Q: App is no longer effective...?.?.?

FMFriends shouldn't be required to remain open or in multitasking area sense requests are meant to be made at anytime. The purpose of the app is no longer valid with iOS 7 active app requirement. I authorized friends to see me and I them whenever needed. That's the purpose of the app. It has always worked great, been non-obtrusive, and like the user guide and FAQ states: it only sends your location when asked by an allowed friend.  Now the app has to always remain open. So basically one has to call or message their friend "hey where are you...don't tell me but open the FMFriends app so I can use it like it was intended."  See how that defeats the entire reason for the app. This app was one of my favorite apps, and most useful, not anymore. Apple can no longer say "It just works", cause it doesn't.
