Flares is a free iPhone app to share location by sending flares. According to app’s description, it is a new age messaging app which makes sharing location with anyone pretty quick and easy. The coolest thing about this app that whenever you share your location, you will see a real flare, with amazing sound being sent to the recipient. Even the recipient receives a real flare on his / her iPhone screen.

When you share location using this app, the app calls it as Flare sent. Each of the sent flare is available for 60 minutes to view for the recipient. Whenever any recipient taps on flare to view the location, then he can view the location for 40 seconds, before it expires from phone. The app lets you send unlimited flares.

Note: It is necessary that the receiver also has this app installed on his iPhone or iPad to receive flares.
