Hey everyone, long time user of HN, first time poster. Made an Android app over the weekend to help you find your friends with one click. Tried to focus on simple design principles, uses Google Maps to display location and navigate.

Let me know what you think :) Obviously this app needs you to find someone else to try it out. Or you can find me as 'tony'

Hi Tony,

Congrats on building and releasing this.

I can't test it for you, and there is my feedback: from the description, I can't tell exactly what the point is. The screenshots suggest it's like the retired Google Latitude? What makes this app different? Why would I want it? The description says I can meet new people? So can everyone see where I am? Is it for friends or strangers?

Anyway good luck! And all the best.

Hey! I didn't realize that my app listing was so ambiguous! I've updated the description to address some of your points and added a new screenshot that details the notification aspect of the app.

Check my other comment to see a little more on how it works. Thanks for the feedback!
