Much ahead of the release of iOS 5, two more applications related to it were launched. One is the Airport utility app and the other one being the Find my friends app. First of all let’s get introduced with the Find my friends app. It’s a simple app that lets you track down your friends and family just with the touch on your iPhone, iPad or iPod device.All you have to do is to install this free app on your device that’s using the iOS 5 and sign in with the Apple ID that you use with iCloud. Now just add a friend and send a request to see the location where he is put up. Once your friend accepts your request through this app, you can easily find the location through a map or on a list.
Find my friends app is targeted for all the iDevices using the latest Apple release, the iOS 5 which includes iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, 3rd- and 4th-generation iPod touch, the iPad and iPad 2.This app doesn’t work without the iOS 5 which is an essential requirement.
Talking about the second app, that is the Airport utility app, helps users to manage AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and Time Capsule base stations. You can even manage your Wi-Fi network right from your iDevice running the iOS 5.It gives you a graphical overview of the Wi-Fi networks and devices. Airport utility app works with all the Apple 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations and Airport Express and Time Capsule. This app was initially made to be used only with devices supporting iOS 5 but now there are plans to make it a standalone app as all the iOS device users might not have Apple’s basestations.
