I’d say don’t download the app after watching 4 hours of sketchy randonautica encounters online, hoping for the same experience. There is a reason the craziest, creepiest stuff are happening to youtubers and tik tok’ers....they are CONTENT CREATORS. They even call it the Randonautica “Challenege”. To me that’s a slip up, every “challenege” on tik tok has been a staged, and practiced event. Why would this “challenge” be any different? Why are the craziest experiences only happening to CONTENT CREATORS and they’re always getting it on film for their channel? I’m 20 locations in so far and have not had ANYTHING even REMOTELY interesting. Just Private properties I won’t go onto, empty fields when after exploring absolutely nothing in them, open and functioning business. I don’t know, I’m gonna keep trying but so far I’m ridiculously disappointed.
I get it, rn there’s just a white screen and you can’t use it, but why not wait patiently? Maybe go to your job and binge a new Netflix series. This small group of volunteers is absolutely incredible and I really hope the app does get back up and running, but I’m not big on tech so I’m not sure how servers work. My only idea is from Minecraft servers and how some could only hold a few people while others could hold hundreds or thousands. In time I think everything will work out and I can’t wait to see what happens. This is one of my favorite apps and has helped me want to actually do the exploring I’ve wanted to do my whole life. I just wish the team good luck as I know it’s most likely a little tricky trying to figure out whatever errors there might be rn. Thank you to those who are doing you best to make everything work once again, you guys are amazing!!!
They are working on it, it’s very expensive to maintain servers, especially when the app is provided for free with the option to purchase add-ons. There are many facets that make running an application such as this one that are very costly. I recommend giving theses guys and the application a chance, and don’t get discourage. I also recommend you get the app if you don’t have it, and get ready for a true, real life adventure. The possibilities are endless. I can’t WAIT for this thing to start back up! Just hang in there guys, and believe!!!
I don’t want to write a a negative review! I think this idea is absolutely brilliant, and it really has sparked so many ideas and theories! I really love things that get my brain working in over drive. I also have an added fascination because I practice magick, and the most important aspects to magick are Will, Belief, and Intent. The idea of an app that works on the same principles is such an awesome concept! Than you add in the Quantum element, and that just adds a whole other level of amazing haha! After all magick is just practice that science has yet to define. I’ve often wondered if there was a Quantum component to the work that I do. Yet as much as I wanted to give the app five stars, I gave it three because I am still holding out hope that one day I won’t just get hit with a white screen when I open the app. I am really bummed, I’m dying to get out there and explore! I have a million ideas for intentions too! Ones I’ve never seen anyone try in the videos out there! But no matter what I try, I always get a white screen, and nothing more. I was hoping that after the app had been down, for maintenance, the problem would have been fixed. I’m not giving up though. I’m going to keep trying! I know that the app has a dedicated team, and it’s still only a few months old. When I can finally use it, properly I’ll be back to leave a new review!
We live in a holographic universe... energy attracts similar energy... Stay focus and think positive thoughts and outcomes . Randonautica has shown me a few cool places in my City that I didn’t know about... nice parks or murals etc ... I don’t go to all points ... I use street views ... check out the neighborhood and if I see something interesting... I will screenshot it and if I am in that neighborhood ... I will go check out the spot . My experiences have been positive so far .
Use common sense guys ... if you see the neighborhood is sketchy.. don’t go ! Go in groups and day time! You don’t have to go to every single point that’s given to you ! Don’t ask / think of scary things ! Or don’t blame the devs for your negative experience when you are the one who created it .
This is just a tool ... use it positively or negatively... it’s entirely up to you ! Good luck ✨
So like many others I downloaded the app after seeing all of the TikTok videos. I’m always down for an adventure and finding new things. I’m giving the app 4 stars because the whole point is to generate a completely random location. And it does that 100%. However for me so far it’s been a waste of time. The 3 locations it sent me to are: people’s private property, the airport runway (this one is very consistent for some reason) and a national guard base. I would keep trying but you only get 15 “points” and once you use them you can’t generate any more points for the day. Maybe it would be better if you can get unlimited points. Because at this point it’s just wasting my gas. I’m sure many of those TikTok videos are staged, but it would be nice to find something cool
Developer Response
Hello, computation is expensive, and we are a small group of enthusiasts with limited server space. Therefore, once the app took off in popularity we had to start charging for unlimited points. The option does exist in the Add-Ons menu for a one-time fee.Unfortunate there is a paywall for avoiding ocean points, as that singles some users out for their geography.
When it does work it can be fun to go on a random little adventure. Found some interesting areas I never would have noticed, even though I often go on random drives anyway.
Also its unfortunate that it is veiled in such a wall of pseudoscience mumbojumbo. I had to do a lot of reading to even begin to understand the basic options of "anomaly/void/attractor". There wasnt any guide to explain in the app, I had to search for posts on reddit. However after reading I began to get an appreciation for what they are trying to do despite my initial skepticism.
My friend and I had tried this app on their birthday and kept getting sent to restricted areas. I didn’t mind much since we got to drive around a bit. I’ve downloaded the app today to see if I could get out of the house before it gets too dark, but the coordinates keep leading to the nearby Air Force base, which are very much restricted to the public. Seven different tries to find adventure and five lead to the base. The other two lead to a nearby school and a house in my neighborhood. Perhaps it’s because I live so close by or the app is attracted to the base or something? I suppose if I wanted to do urban exploring, I should just look for places myself.
Used this with no intention of going to the random point. Shortly after there were two people walking around my property looking for a way in. This is in an area where that typically isn’t an issue. If I had to guess, based on the basic way the app works and small dev team, both your local gps coordinates as well as the destination are accessible remotely through some kind of unidentified exploit. This could leave the user vulnerable to burglary if they begin from a home point (you will be expected to not be at home) as well as vulnerable at the destination point. It’s doubtful that use of the exploit is so widespread that it will happen every time, but it would also explain many of the strange events surrounding the app that happen from time to time. This is just a hypothesis, and would require the devs attention to confirm and fix. If you want to use the app, I’d recommend not starting from home. good luck 😄
As other people have said, I do understand that this is a small group of volunteers—all that jazz. I just logged into the app & it said you only get 10 generated points a day. Now, for people that are lucky enough to live in a large city, this might not be bad. However, I live out in the country. I always set my distance to 10,000 meters so it gives the generator a chance to give me a good spot. I don't live far from a couple cities (they’re within 10,000 meters). I usually have to go through about 40-50 generated points before I actually get one that might be worth going to. The spots it always gives are the middle of privately owned farm fields/backyards OR the middle of the water that I live by. I get theres a package you can pay to avoid water, but I haven’t had an experience where I felt it was worth it. Ive had the app for about 4 months, & there hasn’t been a place worth checking out. I think Ive gone to about 6 or 7 places & it ended up just being a waste of my gas.
So, my biggest problem with the app is the “10 points a day” because it generates me a bunch of crap. Its probably not worth keeping around now that they implemented that because Ill just get farm fields & water. :(
