PRIVACY 100% Private: Only YOU can see your data. We will never collect or share any information about you. We respect and care about the privacy of our users! REQUIREMENTS For the best and most accurate monitoring results, Wi-Fi, carrier and location services should always be enabled for Geofency. iBeacon monitoring requires at least Bluetooth 4. BATTERY USE Continued use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life. Geofency was designed to use GPS very sparingly and never in the background. The app relies mostly on cell tower + Wi-Fi locations. This has been carefully chosen to get the best battery life. WHAT PEOPLE SAY • "I had no idea that my iPhone could do such things!" • "Beautiful, polished and elegant designed. Extremely simple to use." • "Perhaps the most overall effective app available."
