About this app
Approachable™ is a Real-Time, Self-Guiding Radar app that makes it easy, secure, and fun to find each other in crowded areas and situations where maps are impractical or nonexistent. Using our Radar system, you can easily and securely meet up with family & friends in places such as concerts, sports events, shopping centers, festivals, parking lots, amusement parks, etc. It works even if everyone is moving around, which eliminates the frustration of wasting time waiting for the others to arrive. Once they are in close proximity, you will be alerted, and easily guided to each other.
Best of all, Approachable™ does not require giving up any personal information. Your privacy is always protected.
Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background may dramatically decrease battery life.
Advantages of the Approachable™ Live, Self-Guiding Radar (SGR):
1. Eliminates the frustration of waiting around for others to arrive at a fixed location. With Approachable™, you can determine exactly how far away everyone is, and you will be instantly notified once they are in close proximity.
2. Once you and your friends accept the Meetup request, you will be able to find each other using our Self-Guiding Radar, whether you are standing still or moving around. This allows you the freedom to walk around to different places without fear of losing sight of each other.
3. You’ll never have to text or call, “Where are you?!” ever again. Our Radar constantly updates your location, allowing you to easily find each other. In noisy, crowded areas like concerts or fairs, calls may not be heard and reception may be poor, thus making communication very difficult. Our Radar works in the background so users do not have to be actively checking their phones at all times.
Maps or navigation systems will get you to the event. Approachable™ will help you find each other once you are there! The live Radar will show your direction and distance, and guide you straight to your Meetup.
* Although our Radar can be used everywhere, it has been optimized for outdoor use such as at a concert, sporting event, fair, amusement park or downtown area. We are bound by the strength and availability of GPS Satellite Signal strength.
Identity & Privacy Protection Features:
We do NOT ask for any private information. We only verify your phone number via text to ensure security and credibility. All you need is a screen name and any profile photo to use the app so your friends & family will recognize you when you send them an invitation to meet up with them.
No one will ever find your location or locate you without your permission for each session. Each session expires automatically, even if you forget to delete it, and you can leave a session anytime you want.
Your contact list is only used by you to send requests to your family and friends so you can easily and privately find each other.
