Looks a lot like the app PigeonMe that does this for individuals and groups Pigeonme.com

You could argue this is more of a feature than an app. Google Now is exploring some of this functionality. But they got someone to invest. I’m just wondering if Google can’t eventually do this themselves and add it to Google Maps.

Why should I get this app when I have you rushing me? :P Nice concept but probably won’t be very effective. When you’re not around, setting up the alerts will probably make me run later than I already am. And babe, you have to admit I’m getting better at being on time!

I love this idea and will definitely be downloading the app. It’s got a safe driving spin too because you don’t need to text or call anyone to update them – just focus on the road. My only question would be if it works with NYC subways. I can’t count how many times I’ve been on my way to meet a friend, then my train stops for no reason (well, sometimes the loudspeakers give a muffled, impossible-to-understand reason) and I have no way to tell them I’ll be late because there’s no service. I’m assuming it won’t be able to automatically update the recipients without service.

If you are outside the US be advised this app is only available on the US iTunes store.

Why on earth did someone invest $6M in this? Is there a business model that I am clearly missing? This seems like a nice-to-have app, like Apple’s find my friends, not a full on business. This craziness has to stop eventually.
