@whalecoiner @owntracks I had the same itch a few years ago. The server side worked like a charm, but the Android app crashed, never started, stopped working and reported the wrong location. It's probably about time I gave it another looksee.

@NAB

a *lot* of improvements have been done on the Android app over the years, so by all means, give it a shot.

We should be releasing 2.5.1 soon'ish

Part of the problem is ridiculous limitations the manufacturers choose to apply to their distributions that can't be overridden by their users. This one, for example... I may remember to start own tracks interactively, but my wife and son certainly won't and won't see the problem as being with their phone, but with the own tracks app (or with me for asking them to install something which doesn't just work).
