Share your current location
About this app
Location Share is a simple Android application that allows you to share your current location.
Location Share doesn't require setting up an account, doesn't track your location in the background, doesn't auto-share it, and doesn't send it to anyone except those you explicitly tell it to.
It can share your location using any application that supports sharing plain text. This includes (but isn't limited to) sharing via SMS, email, social networks, note taking applications, etc.
Simply launch the application and wait until the device homes in on your location. You'll then have the option to view the location on a map, share it, or copy it to the clipboard.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be ca.cmetcalfe.locationshare is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.4.1 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Location Share first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Location Share, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
