• “Skyhook is quickly becoming the de facto standard for location-awareness.”

  Martin Perez,

  Information Week

• “Loopt works best on the iPhone because of Skyhook Wireless' location technology.”

  Sam Altman,

  CEO, Loopt

• “Thank God for Skyhook.”

  Jonathan Landers,

  Pelago, creators of Whrrl

• “The Skyhook location system fits our needs wonderfully. Since our application locates the user within a particular city, its accuracy is more than sufficient. ”

  David Smith,

  Cross Forward Consulting, creators of PerDiem

• “The Skyhook location services are outstanding.I've developed other GPS programs for University research labs, and those GPS devices (all located on cell phones) were not nearly as accurate - or fast - as the iPhone location services.”

  Ian Cinnamon,

  developer of Car Finder

• “We tested our app on both the 1st gen and 3g phones and we were astonished by the accuracy and processing-time. Skyhook's positioning system has, without a doubt, significantly improved the iPhone. ”

  Alvin,

  Clean Slice, creators of FuzzyShot

• “The use of Skyhook has added value to our application on a level we could have not imagined. Location based service features have enhanced our user experience. ”

  Shannon Atkinson,

  Njection.com, creators of NMobile

• “Developing for a location-aware device has not only enabled us to develop amazing new features, but those applications are outselling mobile utility applications 2-to-1 or more on the AppStore.”

  Casey Haakenson,

  Notice Software, creators of Notice News

• “Runners and cyclists using RunKeeper do not just want to know about distance and speed, they want to see their path traveled on a map, and this location data is critical to the utility of the application.”

  Jason Jacobs,

  developer of RunKeeper

• “I actually feel that the location-based ability of the application is a big factor that differentiates my application from the other apps similar to mine. In my opinion, it is the feature that made me want to write this for the iPhone platform as opposed to any other.”

  Adam Talcott,

  Atomic Powered, creators of QuakeInfo

• “Skyhook is absolutely amazing ...Touch N GO literally zooms into a 10-15 meter radius on any "point of interest" search, which has attributed greatly to our success.”

  Mike Carter,

  Touchserv, creators of Touch N Go

• “Our application relies heavily on location services to provide customers with a personalized, geographically aware user experience.”

  Jason Greco,

  developer of Beer Hero

• “We believe that a new era of location-based games and utilities is at hand. It is made possible by the widespread use of GPS in mobile devices - and made dependable with add-on services like Skyhook's, that speeds up the location fix, and even makes it possible to get good data indoors where GPS alone is not enough - or on devices without GPS! Without it, our applications would have a much smaller audience, and much smaller impact.”

  Morten Wagner,

  Unified Game, creators of Funky-O-Meter

• “I must say that your service is incredible, I remember seeing it back before the App Store days and was *blown away*. I'm glad Apple adopted it so quickly. The crazy thing about your service is that I find it to be *more* reliable than the GPS. Sometimes using Core Location via cell triangulation or GPS results in some stale values, or some very far-off location. When on Wi-Fi it's always spot-on.”

  Loren Brichter,

  Atebits, creators of Tweetie

• “With our app the user can locate the nearest Metro stations from his position in Paris using his iPhone, and this functionality can even be used inside stores for example where GPS is not necessarily available, thanks to the technology provided by the iPhone.”

  Antoine Morcos,

  Presselite, creators of Metro Paris Subway

• “GPS alone does not suffice in a majority of our use cases. This necessitates Skyhook, which works indoors and in high rise urban areas.”

  Steffen Frost,

  developer of Carticipate

• “The location based service by your company is working out nicely for our apps as GPS cannot work well indoor...Without your solution, I will say that our apps wouldn't work as just relying on GPS is not good enough.”

  Edward Tsang,

  Networking 2.0, creators of the Where To? apps

• “The Wi-Fi technology that your company developed is very cool and good for applications like mine. It would not be possible to support devices like the iPod touch without it.”

  David House,

  Well Built Software, creators of Locations app

• “I was very impressed that even on an iPod Touch without even a cell tower, the location API works pretty well on the Las Vegas Strip. Bravo!”

  Hunter Hillegas,

  Vegas Media Group, creators of Vegas Mate

• “Skyhook enables iPod touch users who don't have GSM or GPS location services to use my location feature at least sometimes , and it might save me from switching on GPS on iPhone 3G in order to save power.”

  Jonas, MetaQuark,

  creators of Berlin Trip Planner

• “Location resolution has worked great on the iPhone.”

  Chris,

  Ten23 Software, creators of PhotoKast

• “Skyhook and it is working great for me in everyday usage (I have a 1st gen iPhone and location is very accurate).”

  Federico Frezza,

  developer of When in Rome

• “We love the GPS and Location Based services offered by the iPhone and they work awesome on our app.”

  Titus Blair,

  developer of JobCompass

• “The functionality that Skyhook provides is both exciting and reliable.

  As both a programmer and an end-user, I've been on both sides of Skyhook's power, and I am pleased from every angle.”

  Adam Weinberger,

  developer of Beacon

• “The positioning functionality available through the iPhone SDK, of which Skyhook is clearly an integral part, has been invaluable in the development of Klick.”

  Will Fleming,

  developer of Klick

• “Overall I am very impressed by Skyhook's functionally.”

  Ed Williams,

  Exceltech Mobile, creators of Compass Point Me There

• “Have to say what you've done with Wi-Fi location is just brilliant. Certainly makes our app better with it.”

  Richard, GoSoftWorks,

  creators of GoSkyWatch

• “MotionX-GPS is the leading navigation application on the iPhone. MotionX-GPS is perfect for motion-sports such as running, cycling, hiking, driving, and flying, so accurate location information is important to provide reliable data in all environments.”

  Arthur Kinsolving,

  Fullpower, creators of MotionX

• “Skyhook technology enables the iPhone locate itself using WIFI signals. We were able to test it to work at Vancouver, BC, where we had a iPod touch to find its location using WIFI signal alone. Together with Skyhook technology, ManGo offers the users ever increasing values with more store location offering and other value-added services.”

  Stanley Sang,

  Linkworks, creators of ManGo

• “The ConnectorLocal.com Connector mobile application relies on the Skyhook location technologies to provide our customers with the most accurate location centric information no matter where they are, indoors or outdoors.”

  Jeffrey Sambells,

  We-Create, developers of Connector Local

• “Skyhook allows our customers to exchange data when GPS fails us, in every country that Handshake ships. It's the only credible universal solution for quick, location-aware networking.”

  Ian Baird,

  Fog Creek Software, developers of Handshake
