The Best Location Based Apps
But back in the day, GPS was a really big deal. It allowed us to get around without having to remember addresses or menus. It was also really convenient- we could just type in what we wanted and our assistant would take us there. Plus, if you were driving in a city, you could get a list of restaurants right after you opened your box of food!
It was only a matter of time before Tech. location-based services would evolve and plans would be formed for even better localization tools. Of course, they’re in the form of location-based service apps for Android and iOS phones. This was a natural growth for Tech., because the buyer wants more than just directions and restaurants, and he wants details on the go.

Foursquare and Swarm
Foursquare (and later its spinoff Swarm) had users addicted to collecting coins, claiming town halls, and chasing friends on check-in leaderboards. Somewhere along the line, that craze died and other forms of social media, like Instagram and Snapchat, were chosen up the slack. Now, after a major redesign and rebranding effort, Swarm is back but don’t confuse it with the current research-centric city of Foursquare Guide application.
Swarm has a new focus on life recording and simplified features, although (thankfully) it retains the same bright and inviting orange color scheme. If you’ve used Swarm in the past and decided it wasn’t your style, you should consider trying it again as many things have changed.
Glympse
The Glympse app is fantastic for its own sake. It is a free app available for direct download from the official Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. And you can use Glympse to share your location and/or your HEC with a specific destination easily with your friends. ..
The FamilyTime Parental Controls & Screen Time app has negligible performance impact and does little in the background except real-time location tracking. So there’s not much reason to use its features. ..
Pokemon Go
Pokémon Go has quickly become one of the most popular games on the App Store, with people all over the world playing it. But as someone who loves walking outdoors andcatching Pokémon, we’ve found that there are some things you need to know in order to make the most of this game. The first thing you need to do is install Pokémon Go. This is a free app that you can download from the App Store. Once you have installed it, open it and sign in. Then, go outside and start playing!
Pokémon Go is a great new game that has many features that are unique to it. One of the most unique features is the sync between devices. If you catch a Pokémon on your phone and then on your computer, it will show up on both devices immediately. Any other changes to your Pokémon account are also reflected on these two platforms. This is a great feature for keeping track of your Pokémon and for sharing them with others.
Input
Ingress is a mobile game that revolutionized the use of location data to create the first game set in augmented reality. In the game, you learn that exotic matter of unknown origin is infiltrating our world – around us all the time, but only those with the right tools can see and harness its power.
The game is a social networking game that millions of people around the world have downloaded and played for six years. The global community of active players keeps the game alive by sharing tips, tricks, and strategies.
NPS National Mall
The National Park Service released its official mobile app as of August 2011. It is available for free from the Apple iTunes App Store as a 13.9MB download. I’m reviewing the latest version 1.0.2, which is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad devices running iOS 3.2 or later.
The National Park Service (NPS) has an app for download that makes it easy to access the National Mall while on your phone. The app is just under 14MB in size, and downloading it doesn’t take long using a 3G connection.
happn
Happn is a dating app that has quickly become one of the most popular options for modern singles. The app was created in 2014 and has seen great growth since then. Happn is designed to be simple and easy to use, making it an ideal choice for those who are looking for a new and exciting way to date.
We analyzed the Happn app to see if it had a chance to compete with some of the big names out there. To find this out, we dug deep into the app and analyzed user ratings, their terms of service, stats, and more to get the truth.
Our study found that Happn is a great way to connect with people who are similar to you. If you’re looking for someone to share your life with, Happn is the perfect app for you.
LinkedIn is the perfect online network for career development. It sends fewer canned emails and is more user-friendly than other networks. The service needs to reduce the volume of emails it sends, but it has many great features that make it a clear Editors’ Choice.
LinkedIn is a great tool for job seekers and recruiters. It can help them connect with potential employees, and it can also give them valuable information about companies. However, not everyone needs to use LinkedIn every day. Job seekers and recruiters may find that it’s helpful to have an account just in case they need it.
gas buddy
GasBuddy is a mobile application that connects drivers with their appropriate pit stops, while also serving the entire lifecycle of being on the road. The GasBuddy app has a database of over 150,000 gas station convenience stores.
The GasBuddy app is a valuable resource for drivers. It includes real-time fuel price information, defined station locations, ratings as well as ratings etc. Another thing worth mentioning about the GasBuddy app is its payment service model, where users can easily pay with GasBuddy. This feature it also gives vehicle drivers the right to save fuel on every gallon of gasoline they pump. ..
Waze
Waze was built to be the best companion for drivers. It offers detailed information for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, making it the perfect app to use when you’re on your way to work or school. Waze is also focused on being the best possible driver’s app, aiming to be the most intuitive and user-friendly option out there.
Waze is a new app that offers attractive maps and social networks. It features talented people who add touch to categories not known for their special touch. Unfortunately, Waze stumbles a bit in the ease-of-use department, despite its rich driving maps. ..
Dark sky
I highly recommend Dark Sky to anyone looking for a great paid weather app. It is easy to use and provides accurate information.
The app is not perfect as it is only available for iOS devices. However, you can still use it to get personalized notifications, depending on your privacy concern.
