Beaconeer™ App Products Blog

Hello Everyone, We have never ceased working on the Beaconeer™  version for iPhone Users. We never thought it would take this long, but Apple's Developer, Test Flight, and Release process is a behemoth, compared to Google Play and Amazon! By the way,  Google Play changed their SMS permissions protoco l and disabled the "Beacon List" behavior! That was the code that  enabled  automated group texting / GPS feature in the Android version! Update: as of 7/26/2019, the automated group/text/GPS behavior has been restored. Yeahh!!!

Hello Everyone! Thanks for using the Beaconeer and providing feedback.  Two updates: (1) We've been made aware of an issue shown below. A fix is underway and will be released in new and improved version by March 1, 2019. (2) We anticipate having the iPhone version available in 4th quarter 2019! More good news!! We expect to have the iPhone version available in March 2019 also. Update: The IOS version will be available in October 2019 

Update: July 26, 2019 - We are updating our "Protocol" forms for family, workplace, and church. We  will repost them soon. Use these forms to communicate how your church, business , or family household plans to respond to the receipt of a Code Red, Yellow, or Green beacon from a member of your "Beacon List." Stand by, stand strong, together, with The Beaconeer!

We have now "passed muster" with Amazon AppStore and Google Play. Oh happy day!  We are steadily working on the IOS version and are planning and preparing to have it ready in September. We hope The Beaconeer™ is a useful tool in helping groups to "Stand by, and stand strong, together!"  Use The Beaconeer™ as part of your emergency communications planning and protocol! You may find that you can use additional Beaconeers to assign to different group communications, such as family, church, workplace, etc. You can now purchuse Beaconeer B & C on Google Play.  They are exactly the same except for the letter.  $1.99 + tax Your purchase helps support Mobile App Mentoring , Safety & Preparedness  skills mentoring programs in the Raleigh, NC area. #Beaconeer   #DowntownRaleigh

....as of August 1, 2018, Google Play implemented new build requirements of all apps in their store.    It is called API Level 26 compliance!  You may begin to see Android apps on your phone behave differently when Phone Call, SMS, Camera and Location Functions are used.   A pop-up may appear, requesting that you respond "Deny" or "Allow," for the app to use the above functions. These pop-ups will definitely occur with The Beaconeer™. As the download is in process, you'll see these pop-ups... Click "Allow" for both.  Once you download The Beaconeer™, in order for the app to work properly you'll need to right away... go into your Settings/App Manager/Beaconeer/Permissions,  and enable the following permissions, as shown below... Got it? Good!  If you don't do this, you'll encounter possible error messages and app closures. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the app, it's just that Google Play requi...
