No, but it's always been a hit-and-miss app for me. I only use it with my parents and wife, but it's not always reliable.

Find my Friends uses cellular data to determine the location of a user. With Verizon (iphone 5) if my wife is on the phone find my friends always comes back with location not available because we don't have data and talk at the same time.

Hmm, I thought it uses Location service (GPS and WiFi). Even with WiFi OFF - it shows my second phone - location not available...
