LOOPT App Iphone Review by Professor Appy

LOOPT APP IPHONE

This catchy LOOPT app for Iphone really keeps me in the loop. I can track the whereabouts of my friends. If they’re at a cool party or happening event, I can locate them with the GPS-enabled mapping features. And I can choose to let my friends know where I am, or I can use the privacy settings to select “who can find me”.

This is a “social-share-mapping” app as you can opt in to share your location with selected contacts, family and friends, or just fly incognito or under the radar.

Why this Loopt App makes me Happy:

1)    Easy to set up and easy to use (I can use it my sleep).

2)    Great mapping and zooming features.

3)    Super editing and posting tools.

4)    Cool alerts and updates about status of friends and contacts.

Only thing I don’t like: the “chirpy” sounds when friends ping me to let me know they’re in the locale. Winged geeks prefer whistles or Hoots.

Professor Appy recommends LOOPT and gives it:
