SpotsWay helps you discover what is happening around real places, save the routes that took you there, and connect with people who share the moment.

DISCOVER WHAT'S NEARBY
Browse location-based posts in a customizable radius or open the map to see what people are sharing around you.

TALK TO A PLACE
Start or join a time-limited Place Conversation around your current area or any place on the map. Ask locals a question before a trip, compare notes while you are there, or require a fresh in-radius location check for replies.

TRACE YOUR WAY
Record a walk, run, or ride, add photo and video Route Moments, and revisit your private activity history. While route recording is active, SpotsWay collects location data in the background so the route can continue when your screen is locked or the app is not in active use. Background collection stops when you pause or finish. Routes stay private by default, and you choose what to share.

BUILD TRIPS FROM MEMORIES
Organize places, posts, photos, and routes into Collections you can keep, share, or let friends copy into their own plans.

CONNECT ON YOUR TERMS
Follow nearby happenings, form friendships, send direct messages, and use short-lived trip connections when a permanent connection is not needed.

PRIVACY AND SAFETY
Choose public, friends-only, private, or group visibility where available. Place Conversations can expire, and blocking, muting, and reporting tools help you stay in control.

Whether you are exploring your neighborhood, heading to a trail, planning a trip, or remembering where it all happened, SpotsWay keeps the place and the moment together. ## Rankings - #3,145,972 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.johnsoncreativellc.SpotsWay.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Spots](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aatif.spot) — 225 users - [Spot And Find](https://chrome-stats.com/d/nl.spotandfind.app) — 2 users - [mySpots](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.david.h.myspots) — 9 users - [Spots](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bg.spots.vanko1) — 2 users - [Pin Spot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mouxum.pin.spot.mx_pin_spot) — 42 users - [SpotLog - Deine Orte & Reisen](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.spotlog.app) — 4 users - [Spoth: Discover Nearby](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.spoth) — 49 users - [Spot@](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fixu.spottat) — 96 users - [The Spot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.thespot.the_spot) — 28 users - [SpotShare](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hinski.kolle.partyalpha) — 297 users - [Spotella: Place stories](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appkraft.gpstalk.android) — 539 users - [Vspot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.app.spotimpact) — 447 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.johnsoncreativellc.SpotsWay)
