Description

Ever bad this back and forth conversation?
Friend: "Hey where are you?"
You: "I'm in the park, uh, near that one tree"
Friend: "Wait, the tree where we finally found your shoes?"
You: "No not that tree, the one where" (blah blah blah)

Well NO MORE! LocSMS lets you send your current GPS coordinates via SMS to any number. The recipient will be able to open the link if they have any smartphone made in the last few years.

You can kind of already do this with the built-in map function but it'll try and give you the closest address which doesn't help if you're in the middle of a park, a large outdoor concert, etc.

Features:
* Google maps embedded so you can actually see what you're sending.
* No ads, no 'lite' version, just a useful app.
* No unnecessary permissions like other similar apps. You maintain control over where/how text messages are sent.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

5 ★Terbaikkkk...
5 ★This is awesome
5 ★mantab gaannn
5 ★Excellent
3 ★Works ok. Seems to be coming up with the right coordinates. Will not send the sms since I changed the default messaging app to hangouts. I try to send,it asks about changing the default app. I say no. It goes back to the map. Not good. Just send the sms using current default app. Great idea tho. It's what I was looking for except for the one hitch.
1 ★It works great, but it disables Google earth,maps,latitude.The only way to re activate the google services are to clear the cache of LocSMS or un installing it,which I am doing now.fix this,I'll rate you 5.
2 ★I was looking for coordinates, not a link to Google maps. I want the basic. Keep it simple
1 ★Could not get the location data to transfer to the text message. Motorola RAZR M
