Using the millions of locations that we process per day, Radar can learn a user's approximate home and office locations and tell you if a user is currently at home, at work, or traveling.

For consumer use cases, this supplements Radar's existing geofencing capabilities and allows you to build even better contextual app experiences:

  • If you're building a travel app, you might show a user different in-app content when traveling, send a marketing message only to users who are currently traveling, or prompt the user to review and share their trip as soon as they arrive home.
  • If you're building a ride-sharing app, you might prompt a user to book a ride as soon as they leave the office, send a marketing message only to users who are not currently home, or learn a user's typical commuting patterns.
  • If you're building a food delivery app, you might prompt a user to place an order as soon as they arrive home after a long day at the office.

You can receive events and retrieve user state client-side via the iOS SDK and Android SDK, or server-side via webhooks and the API.


Enterprise customers can start using Insights today. See the Insights documentation.
