Friendjectory allows you to see where your friends are right now. App uses iPhones GPS receiver and WiFi / 3G to send and receive friend location data. You can add as many friends as you like and see all of them on the map at once.

Please note that the accuracy is highly depending on GPS and network connection quality. You can look at friends GPS accuracy to determine how accurate is the current position by tapping on friends bubble or looking at accuracy circle around friends location. If your friend appears in wrong location then most probably it is caused by a bad network or GPS coverage.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Please turn off background location updates in the apps settings if you are experiencing battery drain problems on your iOS device.

FEATURES:
- Support for ipad 3G
- Location updates in real-time;
- Update significant location changes in background (iPhone 4 and 3GS only);

Pros and cons of Friendjectory app for iPhone and iPad

Friendjectory app good for

Very useful app, but I can see there are some area can show improvement.
No option to remove a message that you pinned to the map. No option to have iMeet run in the foreground but allow the screen to turn off to help preserve battery power. Screen is always on or app stops if you allow phone to autolock. Significant Location Changes in the background only work if phone is actually powered on. Dont work if phone autolocks or sleeps. Promising app, but needs refining. For what my wife and I use this app for, it works very well. Update: Adding another star. Significant Location Updates working better than thought, just by generally using the phone causes SLCs. And despite huge battery drain, app is useful for when my wife is coming to puck me up after work as we have a car charger. I can see the potential in this app and looking forward to future updates. Author also quickly answered questions.
Pretty koo app does what it says! Cant expect any less! There still is potential to make it better but thats what updates are for! I can really see this app become big! Awsome job!!!!
iMeet is the best from all the on-line friends apps that Ive seen so far. Push Notifications does work, GPS is working precise (well, that depends on iPhones receiver and location) and everything else works as expected.
This app is excellent, keep to "meeting" friend on your iphone. Id like a chat preview, design like massages app, it should be good! Keep going!
This app has great potential, the fact that it uses google maps is a great +++! I already emailed all my friends about it, I hope future updates will add facebook support.

Some bad moments

Under IOS 4.2, location services are always on when iMeet is installed, even when the app is not running, resulting in rapid battery drain
Location services stays on causing huge battery drain. Had to turn location off for this app in order to shut it down. Its stays on when you close the app. Even phone reset wouldnt shut it off. Please fix!
It makes the battery last in few hours couse the localization function is always on
Nice concept, but did not work for me. My friend always appeared offline even when she was not, also updates your location in realtime, however there is a huge lag time for those people you are tracking. All in all, GREAT concept, just not there yet. Google Latitude is free, however, it to does not track your contacts in real time, and has none of the features of imeet. With that since niether one really works, the edge had to go to Google. Free always wins.
Have not tried the app yet, but tried to set it up and found that the buttons at the bottom of the screen have not been encoded to work with VocieOver. I am blind and VoiceOver is my only way of usinng my iPhone. Please create a PROPER version of iMeet that is accessible to ALL, one that works with Voice Over. I bought this app so that if I get lost from friends and loved ones, they can ffind me or I can find themm. Without VoiceOver working property, it makes the aplication almost useless.
But until you enable directions to from friend , I wont give a higher rating!
