Our app's vision is to help people find spur-of-the-moment places as they explore their town/city/country/world. The idea is to pleasantly surprise the user with relevant location information instead of making the user seek it out.
After a one-time setup, Viciniti runs seamlessly in the background of your Android device. As you move around, Viciniti will periodically search for relevant places in your vicinity. If it believes that a nearby place may be of interest to you, it will popup a notification on your phone and on your wearable device that tells you what the place is, where it is on a map, and how to navigate to it.
Viciniti uses low-power location services to persistently query the area around you for interesting places. Once it has notified you of the place, you can open a map and navigate to that place.
Anytime the user wants to change their Viciniti settings, its as easy as opening up the app and selecting the hand-picked categories that are interesting to them.
