Latify for Google Latitude (v. 2.8.0) Разработано eCommit Consulting Services |
Latify is a feature-rich Google Latitude client for Android, supporting offline sync, background GPS updates, user location sharing, history visualisation and tracking and much more.
Be in charge of how you use Latitude. Set Google Latitude in manual mode and let Latify control you battery usage and avoid draining your battery with pointless and inaccurate updates. Decide for yourself when to use GPS / WiFi and when/how it should syncup with Google Latitude. Integrate with Tasker/Locale to autoselect the best location update strategy.
Runs quietly in the background. Syncs your location changes either in realtime or delayed. Republish your current location at a user defined interval when stationary. Make sure your friends (and Google Latitude) always have an up to date view on your location.
Latify can also sync your location changes in realtime with a Google Fusion table, allowing you to share your location with other (even non-Latitude) friends.
You can disable the realtime updates to Latitude when roaming abroad, or when running on a low volume 3G or GPRS data connection. Latify can automatically sync your location updates when a WIFI connection is available, avoiding unnecessary costs. Upon arriving home, or at the hotel, use your free WIFI connection to upload all your location data to Google Latitude.
Allow Google Latitude to get a more accurate view on your current and past location changes, resulting in a more accurate analysis of your time spent (at home, at work, places visited).
Features:
* Record,synchronize or publish your user location changes in real-time to Google Latitude.
* No need to keep Latify running in order to record location changes.
* Easy-to-use profiles (driving, at home, travelling) help you determining the best location polling and location update strategy.
* Convenient homescreen widgets for selecting location profiles, or specifying location polling intervals
* Tasker and Locale integration to automatically switch your location polling profile (when in your car use GPS, when at work use WiFi....)
* Record location changes using either GPS or WiFi/3G
* Toggle gps on/off option on each profile. (to avoid wasting battery when indoors).
* Visualize & replay your Google Latitude location history on a map. Never forget where you were on a particular day.
* Insert / remove past locations to/from your Google Latitude History
* When abroad, disable real-time updates if expensive roaming data rates apply. Instead, record your location changes on your phone, and as soon as WIFI is available, upload and synchronize your location changes to Google Latitude.
* Share your location via email, SMS, Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz.
* Share either city level or street level details with Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, SMS or e-mail.
* Option to fall-back to Cell Tower / WiFi lookups when GPS is disabled or times out.
* Option to force Latify to use WiFi/3G based lookups only.
* Re-publish your last known location at user-defined intervals when no GPS signal is available
* Choose to store your location updates on your phone without sending them to Google Latitude in realtime under certain conditions (no 3G / WIFI connectivity).
* Push your location updates in one shot to Latitude (ex: when a WIFI connection is available)
* Use GPS in your car, WIFI at home or at work. When abroad, choose not to sync in realtime, but rather use delayed sync when cheaper or free internet connection becomes available.
* Save and/or share your Google Latitude location history to a KML/GPX file.
* Option to auto-restart Latify polling / sync services on phone reboot
* Google Fusion Tables integration - Send your location changes to Google Fusion Tables
* Quick Location History navigation / playback via progress bar

[2012-09-15] Yueshie: If it could set 1s interval it could be wonderful |
|
[2012-09-15] Alex: It works :-) |
|
[2012-09-13] Mark: Pretty average I gave up on this app a couple of years ago and carried on with Google Maps. Now I've switched to Backitude which is perfect. |
|
[2012-09-12] Bill: Used to be a good, but now requires Google Docs I purchased this app and was happy with how it performed and the responsiveness of the developer. However, the app now requires access to Google Docs to function. I do not use the functionality of sharing tracks via Google docs, so want to use the app in the "old way", but this is not possible. I have written the developer at least 4 times, but have heard nothing back, so I am revising my review of the developer's responsiveness: now 1 star because I cannot get a hold of the dev. If this app would allow me to use the base functions without allowing access to my Google Docs, then I would be happy again. |
|
[2012-08-18] MrK: Not sure why this app must have permissions to read contact data... Uninstalled, bit suspicious... |
|
[2012-07-20] Larry: Cotten37388 Great app |
|
[2012-07-07] Radoslaw: Does not work. Does not work. |
|
[2012-07-03] Wei: stopped updating The program worked fine ay first then it stopped polling for new locations. Only by changing profiles on the fly did I temporarily fix this issue but that's only when i noticed it. I've lost a couple of days of latitude updates as a result. I'm on the LG Optimus V. |
|
[2012-06-18] Josh: Great idea ...NEVER works correctly...chosen settings never seem to be applied right...HORRIBLE. |
|
[2012-06-12] Radek: Does not do what supposed to Gives me message "No location markers found for given period". I try it for two weeks. Gps receiver always on, I was traveling to the different places. I do not know why it dpes not work. Samsung Galaxy Tab |
|
[2012-06-01] Roy: Adds some great features but a bit fugly I'm glad I bought it and I love the extra control I get over Latitude particularly the polling interval and the minimum distance option. Its bad point is that it looks tired, all those icons need to go! I'm not fussed about integration with Fusion tables or storing data locally while abroad while I wait for a WiFi connection. If you use Latitude it's worth having, if you're just after sharing your location then go for Glympse. |
|
[2012-05-10] M.: Offline Google Latitude tracking when roaming abroad! Can do post updates to Latitude so data roaming is not needed when travelling. Unfortunately a bit ugly interface. |
|
[2012-04-25] Shyal: Bad I'm disappointed, cannot determine local services like google maps or Facebook can. Cannot do automatic checkins as advertised. Slow. Unintuitive ui. History feature limited to one day only. Want a refund. |
|
[2012-04-24] Ken: Fusion tables is cool. The algorithm in google maps for updating location works better than the one in this app which gives lots of locations in the same place when you are stationary and too few when moving. However, recording data in fusion tables is cool because it is easy to play with the data there. |
|
[2012-04-24] Staffan: Excellent app I use it with Tasker to switch profiles automatically. It's marvellous to be able to go to Google afterwards to see exactly where I've been in the past. |
|
[2012-04-23] jonboon: Used.to be great Something about the latest update prevents my phone from going into deepsleep by triggering an rilj wakelock. Confirmed by freezing in titanium and deepsleep returned. |
|
[2012-04-18] Pete: Take control of your location. Lafify is a neat program that publishes your location based on either GPS or cell tower location based on a specific interval that you set. For me, it works perfectly if I set it to GPS only. I have the galaxy s2, so it can barely triangulate a signal based oncell towers at all. this program shares my location accurately. |
|
[2012-04-18] Doug: Must have Must have for all google latitude users. Only problem I have is that suggested checkins don't work anymore. |
|
[2012-04-16] tsr: Not impressed On a phone with a poor gps chip the works a lot worse than stock latitude. Will keep it for the offline reporting but I have little hope that's worthwhile. |
|
[2012-04-13] Benny: Don't work offline My understanding is that the app gets all the data (GPS or Cellphone Network (triangle)) without data connection (eg offline). It doesn't work at all. It cache / sync nothing. I don't read anything if it possible to operate the app beside from Google Maps (with latitude). Good that it cost not a lot so I don't waste a lot... |
|
[2012-04-12] johnny2678: Latitude should have been this Could use a UI update, check-in feature, and the ability to 'steal' location info from existing Geo apps if they are active. Otherwise, works as advertised. |
|
[2012-04-11] Dan: OK but Incredibly Complex You need to manually change profiles making it feel like a Foursquare app. It is possible to automate but you must purchase and set up two other apps to do it. Frankly, it's just too much of a bother. |
|
[2012-04-09] Koli: Best latitude client I love it! |
|
[2012-04-07] Ency: Great I can't see my friends location. But I love offline sync feature and I definitely use it on my holiday.. Also works great on ICS |
|
[2012-04-05] Tino: Trip sharing not working on Google Apps Nice app if you want to control when your location is shared. Not so nice app if you want to use it what I bought it for, sharing my location during a trip. You need fusion tables to work (from Google) which does not work if you are using a Google Apps account. That makes the app a whole lot less interesting :-( |
