Interesting adding functionality to messaging apps using location based trigger. Permissioning issues, requires location to be tracked. Privacy?

hi cath, thanks. location data is not stored, it just passes thru the system. used to determine if msg is to be sent then the data is disregarded

great idea however you stated you could do discount in the area whereas this was targeted to a single mobile number??
Aci Cartagena - 2883d
hi michael, yeah for now it's just 1 number. but we would expand to have broadcast options for stores

Liked the idea. Didn't love the pitch or explanation of how to get around the permissions issue

thanks, for the location services it is always on since we need it to update the user's messaged when they are in that location especially when it's inbackground mode. thank you for the feedback :)

differs from facebook checkin?
Aci Cartagena - 2883d
facebook checkin is a one to many broadcast and it appears on the newsfeed. this is a private connection b/w people. you don't checkin you send a message to that person when he's in that location. thanks for the feedback :)

hi Sharon. :) the app just needs you to fill out another field: location. imhere focuses more on the arrival of the receiver at the specified location. thanks for the input regarding time/date. we will explore the integration. :)
