A simple app that does what it says on the tin, and reliably. It's easy to set up, and would be enhanced by a scheduling function to allow messages to be sent, say, every 15 minutes in the background. This would be a useful safety feature when taking part in outdoor activities (particularly where data network coverage is poor) or working alone, so keeping others up to date with your location without intervention.
