Introducing Roam Around! Our new easy-to-use live location tracking app with possibilities of sharing your live location to anyone using a link.
Being a location technology provider for apps, we always wanted to find a simple way for everyone to explore the possibilities and get a feel for our technology. We started with a clean sheet of paper and chose our ICP (ideal customer profile) as…well, everyone. This means we’ve built an app with the mindset that even your grandpa with an interest in technology should be able to use it with ease.
Well I did say it was for everyone, but if we want to get bogged down into specifics, I’d split it into two customer types:, (1) Business and (2) Hobbyist
We’ve hinted at what you can do with Roam Around already but with that being said, let’s elaborate on some of the details of our app.
With live tracking, you can track your position in real-time and see exactly where you are. This is music to the ears of those with no sense of direction. It’s completely customizable too, you’ll be able to tailor the live-tracking to your preferences. The biggest worry people have with live tracking is battery consumption, but we’ve thought of that too. Even with our most intense tracking mode, you’ll still be able to endlessly scroll TikTok videos, browse doomsday Reddit news, and play your favorite mobile game.
With the live tracking activated, you’ll have the option to share your live location with your friends (should you have any that care, don’t worry we’re here for you). That way you’ll be able to see where y’all are located in real-time.
This one's for the geeks. On the app, you can see your historical location updates displayed on a map and neatly sorted by date and local time zone. It’s a nice visual way of looking back and seeing how your locations have been tracked daily.
Sorry, this is still for the geeks, but that historical location data can also be exported into a CSV file. Why would you want that data in a CSV file? Rebuttal, why would you not? Well, you’ll be able to export the data and see even more precise and nerdier info on the numbers.
You’ll need a small crash course on how to get set up before getting started with Roam Around, so here it is.
Log in to the Roam dashboard and create a Roam Around Project
Navigate to the product settings and copy the project’s API key. Then, follow this link and paste your API key and you’ll be able to create a unique User ID.
Go to the Apple or Google Play Store and download the app. Once downloaded, paste the User ID to log in and you’re good to go. You can now choose which tracking mode you want to use, and start tracking!
