Literally every iOS device on the planet has Messages.app installed by default, which supports sharing location with the people you're talking to. So what does your app do differently?
Something I can see it that it takes away the friction. If you see a constant stream of all of them the inevitable ping-pong messages of "where are you? share your loc" will be gone. And the moments of someone going quiet for some minute(s) will not be as annoying.
That being said I don't see myself using this app - seems like a hassle and as you said it just adds another app to keep track of.
Maybe its a generational thing. I'm in my early 30s.
The people I'm likely to see regularly and want to share my location with, I just have allowed to see me via Messages/Find my Friends. If I'm going to meet someone else, I just do the old fashioned thing and ask where they want to meet, and then go there.
I'm in my late 20s. It might be a personal thing, I have just been in the situation where I am meeting someone and the "1 minute delays" are enough to cause friction and I (personally) don't like that.
And I have no experience with Find my friends, maybe that's the same case.
