Approach by WhenHub 2.0

Several reasons for the 1 star. First I will not give anyone my Google Twitter, Facebook account to log in. I will log i using an email address but that's not an option. Second, I don't see any information on how to use it. All I want to do is send someone my location (streaming) via text or email until I get there. It should automatically stop geolocation me after a certain amount of time that I specify. I don't see why I have to log in to do that. Big documentation holes, Big security holes. Uninstalling now.

Odd decision to require signing in with another social media platform. So you have to have Google, FB or Twitter to get in. WhenHub Interface requires Linkedin. I can see the reasoning behind it. Most of the world is on those platforms. Unfortunately, if you notice, the vast majority of popular "killer apps" such as Uber, Skip the Dishes and Skype simply require an email. It is purely psychological, but most people are not comfortable with sharing their social media with corporations. Certainly corporation have plenty of your information already, but it isnt a rational choice. This is a stunning lack of insight from a man like Scott Adams who teaches psychology and persuasion all day.

It's ok but definitely needs work on the user interface and bugs that cause multiple crashes. After reporting crash data numerous times via helpful pop-up, I finally stopped submitting and ignore the pop-up. User interface is a bit clunky, menu has item called "share approach" which I (and others) had wrongly interpreted as "initiate and share an approach" when in fact it means "share this app with someone". Yes I know you can use the "+" icon on map to create an approach, but you should be able to do that in menu too. It's not obvious how to "redo" previous approaches (including list of participants involved last time) and a very simple thing like switching between map and satellite imagery is buried in a "settings" menu instead of a simple layer toggle ala Google maps style. Map gestures such as 2-finger tap to zoom out are annoyingly unreliable, half the time it either scrolls or does nothing at all. Same gestures on Google maps work instantly and reliably. I downloaded this app because (at the time) Google had discontinued location sharing. I wanted to easily share location with family members for limited periods and since I read Scott's blog, I saw this app. However Google maps has reintroduced location sharing with specific people for user-defined time period. I've been experimenting with this and if it works out may return to Google maps instead of using this app. All Google needs to do is allow groups to share location with alerts for proximity and this app may become obsolete. Of course this also depends on extent of integration with other whenhub apps and value added from those.

Constant intrusive notifications *after* you've ended an approach. How do you stop this app without a forced shutdown?

Beautiful idea with more work to do. I expect to see major overhauls as customer feedback comes through. Great core concept. Now find how the people want it and give it to them.

I like it because I like Scott Adams. I am testing the app now. I'll let you know. Also, Scott's girlfriend is insanely hot.
