It sounds interesting. Can't wait to try it when it gets to my city!

I was curious, though... your FAQ mentions it doesn't use GPS in the background. What does it use to determine a user's location?

Does it work on crosswalks?

It doesn't use GPS in the background for better battery life but it uses GPS on the foreground, which means you need to have the app open while you walk in order for it work.

Crosswalks it's something that i have thought on implementing but in a later stage.

Where do you live if i may?

Toronto, Canada.

Okay, the GPS in the foreground makes sense.
