What is Stops?2023-12-27T20:17:49+02:00

Stops is a location-based social platform that helps people find, create, share and get-to unique 3D locations, without ‘tracking’ them.

With Stops’ patented software, facts and products become 3D smart locations (‘stops’) that can be discovered with Augmented Reality, 3D maps and smart wearables.

What’s a stop?2023-12-27T13:37:51+02:00

A stop is a smart location that has x/y/z (latitude, longitude & altitude) coordinates.

Anything digital (text, audio, video, URLs, product links, etc.) can be connected to the stop.

Whenever someone is near the stop, it can be viewed in Augmented Reality.

Does Stops track me?2021-11-05T17:05:23+02:00

Stops gives you the complete freedom to socialize, discover, create, share and interact with location-based content without ever being tracked.

What does this mean? It means just that. We don’t track or log your locations or store any other private data that you don’t personally provide. Moreover, we don’t follow you, cookie you, or log your interactions. Also, with Stops you can export all of your data at any time, and when you delete your account – poof, you’re gone.

Stops only requests your device’s location to deliver you nearby content.

Stops seeks to be a leader in GDPR (Global Data Protection Regulation)-compliance.

How does Stops work?2021-11-07T14:27:28+02:00
  1. Stops delivers location-based data from top sources like Wikipedia, Yelp, & Meetup,  as well as millions of geo-based facts from partners, users and it’s very own Where! in-app magazine.
  2. The more people subscribe to other users and categories, the more customized their geo-social and geospatial experience becomes.
  3. Anyone can connect their content, products and even their messaging groups to ‘smart locations’, anywhere on the globe. As a result, their friends/subscribers can discover, collect and engage with their stops ‘on-location.’
  4. Users navigate to and interact with location-based content with total privacy, without ever being tracked.

Can a stop be viewed in a Web browser?2023-12-27T20:15:36+02:00

Yes. After all, our mission is to make Stops seamlessly work across multiple platforms, including the Web.

You can view any public stop, Collection or Cube you create in any web browser.

  1. First, open your stop, click Edit and confirm that your stop is marked “Public.” If your stop is marked “Private” then its URL is hidden from the public.
  2. Next, click on the share button on the bottom navigation. Here, you can choose to share it internally via Cubes or as a link externally outside the app.

Also important to remember:

  • The person with whom you share the link, even if they are not a Stops user, can view the stop via the link. See this help article.
  • If the receiver is already a Stops user, the stop will open inside the app.
