| Submission declined on 30 October 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Pythoncoder 15 days ago. | |

iSharingSoft
[edit]iSharingSoft, Inc.[1] is a software company headquartered in Irvine, California, that develops the mobile application iSharing. The app provides location tracking and safety communication tools. The company was co-founded by Yongjae Chuh and Reese Cho and launched in 2010.
History
[edit]The iSharing application was developed by co-founders Yongjae Chuh and Reese Cho, who launched the app in 2010. The initial development began as a side project to create a location-based tracking tool.[2] It gained early popularity in South Korea, primarily through word-of-mouth, reaching over one million users by 2015.[3]
The company established a Korean subsidiary in 2015, followed by the incorporation of the U.S. corporate headquarters in Irvine, California, in 2016.[4] The company received seed funding of $40,000 in early 2016 from Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator.[5]
The user base expanded internationally, reaching 60 million cumulative downloads by July 2025.[6] The company operates on a freemium model and reported annual revenues of approximately $7.2 million in 2024.[7]
Market and operations
[edit]In a 2025 interview with Tech Collective, CTO Yongjae Chuh stated that the company's growth to 60 million users occurred primarily through word-of-mouth rather than paid marketing. The application operates in over 250 countries with interface support for more than 21 languages.[8]
The company operates in the location-sharing market, with a focus on family safety.[9] In September 2025, the company introduced tiered subscription plans using a freemium model, with basic features available at no cost and premium subscriptions for additional functionality.[10]
Products and services
[edit]The company's main product, iSharing, is a mobile application available for iOS and Android devices that provides GPS-based location tracking, geofencing alerts, and emergency notifications, with premium subscriptions offering driving behavior analysis and extended features.[11]
Technology and intellectual property
[edit]iSharing holds U.S. patents related to location-tracking technology, including Patent No. 11582585 (2023) and Patent No. 11140519 (2021), which describe methods for reducing bandwidth and battery consumption during location updates.[12]
Privacy and security
[edit]The application uses an opt-in model for location sharing and employs end-to-end encryption for data transmission.[13]
Recognition
[edit]The application was featured as Apple's App of the Day in South Korea in April 2025.[14], has been mentioned in publications including Forbes[15] and included in educational materials about digital safety tools.[16]
