I'm currently in a city, and when I open the map it gives me a circle telling me that there are 1,807 people using tile in that circle. This city population is a bit shy of 1 million, and while the circle doesn't cover it all it does cover the densest parts, so if we conservatively say 400,000 people in that circle then that means that the percentage of people with the app is about 0.45%. Now I don't know if the Life360 users are included in that count, that said I also have never heard of anyone who uses it here.

As an aside, I do wish the app were able to update more often. I have a tile tracker on my bike (and obviously the app on my phone), and I can leave a place, bike ten minutes to home, lock up the bike, go inside, and the app will often still tell me that my bike is where it was before I rode it home. I guess there's a battery tradeoff there though.
