GPS & Location-Based App Development
Location-aware apps built around real GPS behavior — geofencing, background location, and battery management done properly, not a map with a blue dot.

Location features are deceptively hard to get right: iOS and Android handle background location very differently, geofencing accuracy varies by device, and battery consumption from constant location tracking is a real user-facing problem if not managed deliberately.
Background location tracking is unreliable or gets killed by the OS
Both iOS and Android aggressively limit background location access to preserve battery, and an app that doesn't work with those constraints (rather than around them) loses tracking unpredictably.
Geofence triggers are inconsistent or delayed
Geofencing accuracy depends on device hardware and OS-level implementation details that are easy to get wrong, leading to triggers that fire late, early, or not at all.
Users are uninstalling over battery drain complaints
Location tracking that isn't power-conscious is one of the most common reasons for uninstalls and one-star reviews on location-based apps.
What you get.
Background location handled per-platform correctly
iOS and Android's different background execution models both accounted for, rather than one implementation that only really works on one platform.
Geofencing built for real-world accuracy
Tuned for your actual use case (arrival detection, zone-based triggers) with realistic expectations set for accuracy and latency.
Power-conscious location tracking
Adaptive accuracy and polling frequency that respects battery life instead of defaulting to maximum precision at all times.
Location permission flows that don't scare users off
Permission requests framed and timed to maximize genuine opt-in, following each platform's current best practices.
Privacy-conscious data handling
Location data collected and stored only as needed for the actual feature, with a clear policy your team can stand behind.
Four steps, no mystery.
Quick scoping call
A short call (or async over WhatsApp) to understand what you're working with and what "done" actually looks like for you.
Fixed scope, no surprises
A clear written plan of what's included and how long it takes, before any work starts.
The actual work
Progress you can see, not a black box. You get updates as milestones land, not just a status report at the end.
Handover
Everything documented and handed over cleanly, with a walkthrough so your team isn't stuck waiting on me for routine changes.

Frequently asked.
A maps SDK renders a map; the real engineering work is in reliable location tracking, geofencing accuracy, and battery management, which is where most location-app problems actually live.
