Could you explain more clearly how the geo push feature works? I presume the device must update the 'devices' collection (or some other one?) with its current location at periodic intervals. I cannot see any location information in my devices collection just the device id. Where is the location stored and how often is it updated?
I would like to implement a 'geo fencing' facility (like Pushwoosh has) whereby mobiles moving into an area will receive the push notification but only once. Do you have any plans to implement this?

Hi Kevin,

You can check current location and display a notification if it's included in a certain region. This can be done within Appery.io.

Katya,
Thanks for the reply but it doesn't really answer my questions.
Appery has, as I understand it, an inbuilt geo push function so somewhere it must be storing the current locations of the mobile devices. Where are they stored and can they be accessed?
How often are the locations updated?
If you can access this data then it would be possible to create a geo fencing capability without having to duplicate what is already there.

Hello! [quote:]Appery has, as I understand it, an inbuilt geo push function[/quote]no, but you can add in Devices collection any fields and update them when it's needed. It should be coded and implemented by you.
