WhenHub
WhenHub Approach allows geostreaming (i.e. real-time location sharing) for yourself and other invited participants as you approach a meeting, event or final destination. With Approach you can share and see location information in real-time, for a fixed period of time, and for a select group of people on any smartphone.
The map view allows you to see each participant's profile image and location in real-time. Everyone stays informed of arrival times without having to use unsafe text messages while driving. Approach can be used in many scenarios such as meeting people at a restaurant, driving home from work or vacation, tracking family members on a long journey, and monitoring kids on a field trip.
Participants who join the Approach have privacy settings to control their geostreaming or sharing contact details with the group. Users can also make phone calls directly thru the app to others involved in an active Approach. Notifications are sent as participants join, leave or are near the destination.

Beautiful idea with more work to do. I expect to see major overhauls as customer feedback comes through. Great core concept. Now find how the people want it and give it to them.
You will have to give them your world just to sign in.To sign in with Twitter it wants to change your profile and even post tweets for you. I want something less invasive.
This is a great service that was very much missing beforle. Thank you.
Really neat and easy to use. Worked first time.
Does not remember contacts I've already added and who acknowledged. Can't imagine adding them for every trip. Gets stuck and didn't update at all until after I arrived - kind of misses the point. Too difficult for non-techies (the people I encouraged to watch me arrive); they got frustrated.
Really wanted to like this, but it's awful. When it's not constantly crashing it just gives incorrect info. Try something else instead!
Does this app even work outside the US? I can't seem to enter my mobile number.
I'm a dirty shill and a huge fan of Scott Adams. Thus, I'll let my appreciation of his books and comics have me pre-emptively conclude the quality of this app, even if there is little to no correlation between writing and investing. 10/10
Crashes repeatedly. Setting up a destination is not very easy, and you cannot use your appointments to set up that destination. There is no frequent list of people you invite, so every time you have to scroll through your entire contacts list. I like the idea, but the current execution is to buggy and difficult to use when you are about to leave the office on the way to lunch. Which is what I expected was the primary use case.
This app was an amazing idea. It helps people see when their friends are arriving at their meeting destination. I don't have to keep texting asking "where are you" "are you almost here" I can visually see their approach. Great idea for group meet ups in cities where you're not familiar with also. Thanks so much for creating it.
After initial good run app stopped workinng. Google signin produces an error. Received links don't start approach. Def needs work. I don't get why people launch beta apps now. Its a real turn off
It's promoted by a comically insecure narcissist, so hopefully he can be effectively baited with poor reviews.
Awesome app. I was picking up my brother in law from the airport and sent over a WhenHub text so he knew when I was approaching. He said it felt like Uber.
Overly complicated Glympse clone. The original is easier to use and works better.
Wow this app is amazing. My confirmation bias is through the roof! My wordthinking is continuously lowering. I endorse this app and I will use it for my personal safety, since I live in California and it is dangerous out there!
The fact that I had an idea for this app last week but Dilbert beat me to it!
Persuasion brought me here. Works as advertised. Looking forward to the new features!
Constant intrusive notifications *after* you've ended an approach. How do you stop this app without a forced shutdown?
