Wave
The privacy and the mobile phone are two concepts that they are still at odds with each other. However, having data of geolocation or location, can be of great help to the time to find someone, avoid getting lost, or avoid tense situations by not knowing where another person is. In an orderly and restrained manner, this information can reach to be really useful. At least that's how they put it at Wave, a Spanish location application that is getting numerous financial support and more and more users who want to find their friends easily
The key idea of Wave is being able to know the exact location of another person, albeit safe and private The reason is up to each user, considering situations such as calming the nerves of that mother who doesn't know what bars her son is in, finding herself in a tangle of streets in an unknown city , or even propose a meeting place and monitor the arrival of all those summoned. All these approaches, and others, can be given in Wave by being able to know in an orderly manner where our contacts are.
Now, Wave respects the privacy of each user. That is why its operation is based on the permission that is temporarily granted to disclose location dataThat is, a user opens Wave and launches a request to a specific contact Said request includes a timedetermined between one and fifteen minutes, or whatever the user prefers, during which time both users will share location privately and securely with each other.
The invitation becomes notification on the recipient's mobile phone, who can access Wave to accept or reject it If so, the application displays a map with the points of location of both users This way, both of you can know where you are during the set time. Something that allows them to establish an intermediate meeting point, get closer to the other's position, or even avoid each other if desired. Of course, the movements are reflected on the map in real time

Another interesting point of Waves is the possibility of sharing the location in a group This is a functionality with which to create a meeting point and share it with several contacts In this way, a whole handful of users will have of said position information, either for a party to a meeting of work In addition, it is possible to leave comments on the wall of said wave or petition so that everyone can see them read as you approach that location.
In short, an application that takes advantage of some of the qualities that most concern privacy advocates, but in a practical context and, above all, private Something practical for events in which to gather a group, although all users must have this application. The Wave application is available for both mobile Android and iOSFree can be downloaded from Google Play Store and App Store
