I think this is a great idea for an app, and I especially like the idea of parents being able to use this to keep an eye on where their kids are when they go off gallivanting about town.

There are loads of uses for this app from the personal to the professional, and even to the creative, as you can collaborate with like-minded individuals in your local area on a variety of projects, or simply hook up with a fellow Trekkie for a geek-out session!

Are You On the Radar?

When you first start using Radar for Facebook, you’ll be treated to a brief but concise introduction that acts as a sort of tutorial to guide you through some of the basic features. From here, you’ll need to register, of course, by using your Facebook account.

As you would imagine, the app will then use your device’s integrated GPS to determine your current location so that you can begin viewing your friends and relatives in their present locations.

Now it’s time to start adding some of your Facebook friends to Radar for Facebook, so you’ll be presented with a list of your contacts and you need to simply check the boxes of the ones you’d like to add.

It’s worth mentioning at this point that Radar for Facebook has clearly been designed with iOS 7 in mind. I really like the streamlined and thoroughly slick interface which looks great and runs very smoothly, even with the GPS functionality in full operation.
