Find my friends App

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
The find my friends App in the iTunes App store uses GPS to determine the 
location of one or more friends and displays the results on a map. There is a 
similar App for Android in the google play store. 

Does this App work if some of my friends are on iPhone and others are on 
Android? If not does anyone know of an App which will work on both iPhone and 
Android? 

Note that I am not concerned about the VoiceOver accessibility of the App as it 
will be used by my sighted wife. 

Many thanks.

Is there a good, Accessible alternative to the Find My Friends App here in Europe?

[Michael Busboom]

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, I learned about an app from Geoff Waaler, and I wanted to install it 
on my iPhone.  The app to which I am referring is called Find My Friends.  
When I went to the link that Geoff provided, I was told that I couldn't 
download it because I was not authorized to download things from the US App 
Store.

I then went into the Austrian App Store directly from my iPhone and did a 
search for the App.  One result came up and it was a gratis App called Find My 
Friends and I from a company calledFastWhere.  Is anyone familiar with this 
program, and can I use it to know the whereabouts of friends using the Find My 
Friends App from the US iStore?  If not, does anyone know of a program that is 
equivalent and would exchange information with Find My Friends?

If I am not mistaken, Find My Friends is an App developed by Apple.  If this 
is the case, then I am wondering why it is not available here in Austria.

Finally, I will be going to the States later this month for an extended visit.  
While I am physically present in the States, will I be able to purchase Apps 
from the US iStore?

Many thanks,

Mike
