iPhone Palringo app updated to include location, distance, and maps

Palringo has been in my opinion one of the better free messaging apps for the iPhone.  It has a ton of features that the more expensive paid apps sometimes lack, or has had those features longer than the paid versions.  The developers of Palringo are not sitting down though as a new version has been released.  Starting today, when you look down your contact list in Palringo you can see your Palringo friends’ location, in the form of a city name, as well as how far away that contact is from you.  Pretty neat feature!  Not extremely useful per say, but a fun tid bit of information none the less.  Further updates of Palringo will include an option to click on that friends location which will in turn bring up a map showing the exact location of that friend as well as all of you other contacts within a 10km radius.  I for one will be looking forward to the update.

What’s your take on more and more apps including mapping features?  Are they usefull? Worthless? Or just time wasters?  Shout out below.
