****THIS APP DOES NOT FIND YOUR PHONE FOR YOU*** Never did. So who ever entered that comment in the reviews is silly.

- Send requests to your friends to be able to follow them on a map
- Update your location to your friends
- Text message your friends for free.

You can send messages in realtime and "Ping" your peeps (aka friends). Push notifications are required to be turned on to receive pings (aka text messages) from your peeps.
After you sign-in, the app will start sending your location to the Oi Ping server. It is updated only as you move. So if you don't move your location will not be sent. (Note: sometimes your phone GPS says you have moved when you really have not. This is due to the accuracy of the GPS signal)
Press the refresh icon in the bottom right to get the latest locations of your peeps.
To find friends tap "Find Peeps" under the "Options" button on the main map screen. Then send them a approval request. Once they approve you as a peep you can see them on your map and ping them.
If you close the app (using your home bottom on the bottom) your location will stop being sent to the server. Instead if you want your updated location to be sent to the Oi Ping server simply tap the power button on the top of your device. This will shut off the screen but still send updates to the server.
Invite your friends by sending them a email using the "Email A Invite" button in options.
