GeoShare – Fast And Private Location Sharing

1. Great idea and super useful. I see lots of potential for this application so I like it personally. its seems like Google but little bit different from this.

2. 1.Visit https://www.geoshare.us. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you.

   I actually do not understand exactly what the product is. I went to your site and I had no idea what to do or what to click on. The only link that I could see to click on was the “contact us” link. I assumed by looking at the picture and the steps, your service is some kind of locating app using cell phones or iphones. Then I started clicking all over the page, trying to find where the link is into the rest of your site. Once I was able to find the hidden link, I started reading about your product or service. I then realized that what I assumed your service was is correct. You download a app and use the iphone to locate friends and family and for yourself to be located by others.

   2.Download the app. It should be available in the next few hours on the app store here.
   Direct link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geoshare/id398395304?mt=8

   According to the site, it states that I have to download itunes in order to get the app for GeoShare which is the product that you are advertising. I did not download it due to I do not deal with itunes or anything else along those lines. Also downloading it would have done me no good because I don’t own any of the following: Cell Phone, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

   3.Please give us your honest opinion on :
   •Does the product fit in your daily life?

   No because I don’t own the things that the product is used on. I don’t own any of the following: Cell Phone, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

   •Is the product easy to understand and use?

   Sorry I was not able to use the product.

   •How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?

   I do not know due to me not having any apps of this kind to begin with.

   4.Please let us know if you have any other feedback.

   When people first go to your site, you need to have the link to the rest of your site stick out. Such as something like “for more information click here” or “to check out our product click here”. Anything is better than nothing.

   I think you should have a “FaQ” link for common question that people ask. I had some questions about the product and I couldn’t find any answers.

   I think having to download iTunes just to use this product would turn people off to it. Not everyone likes using iTunes. When people are interested in using a product, they want to use that product and not have to commit to other products just to use that one.

   I think your site looks very professional and I think it’s really good that you show your “customer reviews” but I do question where is it that I can go and make a review had I have used this product.

   Overall the site is good and the product sounds very useful. I just think you need to change a few things on your site in which I mentioned above.

3. 1. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you.

   I understand what the product does… but why would I want to do it is something else… Then I started to think if there were any situations where this type of application would be handy, and I thought of a few cases… such as at work, when you need to control where your employees are, or for parents that need to know where their children are at a given time.
   It may also be handy if you’re meeting someone and running late because you can’t find the location… maybe your friend can give you directions based on the place you are.

   2. Download the app. It should be available in the next few hours on the app store here.

   Not available yet, as far as I can see.

   3. Please give us your honest opinion on :
   * Does the product fit in your daily life?
   No, not really. As I said previously, I can see that it may come handy and useful in certain situations but nobody likes to be controlled. Fortunately for me, I don’t even need to be controlled and I don’t need to control anyone.

   * Is the product easy to understand and use?
   I can’t tell as I haven’t seen the whole application. Yet, if it is as easy as the home page indicates, I think that it should be very easy to use.

   * How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?
   I think the goals are different. The location software I know allows you to share your location but it also shows you services and businesses around you. I find that useful as I don’t share my position with others. Now, being able to find a gas station nearby… that’s a plus!

   And then, the closest thing I used is the navigation software that allows me to arrive on time to my appointments!

   4. Please let us know if you have any other feedback.

   As I said, I can understand that I would use this type of product in certain situations. But not everybody likes to share their location. Yet, if this service is not only about sharing your location to a friend, but to help you find your way to a particular address, or to find a services or business near the place you are at that moment… then, that would suit and appeal those who want to share their location or and to those who don’t.

4. 1. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you.

   I have to disagree with what the previous reviewer said, I understood within the first 15 seconds exactly what this app does. It is clearly written on the web site and described in 3 sentences. Does the product interest me….yes. And because of that, I would be inclined to download it. Does the web site get my attention….not really. In writing these reviews for various companies, and looking at countless web sites, I think that I learned one thing…I want the website to attract my attention, I want to want to use the service just because of looking at the website. I know that none of your questions that i need to answer are directly related to the presentation of the website, but I think that it’s important. Everyone uses that gray/light blue color, and that is okay if your using another color on the website that “pops” The purple goes together nicely with the the white and gray, but nothing on the website really pops out at you. Just a suggestion. Maybe a hint of neon green somewhere…it goes well with the color palette and gives an extra hint of color.

   2. Does the product fit in your daily life? I am going to say that it doesn’t necessarily fit my daily lifestyle, but that is because I am a stay at home mom. However, it would definitely come in handy and is an interesting app to have. I do think that I would use it, especially when I am actually out of the house, doing shopping or going somewhere. Will def come in handy when I don’t know where I am, I can just send my location to my hubby and he can help me out:)

   3. Is the product easy to understand and use? It is very easy to understand, one of the more simple apps that i have come across. I hate when you download an app and you don’t ever use it because you can’t figure out how to use it. This application was very easy, just go to your contacts, send a text, and it’s done! Super easy to use.

