Google Latitude App Back In The App Store, You Can Download It This Time

Well, that didn’t take long for Google. After last week’s mysterious appearance in some international App Store and a rapid removal minutes after that, the official Google Latitude app is here and it’s available in the US, too.

The Google Latitude app allows you to automatically share your location in the background using iOS 4, or tweak the privacy settings in-app and decide to manually your location, and share it only with some people. The app features Retina Display-ready graphics and it even comes with pull-to-refresh in the main screen to update your friends’ location. Guess Loren Brichter’s gesture gained a few fans over time. Google Latitude also enables you to add friends via email address, from your iPhone or Google Address Book and browse “suggested friends”.

Google Latitude is free and available here. If the app doesn’t show up in iTunes yet, download it via the App Store on your device.
