Family Tracker
Family Tracker allows you to track Android or Apple iOS devices and send free text messages between the users.
It is one of the first cross platform applications, which takes a full advantage of the capabilities of the two most popular mobile operating systems to date.
Family Tracker was conceived and first developed and released for the iOS devices by LogSat Software. Due to previous successful cross platform mobile projects, LogSat selected Fibercode to do the Android development of this application as well.
Family Tracker has been a huge success and one of the best selling applications on the Android Market!

Description:
FamilyTracker allows you to track your children, wife, husband, fiancée and friends. You can now find out where they are, at anytime, as long as they have their Android phones or iPhones with them.
So how does this work?
Simple. Install Family Tracker on the Android/iPhone/iPad you want to track. From then on, you can use either a web browser or via the Family Tracker app itself installed on your own device to locate your family member.
Each device with FamilyTracker installed has the option to automatically update its location at regular intervals (from every 1 min. to every 1 hour). You can adjust the frequency of the updates on the "Settings" tab. The automatic feature can be turned on/off by the user by going to the "Settings" tab as well.
Whether the user has their automatic tracking service disabled or not you can always force an update of their location at any time.
Any time you would like to see the current location of a device you can "ping" it, which will send a tracking notification to the user. The "Stealth Ping" feature works only if the targeted device has Family Tracker ver. 2.4.4 or above.
Family Tracker does not need to know your phone's cell number to function, as it does not send SMS messages for notifications. Your email address is instead used to send free Push Notifications to the device being tracked. These notifications are free, specific to our Family Tracker application, and work anywhere in the world as long as the device being tracked has internet access via the cellular network or WiFi.
Requires Android OS version 2.2 and up.
