Yes, I use it and I think it is pretty cool. Mostly, it is just a quick way to navigate to what I need on my smart phone without having to open the app folder, find the app, navigate to the item of interest within the app. It also integrates nicely with calendar events and Google Keep. You might be able to use it (in limited capacity) without sharing location data.
