Radius is a simple app that aims to connect you with your best friends within reach. Radius will notify you when you have friends around, so you can instantly create group chats and connect. You can always adjust the size of your radius: from 150 feet (50 meters) to half a mile (750 meters). Just add your friends on Radius and never miss out on connecting with them once you are around them.
Radius does not disclose anyone’s exact location; you can buzz or message your friends through Radius to locate them! Also, choose which friends you want to be specifically notified once they are in your Radius, as well as view which of your friends have been in your Radius recently. Check the app anytime and anywhere to see which of your friends is around you in the form of bouncing bubbles!
Recap of features;
*No worries, your location is safe.
Your friends on Radius can never view your location. Once you are around your Radius friends, they get a friendly notification, just like you will. We will never provide anyone’s exact location.
*Keep the chats relevant and fast.
You can only start a chat with people who are nearby! Your chats EXPIRE after 24 hours of inactivity. This is a fun way to create instant group chats with people you know that are within your reach and not worry about the chats stacking up afterwards.
*Tap the bouncing bubbles to start chats.
See the bouncing bubbles in your Radius map? Those friends are around you somewhere. Tap on their pictures and select who you want to create a chat with, and then hit the chat bubble on the top left hand corner.
*Go invisible anytime.
We created Radius because we believe other location based apps are not concerned about user privacy enough. You can go invisible anytime through the settings page inside the app.
*Continued use of GPS running in the background may decrease battery life.
