      ABOUT PATHSHARE

      Pathshare is a beautiful app that helps you share your path in realtime. It was designed to be simple to use and make realtime location sharing a safe experience. With Pathshare, you can easily setup a session with your friends and share your location for a defined period of time. You and only you are in control of for how long you want to be seen by other participants! And there is more: Pathshare will automatically stop sharing your location when the defined time expires. That’s safe and easy!

      ** Best New App on Android Police **
      ** Featured on CNN and many Tech Blogs **
      ** Received Quality Label Swiss Made Software **

      WHEN TO USE PATHSHARE

      Share your realtime location the next time you are
      • on a night out with friends
      • stuck in a traffic jam and late for dinner
      • on your way home: no texting while driving!
      • heading to a professional meeting and want to make your business partner aware of your arrival
      • want to know your kids are safe at school
      • shopping with the girls and lost them in the mall
      • skiing or snowboarding in a group and want to join on the other slopes
      • in an emergency situation and want to let help find the exact location

      PATHSHARE IS REALTIME LOCATION SHARING

      • It's fast, it's realtime
      • It's safe
      • It's exceptionally easy to use
      • You control how long you're sharing and when Pathshare stops automatically
      • Pathshare runs on your Android device, your iPhone and your web browser

      HOW DOES IT WORK?

      • Tap on the round button to start sharing your location. It's as simple as that!
      • To actually share your location, you need to enable your phone's location services and allow Pathshare to use them.
      • Please allow Pathshare to read your address book so that you can share your location with your friends from within the app.
      • Choose a time duration you want to share your location for. Pathshare will automatically stop sharing your location after this time expires.
      • Send the invitation as a link via your favourite messaging app.
      • Join a session by accepting the invitation you received from your friends. Simply tap on the link within the text message.
      • Watch your friends move on the map in real time. See their speed. See their motion activity.
      • Select a session participant from a session list to zoom to their location.
      • Switch to satellite view.
      • Zoom to all participants.
      • Read notifications about nearby participants, session joins and leaves.

      MAIN FEATURES

      • Realtime location sharing: Let your friends see you moving on the map in realtime.

      • Simple usage: Easy to set up with no accounts required. Automatically runs in background.
      • Notifications: You get notified when other participants join or leave a session, and when they are nearby.
      • Global availability: Pathshare can be used at any location with GPS and data connection. People all over the globe use it since it is available in all app stores. The app already features English and German with many more languages to come.

      I am a little concerned about the terms and conditions that seem to permit the developers the right to do anything they please with your data, however, a if you can get over that it is better than anything in this class. Can't be touched by Glympse or the express version. It's clean, simple, functional and add free, similar to the now unsupported Mobi but better.
      Marcin Dziadowiec
      Pathshare? It's rather pointshare. Almost useless if you can't define destination for your share. Take a look at Glymplse. Learn. Develop new, better Glympse. Uff. Google is finally implementing this feature in Google maps.
      Peter DO Smith
      Simple, intuitive and powerful I am most impressed by the way this app has combined simplicity, intuitive interface and powerful functionality. I would have given it five stars if this version included the Low Battery consumption eco mode of the professional version. I am training for a 12 hour trail run and it is vital that support and family can follow my progress. But the one dollar per day cost of the professional version is unreasonable for private use. I sympathize with your business needs but suggest you instead have a premium ve
      Pierre Fournier
      Nice and does what I need. I have 2 wishes: 1) Keep GPS active while a session is created/joined. I will obviously not keep my phone awake the whole time I wish to share my position! For now, I use "GPS Keep" to keep it on. 2) Add some "Update frequency" option. I only have 100mb/month and too many updates eat my data plan.

      Crashes from time to time Crashes in tunnels and by crossing the border 🛂 and changing sim cards - the observers just say that the dot stuck at the border. Glympse has no such problems but instead it has this stupid 4h limit... Hope they will fix pathshare. Random crashes are bad especially at the border as the family following my travel is scared that I was stopped for many hours and I need to call them every time to say I am okay.

      Best app I could find to quickly share location to friends Much easier to use then Glympse

      It's stopped working Used to be a 5 star rating, but for the past month or so, all I've gotten is "communication error". Good program when it works.

      Hi Richard, Thank you very much for your feedback. We had a major issue in November taking us partly offline for 3 days. This is exactly in the time range when you wrote your review. Does this communication error still occur? If so, please let us know by email pathshare@freshbits.ch.

      Great road trip utility! I recently used this app on a long distance trip and found it quite helpful in keeping track of each car in real time. It did a fantastic job and I was impressed with the accuracy it offered. I would appreciate the added ability to select an option to override my set screen time out, always leaving the screen on. If possible, different colors for each user would be a great addition. An optional night mode would help too. Thanks for making such a great app!

      Its simply Amazing. Please add "Get directions" from one person to other person's location built in the App. So I can find my Family member more easily without going to Google Maps. Thanks for the great work.

      Surely not a bad app. Liked it. But I'd like to see features of another made in Germany app One Touch Location to be integrated into it. Saving the two stars for that.

      Constant intro loop Does not allow me to even open the actual app. It has me on a continuous introduction loop that doesn't let me get out. Help?

      Hi Dessiree, thanks for your feedback. The intro is a couple of slides long, then you get to a button saying 'Let's get started'. If you don't want to look at the intro, there's also a skip button on the top right of the screen.

      Awesome app! This is a fantastic app. We will be using this with 67 users in 2 weeks for 5 days straight. Looking forward to see it perform.

      Hi Radosław, thanks for your feedback and your rating! We already have the destination and ETA feature on our roadmap which we think too will be very helpful features. If you have any further ideas, please let us know via pathshare@freshbits.ch or through the Feedback & Support within the app.

      Great alternative to the other app Just for have nearby notifications deserves 4 stars. The other app I been telling them to add this feature for yrs. SMH. Suggestions I gave the other app yrs ago they didn't add Incorporate chat heads to communicate in browser for none app users i would love that. Vibrate or alert tone if traffic is delaying user.. "Just a few ideas" Auto send to certain users through time, date ,gps, or wifi out of range.
