & safety. For people not as close I'd recommend Glympse. Both have their uses though. Status is ideal as an automated solution. Glympse as a manual option with lots of settings & options.
