About Loc8Loc8 - Group Locator +Chat
Often wondered where your loved ones are right now (family and friends - are they all safe and where they are supposed to be)? Often waited just a bit too long for your training partners to arrive for that evening training run (are they on the way, or did they forget)? Often needed to synchronise the movements of a larger group of friends (on vacation, on a long drive, or otherwise)? Often had difficulties locating your friends on festivals (which venue are they at)? And found it impractical to call, or text, each one individually?
The Loc8Loc8 app may be your needed personal assistant for these situations - and many more! Locate and track the whereabouts of everyone you know precisely and securely as you need it, and/or chat and communicate messages that concern and belong only in the chosen context.
Form as many groups as you need - consisting of contacts being individuals of your family or friends, of your training partners, of your travelling companions, or of your festival buddies. Completely private, group isolated and secure (all invited contacts must accept each group memberships, and can leave at any time). Groups of permanent or temporary nature. Groups that can be activated and deactivated ad hoc, on demand. As you need it.
Then locate the individuals of your groups - your contacts, your family, friends or other relations - easily and securely - via your phone's built in high precision GPS system. Or communicate and chat in your groups - among your contacts, your family, friends or other relations using built in, group isolated messaging.
Only contacts who also has the app installed - and who accepts the membership of your groups - can be activated (only way to know where they are for the system behind the app to work). So get them signed up as well, and start forming active groups!
