Apple iOS 5 review: Modest, but definitely worthwhile This, Find My Friends does through reading out a text location, and by plotting buddies on a (Google) map. After all, the primary purpose of any location-aware app is to be able to track where people are at a given time. It's also incredibly simple to navigate, part of that simplicity owing to the fact that there's not terribly much to do. Right off the bat, this is a graphically rich app, with a textured, leather-bound look in sepia tones. Otherwise you may be searching maps wondering how to activate the feature. The free app is easy to download, once you know to look for it in the App Store. One thing to note: Latitude and Find My Friends only work within their respective ecosystems. This weekend, I buddied up with some CNET friends to see how Find My Friends differs from Latitutde and which of the two apps I prefer. In many cases, it's another iOS 5 feature that's very similar to those existing on rival mobile platforms, but there are some features all its own. Apple's iOS 5 update brings a separate downloadable app, Find My Friends (shortened to Find Friends once it installs). Google has been a big believer on its Android platform for some time, integrating Google Latitude into all of its Android phones. When it comes to GPS-based friend-finding apps, you either love them or you don't.
