It does seem like an interesting idea. The big problem I have is one of privacy as I would be uncomfortable with submitting my location data (even if anonymized) to an offsite entity.
I would hope that you have an easily accessible "kill" switch to turn off tracking.
Coincidently, I was just considering what would be involved in creating such an app for myself. My curiosity was piqued when I cam across the Super Day app.

This app was created to answer questions that are not possible to easily answer now, like "What are my top 10 restaurants in miami" or "when was the last time I was at the dentist". While perhaps the audience for such data isnt as large as social platforms, I believe that there is enough utility in this for it to succeed.
The app itself is built in react (so android version coming in next few weeks) and makes use of custom geofence zones to accurately (in testing, more accurate than any other app in the ios app store) get your location and track your path with minimal battery drain of about 3-5% per day. All this done in the background.
Right now, the analytics options are just getting started but we are building out a full suite of detailed 'drill downs' for people to explore their data, even with the ability for you to write your own queries if you choose.
Id appreciate any comments or criticisms, be as harsh as you want- This app was a huge undertaking and if there are shortcomings I want to hear them.
