FriendFinder AR for Android
Field of application:
● You want to meet your friends but you are lost in the city? FriendFinder AR helps you to find the right direction.
● lost your Friends at a festival? Sure, they are in front of the stage! But where excactly are they? Find them faster, keep on rocking!
● Your friends are at the other side of the world? Hard to imagine! See them through your Augmented Reality Camera!
● You have just climbed the top of a mountain? Let your friends know how far you got!
● ...
Features:
● track the location of your friends in realtime
● share your location with your friends in realtime
● see your friends through the camera of your phone (Augmented Reality)
● find your friends on the map
● no signup/login required
● your friends need your permission to see you temporary
● data is transmitted encrypted (using AES) and anonymous
The app needs the following permissions because:
● INTERNET: locations are shared between you and your friends via a server
● ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: to check if internet access is available
● RECEIVE_SMS, SEND_SMS: location requests and location share notifications are sent via SMS
● ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: to share your location the app must be able to access your location
● CAMERA: to make the augmented reality view possible
● READ_CONTACTS: the app displays a list of your contacts to let you choose from whom you want to request the location/whom you want to share your location
Your friends must have FriendFinder AR installed on their device too to use it entirely (they will get an invitation via SMS to download the app if they don't have it while you send them a location share/request).
This App is not finished yet. It needs more work on it. It needs both parties to have eatch other in contact list. But If you have a device with no simcard (so not a phonenumber) it will not work. I also tried App2Find and that app worked better than this one.
Brilliant idea, really needed, but doesn't work on my S2 due to a dialog not scrolling; you can't accept a "share my location" request". A bit sloppy?
Crap
