PiLc - secure location sharing
Free AppAbout PiLc - secure location sharing
Created as a privacy centered alternative to Google Latitude, PiLc is a secure location sharing and device tracking platform with end-to-end encryption, so you can safely share your real-time location with your family and friends, and track a lost device from your desktop browser.
PiLc uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that your location data is only made available to whom you publish it for. We accomplish this by storing decryption keys on your mobile devices and nowhere else, so even the PiLc servers never store decrypted data nor decryption keys.
We stronly believe that real-time location tracking data is very sensitive and should never be made available to anyone that is not extremely trusted, and that existing location sharing platforms simply don't provide the necessary privacy guarantees.

Since Latitiude is no longer in it's old form, I really like PiLc. I had to reinstall my Mobile phone and I already have an account for PiLc, but i was shocked to see on re-installing PiLc, I have to create an Account, there is no Login for existing Users. Please create a Login for existing Users. After updating to V2.0 the app will not start, crashes on start-up.

Was very good replacement for latitude. Pilc has stopped working over 10 days ago. Website not accessible either. Have the developers pulled the plug? Any response from pilc please?
