Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Location Share is a simple Android application that allows you to share your current location. Location Share doesn't require setting up an account, doesn't track your location in the background, doesn't auto-share it, and doesn't send it to anyone except those you explicitly tell it to. It can share your location using any application that supports sharing plain text. This includes (but isn't limited to) sharing via SMS, email, social networks, note taking applications, etc. Simply launch the application and wait until the device homes in on your location. You'll then have the option to view the location on a map, share it, or copy it to the clipboard. Please file any bugs, issues, or feature requests at: https://github.com/pR0Ps/LocationShare/issues The GPLv3-licenced source code can be found at: https://github.com/pR0Ps/LocationShare

Location Share APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Location Share APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is ba4c68188787691462f148706c82aba9.
