Outstanding app. This lets me track my position during motorcycle or car rides/trips which is viewable on Spotwalla. If I choose to, I can also give the link to friends and family and they can see where I’ve been. It also has other features as well. The developer does a great job of hearing from users and responding to any questions and concerns and has added improvements based on user feedback. This app is definitely a must have for me and I’ve now been using it since it first came out in 2015, I believe.

Excellent app, say no more. Well actually it's easy to say more. This app is a snap to set up on the iphone, though it does have quite a few setup items that you may have to look for, just follow the instructions and faq from the author's web site.
Really simple to allow my wife to keep track of me when I'm out playing on the motorcycle. If I'm out w/o her I sometimes tend to wander alot further than she expects for one day ride, which then makes it into a two day ride. She's not happy if she misses the longer rides or any at all actually.
But not only for my wife, I can also let friends access the route live or afterwards, in case it's one they may want to ride. The ability to send messages while creating the track, mark stops or interesting locations, and even load pictures via Spotwalla once you get back to a computer is great. It is limited to being within your phone coverage area for live ytansfer but its store and forward feature sends the data after you leave the dead areas. Not as many features as a dedicated Spot tracker but if you're retired like I am and can't afford the dedicated tracker, this does an excellent job of most of what I need.
Did I say I like it? H3ll Yeah

I love this app. I have been using it for years when I travel. I quit paying for my Spot Tracker account. Why pay $160 per year when you can use this for free? Call me cheap. <shrug>
I love the custom message feature to take pictures and it shows up where you are on the map. Very easy and it adds fun for people watching your trip.

BATTERY USAGE INFO:
SWconnect uses GPS information, and as such battery use will be similar to most navigation type of applications.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
SWconnect now uses a new lower GPS accuracy strategy when the application is running in the background, however it is always suggested to use external power when possible, and to turn off tracking in the app controls during periods when you are not moving.