   4. How do you think this app compares to other similar apps? I actually had an app like this before and didn’t like it at all. It showed my destination, but only to people that I was friends to on that particular network! How stupid is that?!?! But I like that you can use this app even if they don’t have it downloaded on their phone. I also liked that it has other features that you can kind of play around with too. The map is very clear and accurate which is nice….it’s not like a gps that hasn’t been updated.

   5. Please let us know if you have any other feedback. Overall, I think it’s a good app. Is it good for everyday use, I would say not, but that is not to say that someone would not use it everyday. Really the only problem that I had was with the webpage itself. But, I do have to say(even though everyone does it these days) I don’t like the fact that you can only use email when contacting customer support. Even though I don’t think that many people will be contacting you for support, it is always nice to talk to a person. Call me old fashioned, but i’m only 29 and remember the days when a cell phone was bigger than a phone book and had to be used on the car. So, though technology has come a LONG way, why should customer service?? A friendly voice is great to hear every once in a while. But, do I have any complaints about the app itself. Absolutely not. Great idea, and definitely something that I and many people I know will enjoy! Great job with this one!

5. I do understand the features of this website. It allows you to share your location with friends. This sounds interesting and can be useful when people get separate and are trying to find each other
   I was unable to download the application

   I am not sure if this would fit into my life. Everyone that I know and want to know where I am, already know this information. I also think that this is another way for others to know where you are at all times. I know that when you say stop, the application will stop and someone will not be able to see your location, but what about privacy? Can’t others monitor your whereabouts because of this application?

   Since I was unable to download the app, I can’t answer this question

   How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?
   I am not sure if this app compares to other sites. It can be compared to GPS systems that are on the phone to locate a house or business.

   I would probably add a feature to let the customer know to click on the app button to learn more about this site. I also think you need to have a little more explanation of what you do to pique the potential customer to keep reading and learn more about your website. Maybe add a FAQ on the homepage or a about us. Something more to draw in the reader.

   Additionally, does the customer need to have Itunes? I know that not all people have this app and don’t want it. Maybe have it would you can download right to the phone and bypass going thru Itunes.

6. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you. I completely understand what the app is all about. However, as interesting as it may sound, I don’t think I would ever want anyone tracking my movements in that way.

   Download the app. It should be available in the next few hours on the app store here. I have downloaded the app to my iPhone. It downloaded within seconds. Upon reading more about the app in iTunes, I discovered that once I have send the text message, I can turn the service off when I am done to remove myself off of the grid.

   Does the product fit in your daily life? I could see where this product may fit into my life if I were in the city or somewhere else and I wanted to let my friends find me if we were split up or separated for some reason. However, otherwise, I don’t think it is something that would fit into MY daily life.

   Is the product easy to understand and use? Definitely easy! The explanation on iTunes explained everything I needed to know.

   How do you think this app compares to other similar apps? I think it’s extremely comparable. I am sure that this app will be a hit with the younger crowd. Those that are out on the town partying, or shopping. It’s FREE to, so that is a definite plus for me when downloading apps.

   Additional Feedback: Upon further reading and studying the app, I did learn that even if you forget to turn off the search, it will automatically turn itself off to enable your privacy and battery. It does run in the background so it will decrease your battery life. There are very fews apps that I allow to do that.

7. Visit https://www.geoshare.us. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you.

   When I vistied the site like the instructions said I was able to understand perfectly what this site was about. It is about an app that allows you to pick certain people to know where you are at all times. Instead of having every one know your where abouts perhaps you only want one person knowing where you are.

   Please give us your honest opinion on :
   Does the product fit in your daily life?

   This product would not fit into my daily life at the moment. It woulld be great use for a parents with kids that like to rebel. However i do not have kids right now, in which case There is nobody i need to know there exact location of.

   Is the product easy to understand and use?

   It actually is completely understandable. This app comes with three simple steps to follow. If everyone can do this youll be working with the app in no time!

   How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?

   Most of the other ones i have heard of allow everyone to see where you are. This one however gives you the ability to pick and choose who you would like to see where you are. For example if a kid had this maybe they only want there parents knowing.

   Please let us know if you have any other feedback.

   I think this app stands out from the other location apps and websites.

8. Geoshare is a good application to be tracked. Its like a GPS thing that allows you to tell your current location to your friends, family even to your boss who wants to know your location at every second.

   As I understood its quietly a problematic app. too. As you don’t want to tell about your current location but some one sent message to his/her number using your phone in your absence and now he/she is tracking you wherever you are.

   I visited the website and right away, I was able to clearly understand what the site was about.

