Location-aware social network finds your friends
In the future, your boss will always know exactly where you are. But why wait; sign on to Loopt, recruit your boss to do the same, and you’re already living in Tomorrowland. Loopt is a location-aware social networking app—it uses the GPS chip in your 3G iPhone (or more crudely, with the cell tower location data in the first generation iPhone) to place you on a map and to show you where your friends are and what they are up to. It’s essentially a social network for the mobile set, allowing you to link up with friends and contacts and then mutually share location information.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:
GPS OFF
Although the concept of being able to know exactly where all your friends are is great. This app failed to meet my expectations as it was not able to provide updates of location at any time. You were required to select only two options. Startup and after a certain distance. The GPS was off on the app as well. I was sitting in a vehicle moving with another iPhone user and our locations in loopt were different; even though we were in the same vehicle.
Is good
