Real feedback from businesses using Appy Pie to build GPS, navigation, and location tracking apps.
We built a delivery tracking app for our courier service in two days. Drivers use the GPS tracking, customers see live ETAs, and dispatchers manage routes from the dashboard. Saved us months of custom development.
The store locator feature alone justified the subscription. Our 45 retail locations are all on an interactive map with hours, directions, and appointment booking. Customer foot traffic increased 18% in three months.
Our hiking club app has GPS trail maps, elevation tracking, and offline maps for remote areas. The geofencing alerts warn hikers when they leave marked trails. We had 2,000 downloads in the first month.
As a real estate agent, the property map app lets me show listings with neighborhood data, school zones, and commute times. Clients browse properties on the map before scheduling tours. Closed 12 more deals this quarter.
Fleet management was the killer feature. We track 30 HVAC service vans in real time, optimize routes each morning, and get alerts when technicians arrive at job sites. Fuel costs dropped 15% in six weeks.
Built a city tour guide app with walking routes, audio stops, and an interactive map of historic landmarks. Tourists love the offline mode. We charge $4.99 per download and it pays for itself every month.
