Found yourself hanging around a friends place and want to invite them for a coffee at a local café or want to meet up an old friend but you are unaware of the locality? Grab your Android phone and hit up the “Address Finder” app. Address Finder as the name is quick and efficient way to share your current location with anyone, be at a childhood friend who just could make up to your social circles or a new client whom you want to plan out a lunch with. Moreover you can also share interesting places with your friends on multiple platforms and also add custom messages along.

The light interface gives a quick launch to the app for everyone who hates to wait. In the first look, the concept and design of Address Finder looks pretty much familiar and easy to start with if you have used Google Maps. The app heavy relies on Google maps for rendering maps and locating you by making use of device’s GPS and WiFi or mobile data whichever is available.

Within a snap of seconds the app locates you and gives a view of everything around. You can later choose to have hybrid version or stick to the 3D view. The multi touch for map rotations and compass work just as we are used to and expected. Unlike the traditional way of pointing to a location, Address Finder brings in a more efficient way of pointing to a location having the details displayed with just a quick tap on the map and a bubble window pops out with the exact address up to street level. A quick tap to a nearby area will switch the location pointer and that’s pretty much easier to handle for precise location selection rather than the difficult and time consuming approach on other maps applications. Once you have placed your location marker you can share the location with default sharing options on your android device including a copy to clipboard action that allows you to paste it anywhere. Not to forget the quick share options include sending location by messaging app, mail, Dropbox, Bluetooth, Drive, Facebook, Google search, notes, share via barcode and more. The availability of the variety of options can help you stay connected to people in every way they are comfortable or just in case they have accessibility restrictions to some services in their work environment.

All in all, Address Finder is light and simple app that’s not something out of the box, but definitely a useful utility for people who socialize, go new places and need a quick and reliable way to share the locations of choice. Address Finder makes itself available Freely on the Play Store, so get going and give it a shot.