|
[2012-04-01] Alexandru: Needs improvements The ideea of the software is great, only it needs improvements. The interface looks old, not alligned to the newest version of Android, profile settings don't always stick and many others... I only purchased it because it has offline recording, in comparison to Backitude, which is a great simple free software. |
|
[2012-03-24] Kumar: Privacy issues are being resolved Developer very responsive regarding users' concern over new permissions. The app can be trusted. Update (promised by dev) to bring info and option for docs permissions. Don't panic folks! |
|
[2012-03-23] Harin: Permissions. If you want to keep the app download a security program and block the stupid permissions. |
|
[2012-03-19] Dan: Permission fail Was great, now requires contact data, err no, there is no reason to have that. |
|
[2012-03-15] Mattias: Google docs? Clarify please. Can you read any doc? If so it's a major privacy invasion. Here is an app that knows where you are, who you know, and what you write... |
|
[2012-03-09] arogen: Does what it says Makes latitude even better |
|
[2012-03-09] Art: Works great! Gives you the flexibility to control your GPS and power consumption. Makes latitude as good as glymspe, maybe better. Use with Tasker to really see the power of Latify. Excellent support! |
|
[2012-03-08] Fabiano: money well paid does exactly what is written here. Works beautifully |
|
[2012-03-06] Strapples: Great app Latitude on steroids that is all I can say this app is the best thing Dev is a great talker too |
|
[2012-02-22] KING: Perfect! Does what you wish latitude did, seamlessly, with very usable UI. |
|
[2012-02-20] Steve: Regular and RELIABLE updates This is really what Latitude should have been. Latitude has always been a bit hit and miss with the updates, whereas Latify allows you to schedule updates anything from every 30 seconds to every 12 hours, or whenever it senses a movement, which you can preset from 1 metre to 1 kilometre. It really is fully functioned and a super duper app. Well done to the developer. 5* |
|
[2012-02-03] Jacky: Good for battery saving |
|
[2012-02-03] kail: Love it Especially the tasked integration. |
|
[2012-02-02] Richard: nice app |
|
[2011-12-27] John: Works Great Set Latitude to manual update and use this! It makes Latitude useful. I love the accuracy options and Tasker integration. |
|
[2011-12-26] Brandon: Tasker Bought for use with dashboard. Really like the beta dashboard feature! |
|
[2011-12-06] jenainai: A MUST HAVE Installed the free version 3 months ago and forgot about it and the info exceeded all expectations without battery or data drain on ATRIX, Awsome !!! |
|
[2011-12-06] Wildcardspades58: Awesome App Just the fact that it does live recording, syncing, and integration with FusionTables puts it ahead of any others. |
|
[2011-11-30] Sue: Misinformation is worse than no information Don't know if it's Latify or Latitude or the network, but when this app is installed, it puts me at a location 50 miles from where I am, doesn't update when I drive and doesn't seem to work as advertised. Will uninstall. (D2) Droid2 |
|
[2011-11-22] Bob: Works well. Worth the cost. |
|
[2011-11-21] Chris: This will be very helpful for my friends and family to track us during summer travel. This is the real time updating feature that Latitude is currently missing. I love the history map feature. Developer is very quick to respond to e mail questions. Very useful, I highly recommend |
|
[2011-11-01] Gerd: Great app Works like a charm. Every latitude user should have this. |
|
[2011-10-26] Lighthouse: Great App! This is perfect. I really like the Tasker integration. |
|
[2011-10-10] Webreaper: Awesome Allows me to control location sharing via my Tasker profiles. Great already, and promising future. |
|
[2011-10-10] poglad: Love the new dashboard feature! |
|
[2011-10-10] Mircea: Excellent app! Must have app when traveling abroad! Easy to use and very useful. |
|
[2011-10-08] Russ: Ok Ok Doesn't switch to driving profile when in car on bluetooth. Doesn't switch to home profile at home. Gps/wifi only option would be nice. |
|
[2011-09-12] B.Maximenko: Flexible, battery saving. Developer responds quickly. First app I've purchased. |
|
[2011-09-09] Matthew: Fantastic Had technical questions, and dev responded almost immediately. App has been great! Does exactly what the description says. Buy! |
|
[2011-09-04] John: Desire HD Saves so much battery and is extremely flexible. |
|
