If you mean the mobile "who's nearby" thing, I'll def be opting out.

Yeah the GPS on your phone/ipad does that, but I believe the app wont use the GPS data down to that level.... probably just be the local town etc

Only if I can control those occassions I want to opt in - like the "meet today" flag, ideally with similar time out options!

Hmm - not much use if yer in a closed knit community then. And if it only goes down to city name, no much use either - glasgow is a big place. Lol

I fear that it may encourage some stalker like behaviour! I will be opting out

I've noticed a lot of people will opt out of it. So is there any point of having it and if so why it would just be the same as browsing if it's only going to name a town or city u live in

Looking forward to it, use the facility on other sites and found it actually encourages initial chat.

It says summer but wasnt that the 18th of May at around 1pm? im sure thats when summer both started and ended and the winter began again

Depends how the feature works. If its ridiculously accurate im opting out as ive already had a guy msg stalk me so giving away my exact location is asking for trouble. If it just gives someone a "within 1mile" type information i might use it but ill wait and see if it happens

Most of these location softwares only work on the distance parameters ie listing users by distance rather than town etc and by how the fly crows so a guy in the next town from me appears further away that the guy across the water

It will be interesting to find out so I'd probably find out first before opting out of it tbh

I'd prefer an "opt in" rather than it being there for all with an option to "opt out"

and if it's used properly then I can switch it on whenever I wanted to!

Thats possible on iphone by enabling location services or not, usually it will give a pop up anyway saying bla bla bla want to use location, allow or not ?

I'm sure it's a similar setup on other phone's, would be a nice change though to be the hunter instead of the hunted so will take up your kind offer

I think it's a great feature , but suggest it is only available when u 'browse' as a temporary opt in feature. I do like the idea of being in , say , a car park or hotel/pub and being able to communicate with likeminded horny fuckers!!!!

I use a similar feature on another app and it just gives you "username 1 mile" Just gives you some idea of the distance and is as the crow flies. Never gives exact location. If your GPS is enabled then it's quite accurate but if you turn that off then it relies on which cell tower you're connected to and then it can be roughly a mile out.

I haven't heard of anyone being stalked through use of these services as they never give exact locations. If you're in the only house for miles and you use it then its quite easy to deduce!

I dont know if I'm allowed to mention it, but Badoo already uses this feature with its app.

Its quite good - it just tells you the town the person is in and the distance from you. The lowest displayed number is "1000m" which in old money is almost two thirds of a mile.

I do recall a gay pal of an ex with an app for meeting guys that had the full map thing going on , think thats a bit too public !