   I downloaded the application to my phone.
   •Does the product fit in your daily life?

   This product would fit into my daily life. My daughter just turned 11 years old, and I think this application would be good to make sure I always know where she is. I think this application can work well with teenagers who are not disruptive, and rebels.

   I think the product is very easy to understand, and someone who is not very phone savy can understand and operate the application.

   •How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?
   I think this application can offer alot of good, especially for kids who are doing after hour activities, the parents can know where the kids are. There should be something however that will allow the user not to pick who can see where they are. The parents should have an option to override this feature.

   Overall, I think the application is a great asset to today’s world, both for kids and adults, in this everchanging digital age.

10. 1. Visit https://www.geoshare.us. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you.

    Your logo and tagline, coupled with the easy-to-understand 3 steps, combine to make an effective homepage, with very little copy. I easily understand what your product is about.

    3. Please give us your honest opinion on :
    Does the product fit in your daily life?

    Without a doubt! I use both Fourssquare and Gowalla and find the interfaces annoying. I also hate having to share my whereabouts with massive amounts of people instead of the people who actually matter!

    Is the product easy to understand and use?

    Absolutely. I have friends and family who span both ends of the tech and social media spectrum. Tech geeks who are always connected, and reluctant Facebook users who play Farmville. This app is easy enough to understand, and yet interesting enough, for both groups (and in between).

    How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?

    As I mentioned before, I love that I can easily select who I’m sharing my location with. I also love that a registration is not required. Too many apps require signup online first, which makes it difficult to explore new apps on the go (the whole point of having an iPhone!). Also, the interface is much easier to use than Gowalla or Foursquare. Simple, fresh, and useful – all I can ask for in an app.

    4. Please let us know if you have any other feedback.
    Not everyone wants to spend 20 minutes on their phones in social media apps. Geoshare makes it easy to get in and share the info you need with the people you want. So ridiculously simple. I can honestly see this app going far…SO much easier to use than Foursquare and Gowalla.

11. Visit https://www.geoshare.us. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you.

    I do understand what the product is suppose to do. The site tells you how it works. All you do is choose someone from your address book. Send them a text message, and then they can track you with the iphone app which is your product.

    Download the app. It should be available in the next few hours on the app store here.

    Please give us your honest opinion on :

    Does the product fit in your daily life?
    For me it does. I live in a rural area, and the weather is bad here expecially this time of year. This product would allow my husband to be able to find me if we get stuck in the weather, broke down etc. With us living in such a rural area, I travel daily 50 miles one way just to go to the store, bank, etc.

    Is the product easy to understand and use?
    Yes the product is very easy to understand, even for the not so techinical savy. That being said, most people that have iphones/smartphones do know atleast a little bit about the technical area.

    How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?

    There are many applications that have similiar outcomes. That being said, this application has several benefits that the others do not. You can share with others who is you have granted access to watch you, you do not have to register, and it is so simple even a child could use it. All the other applications are not nearly as simple. I think that alone is a great marketing technique for this app.

12. You know this really,really good for the smarts users only. And it can also track your friends far from you. But there is some problem on this.

    1. This is only for 1phone, touch screen and other upgraded phone, but how about the other phones, are this can available to them? you need to upgrade this and convert in to other version it’s more accurate to the other phone.s

    2. It’s like GPS or Tracking Device. But it can show the wide range location not only exact place where the texter will see? Upgrade in new form and to be more useful in others.

    This is my opinion so if it’s yours to accept this?

13. Let us know if you understand what the product is supposed to do and whether it sounds interesting to you.
    This is an Apple App tracking device, allowing friends a family to follow you. Yes this sounds interesting if you perhaps want to keep track of kids or just follow someone who may be traveling to an area they are not to sure of. Before moving to the next question, I wanted to say that I had to assume to click of the app button on your website. There was nothing indicating that’s what I should do. That maybe a little confusing to someone.

    Does the product fit in your daily life?
    As of right now this product doesn’t fit into my daily life as I don’t need to track anyone right now. If my children were a little older I may find it necessary but right now, no.

    Is the product easy to understand and use?
    Yes, the products seems very easy to use and understand. You just type in who want to from your contacts list and allow them to track you in real time. Simple.

    How do you think this app compares to other similar apps?
    I like how there is no registration and you can limit who is tracking you at a given time.

    Please let us know if you have any other feedback.
    One immediate draw is that one has to have some of Apples pricey phones to be able to use this function. I like how easy it is stop someone tracking you and how it will turn off automatically after a while to preserve the battery. All in all it sounds really great and easy to use but not everyone can afford the higher end phones.

14. The app is pretty cool. I would use in my daily life. I like it because it is different from other apps. To me its easy to understand when I am trying to locate someone. I like this beter than the apple app.
