Description

Wizard Clock provides a safe and private mechanism to share your location real-time with your friends and family in a fun and novel way. Your friend's locations will be displayed on a clock with your friends displaying as the clock's hands!

Wizard Clock's main display shows a clock face with configurable locations surrounding the edge. As you add friends to the app, you can place them onto the clock face, represented as antique clock hands pointing to the location your friend last registered.

Wizard Clock *never* sends your actual GPS location *anywhere* outside of your device, making it a safe and private way to share your information! You configure names to be associated with given areas. The names are broadcast as you change location, keeping your actual location private.

** DEMO USER ** Requests for the user "Demo" will be automatically approved. The Demo user updates locations every 15 minutes 24 hours a day and can be used to get a feel for how the app will work with real people.

** CRITICAL NOTE ** While this app WILL run on older versions of iOS, users must be running iOS 4.0+ in order to use background location update and cell-tower location update capabilities. This app requires GPS hardware.

Features -

- Display up to 7 friends on a beautiful clock display with configurable backgrounds.

- The main clock display disables the auto-lock timer. Leave your docked and use Wizard Clock as a beautiful and novel screen saver!

- Configure an unlimited number of friends for tracking in the full People List.

- Location changes are received as push notifications, even if you aren't running Wizard Clock at the time! (Can be enabled/disabled per individual in the People view).

- Your location is updated approximately every 10 minutes in the background, even while the app is closed! (Can be disabled in app settings to save battery life)

- Also uses cell-tower location updates to update location in the background. Cell tower location services provide a more battery friendly method to automatically update your location, but will not update as often. (Can also be disabled in app settings)

- Security and privacy options allow you to control who sees your updates.

Notice: Wizard Clock may be optionally configured to utilize GPS updates in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
