How accurate is the location?

Accuracy of Location depends on the API & device(mobile or laptop) used and not on the application.

Mobile: mobile has GPS enabled so the coordinates sent by them is more accurate
Laptop: Most laptops don’t have GPS enabled so the location is based on the IP address, which is not much accurate
