“Local Faves has been very easy to implement. Between the documentation, the video, and the sample project I was able to get things up and running within a couple of hours. I am impressed with the functionality, very nice SDK.”

“We have a very large and passionate community of wine lovers who use Drync Wine to research and track wine they enjoy. Local Faves adds social elements to Drync that extend the user experience beyond the individual. With Local Faves, our users can log where they drink and buy wine, and see who's drinking what wines nearby.”

“From a technology perspective we can move much faster and more efficiently because we no longer have to worry about how to host and manage locality-based data. And from the userÕs point of view, this set of features will allow us to keep the user within the app and still have access and the ability to socialize this information. ItÕs a big win for us in terms of getting, community-based features into the app fast.”

“Skyhook's SDK provides all the pages and functionality, making it very easy for developers to plug in these local and social features. Because of that and the fact that it's all free, it's a missed opportunity not to use this.”

“To all of this, we have to say "If you got it, use it." Why not add location when you can? Why keep location separate and quarantined for specific mobile apps and not others? We know we said we wouldn't be using Twitter's web-based location, but adding location to any and all mobile apps (as an opt-in feature, of course) seems like common sense.”

Local Faves is an SDK that brings the best location features to iPhone apps. Developers can use Local Faves to simply and quickly add location tagging, check-ins, user rankings, cool map visualizations of where content was viewed, and much more. Check out our own iSwig app to see it in action, or read our detailed list of features.
Local Faves is free for non-commercial use. It's also free for commercial use for up to 100,000 Faves per month. If you are wildly successful and cross the 100,000 a month threshold, then we will charge $500 per month for unlimited Faves. Our reporting platform simply tracks your Fave activity, then sends you a notification and a report of your usage to let you know when you've hit the threshold.
Most apps can take advantage of Local Faves. Check out some of our ideas:
