## What is White Spots?

The White Spots App

The White Spots App visualizes the invisible electromagnetic cloud that we live in and offers a way out. Use the App with Google cardboard to travel from the online to the offline world in Virtual Reality, or use the White Spots world map to travel to places off the grid near you.

In VR mode, the network scanner shows the invisible digital signals around you in real time and takes you on a journey to the end of the Internet in immersive 360° stories. 

In Map mode, the White Spots world map shows the global divide between the connected and unconnected worlds. Browse the map to explore video stories about life off the grid or use the route planner to venture into uncharted territory yourself. The route planner finds a route to a White Spot near you and invites you to add new stories to the map.

Download the App and join the global expedition to the end of the Internet!

Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 4/5 — Was good, now stopped functioning properly

*2021-10-21*

Can’t get the white spots on IOS 15.
Rest of app, map etc
Get me out 
And do gotcha appears to work 
Have tried installing again 
So a great app if it works

### 2/5 — Network scanner doesn’t work

*2021-07-06*

I use a new IPhone and all my apps work except yours. 

No tower cells are not visualised on the screen since spring 2021. And I have (unfortunately) many around my home…
Only the message GET ME OUT does. 

What is the problem? 
Please Help

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2021-05-04*

Год назад показывало вышки поблизости, в этом году ничего не показывает… жаль, хорошее было приложение

### 3/5 — Great concept, execution could be better

*2021-05-02*

The concept is wonderful. About time something like that existed! :)

However, execution is not so great. It would be much better if this map could be overlayed above Apple Maps or Google Maps directly because we cannot read city names or street names, or even search by area.

For example, the app doesn’t even show me where I am on the map. That should be there by default.

In any case, keep up the good work. This is a much needed app in our ignorant world.

Thanks!

### 5/5 — The invisible hazard

*2020-06-17*

We live in a world clouded with the inescapable smog of invisible energy. RF radiation is hard to recognise as it is invisible, odorless and tasteless this app goes about visually giving you an idea just how those invisible forces of energy combine, penetrate, rebound and surround you almost everywhere you go.

### 5/5 — Thank You Mr Richard Vijgen

*2020-04-29*

I’ve being using your app and trying to educate friends and family about the risks & dangers of EMF. This app is Prime !!!

### 5/5 — 9/11 would fake again.

*2019-06-26*

Love the cell towers in the ocean, super realistic...

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-04-12*

This is a great app with good and important content. Support!

### 5/5 — A Great Reminder

*2019-01-26*

This app shows what parts of the globe are connected and what parts are not. I think we need to be reminded about this sometimes. The videos are fascinating!!!

### 4/5 — I like it but needs one option.

*2018-07-02*

I think this is great! But I’d like an option to convert meters into feet for us in the United States.
