In my family we call this the stalker app. It's very good for finding out where specifically where someone is, even in malls and other places you might not expect GPS location to work all that well. (Thanks surveil– I mean wifi!)
It is a system where you have to give permission for people to see your location, and you can revoke it at any time should you wish, but it's still real creepy. The good for us (knowing where the immediate family is at pretty much any time) outweighs the bad, but I wouldn't dream of sharing my location like this with a friend – even a very close one – let alone strangers.
