My wife and I use google location sharing always-on. Mostly it's used to coordinate dinner with getting home from work. Occasionally it's useful when we separate at amusement parks or other crowded venues (ie, take the kiddo to find a potty). Basically it was annoying to keep explicitly turning on, so we just left it on. There's another family that we (very) frequently travel with. We ended up always-on location-shared with them too, for the same reason. It's convenient, especially on road trips. Maybe it's because we're well-established families in our 40s and 50s but this doesn't seem weird to us. None of us cares where the others are, unless there's a specific reason to care, and then it's really useful. On the other hand, I don't understand why anyone would buy/install an app. It's built into the phones.
