It's promoted by a comically insecure narcissist, so hopefully he can be effectively baited with poor reviews.

Description
Note: The play store might show this app as incompatible if the location service on your device is disabled.Approach by WhenHub, 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 participants 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.This version is a complete makeover of the Approach user interface based on user feedback. We have made the app easier to use, while also improving the functionality in a number of areas. Here is a complete list of Approach features:- View participants geostreaming on a map in real-time regardless of smartphone platform- Share invitation links easily using the messaging app of your choice- Invitees who dont have the app can choose to monitor the person who invited them using just their web browser on mobile or desktop- Approaches can be auto-started based on calendar events (configurable in Settings)- Repeat Approaches can be managed using the Favorites manager- Configurable notifications make it easy to know where everyone is and exactly when they will arrive- Unlike general map applications, Approach is specialized for geostreaming and thus has a simple, easy-to-use experience- Approach can be white-labeled for your Business.

Reviews
It works OK for me, but not everyone I invited could get it to work. I had hoped it would stop my group from calling and texting before meetings, but that isn't going to happen. Plus you have to click around on the map too much to get arrival estimates. A summary table might have been better.
The fact that I had an idea for this app last week but Dilbert beat me to it!
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.
Can't log in with a generic email address. Not all of us are slaves to social media
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
Why does the App need access to my email addresses in Google. I will try it again when that is not required
