Nov 8, 2013 8:54 AM in response to 29bdeby Immortal1,Both my wife & I have the FMF app running all the time, but the notifications still do not appear for me. What a bug! Also before changing phones/OS I received notifications when the app was open or closed.

Nov 12, 2013 6:18 AM in response to Immortal1by Immortal1,Okay I've just noticed as of yesterday that I seem to be receiving a notification alert when my friend arrives at home, but not when they arrive at work. Will have to test with more locations when I have a chance.

Nov 13, 2013 10:46 AM in response to Immortal1by OzziesMAC,Find Friends app crippled after iOS 7 update... all 3 of the updates are DOA.
"Notify Me" Not working at all.
3 iPhone 4S
All with iOS 7.0.3
I am able to view all family members location as well as track but:
1. "Notify Me" for "Leaves" and "Arrives" no longer working.
2. Before when you set "Notify Me" you were able to select their current location, you can no longer do that.
now it has to be from a pre-selected location from your contact or you have to manually put in the location.
It does not matter if you leave running in the background or not and yes "Notifications" is "Enabled".

Nov 20, 2013 7:37 AM in response to buzzdriverby Immortal1,Hey everyone the FMF's app has been updated to version 3.0, so let's see if the notification issues are solved. There are certainly improvements in this new version. There is a new hybrid/ satellite map feature, and you can notify your friends now too.

Nov 20, 2013 7:43 AM in response to Immortal1by TheSubmariner,No suck luck :( first thing I did was to set up a geofence notification around my wife to notify me when she left work. I received NO alert. I tried several other ways. Nada.
*****.

Nov 20, 2013 11:10 AM in response to Immortal1by CampoDeSuenos,Still not getting geofence notifications after update. Interesting that the info just says "Find My Friends has been updated with an all new design for iOS 7." When it should say "Bug Fixes". Guess they just changed the design without actually fixing the problems.

Nov 21, 2013 11:56 AM in response to Immortal1by BradNet,I finally got this to work. Here's my procedure (and it's not ideal).
On all phones, background run must be ON for FMF.
On my phone:
Delete app
Reboot phone
On my wife's phone (yeah, this is why it's not ideal):
Delete app
Reboot phone
Reinstall app on both phones
Sign in on both.
Setup geofence via Notify Me when (wife) leaves home on my phone
Setup geofence via Notify Me when (husband) leaves home on her phone
Et voila.
Notifications started working again.
So, it's not ideal because it requires your target to delete, reboot and reinstall/signin for this fix to work. That said, if you're using it to track your kids when they're out on dates or whatever, you should have access to use this workaround.
Hope this helps!!