[2011-08-29] AndyCr15: Battery saver Great app giving you control of your Latitude updates. Amongst other things, can make you great battery savings. |
|
[2011-08-22] Mark: This app does not do what it says on the tin. That or Google Maps ignores it. Just a battery burner. |
|
[2011-08-22] Dave: Solved most of my google latitude problems. App has frequent updates based on users suggestions. Excellent email support. |
|
[2011-08-17] Cubezero: Fantastic This app is fantastic and any help needed from the developer was very fast. This program is a massive improvement over the google app that doesn't allow posting to social media sites. Great work Davy!!!!!!! |
|
[2011-08-17] luculuc: Awesomeness in action The app keeps on improving, making it an essential android app. Very nice, handy and well done! The dev is awesome, always willing to help! |
|
[2011-08-17] Thomas: Great Developer Commitment I reported a problem (on here) and within 12 hours the dev was in touch to find out more details. All SW devs should take this much notice of feedback, great customer service. Bravo. |
|
[2011-07-29] TechFreak: Awesome work! Very cool app. The polling widget was a great addition. I look forward to more great features to come! |
|
[2011-07-19] Scott: awesome app, dev very generous and attentive to user needs. wife and I use this to track each other, and widget to save batt with dynamic sample rate |
|
[2011-07-15] Tim: Makes updating my wife on where I am at a thing of the past:-) |
|
[2011-07-13] the-one: Excellent. Well done and easy to use. I like it. |
|
[2011-07-13] hippy: Used effectively during 24hr bike race. Battery lasted the whole time unlike 7hr using MyTracks. Job done. |
|
[2011-07-08] Stormfire: Pretty distressed that it worked fine until 9PM of the purchase day, and hasnt been able to pull my location since... |
|
[2011-07-07] Andre: Great app with huge potential for the future! |
|
[2011-06-26] WazupBomb: please stop changing my settings after every update! :) |
|
[2011-06-24] DrWig: If you use latitude, or just want to track where you've been, this app is a must have. Great purchase :-) |
|
[2011-06-12] Rasikh: Works great, beware if time is off by more than 10 minutes, google will fail to authenticate |
|
[2011-06-07] norberto: Maybe the best app for tracking your location I needed an app for tracking my location when running in the background at anytime. This app does exactly what I wanted and as some other happy customers said, the user support couldn't be greater than the one provided by the dev. The dev replies to emails almost on the fly and is willing to consider any feedback for further improvements on Latify. I'm looking forward for some new features that I hope to see on this app any time soon. Definitely a 5 star app,best money I spent so far on the Android Market! |
|
[2011-05-30] Alex: Provides key feature missing from Google Latitude The regular latitude app does not use gps for location updates when running in the background and you cannot choose the update frequency. Latify provides both of these features - you can force gps tracking on a fixed schedule, and the location data synced can then be viewed in any regular Google latitude client. GPS use does use up battery life, but if being used to track a specific event reduced battery life is often acceptable. Works well, developer responsive and helpful when feedback left. |
|
[2011-05-15] Rasikh: At first it wouldnt run, but that was resolved. The support is super good, as if its a mission for the developer to resolve your issue. Runs great too |
|
[2011-05-14] WazupBomb: Great! Works well with screen off on droid x on gingerbread. Widget would be sweet..or if it could automatically detect when it is in a car dock! |
|
[2011-05-06] thamer83: Runs in background and updates when its told. It works. |
|
[2011-05-01] the 5/5/2011 : awesome app, needs simple 1x1 widget to switch profiles, also let me name them and ditch cheesy icons in the setup screen |
|
[2011-04-18] the 5/5/2011 : Updates even better great great app ..u need this app |
|
[2011-04-18] Ruben: Updates even better great great app ..u need this app |
|
[2011-03-10] Inquisitor911: Just what I was looking for! Works perfectly. |
|
[2011-03-09] Jason: Decided to give this a second shot. Seems to be working right now. Will update after a few days. Evo |
|
[2011-03-08] Dennis: The notification icon cannot be disabled, but will always show. a bit annoying |
|
[2011-02-12] Sarah: Complicated and doesnt seem to show my location |
|
[2011-02-12] sarah: Complicated and doesnt seem to show my location |
|
[2011-01-29] habbekratz: like the accurate background updates , my location is always up to date and replaying your history is also a nice feature |
