Glomus 1.0

Unclear feature description

  • What is the main purpose of your app?
    • Location access: Why does your app need access to the location in the background?
      • Tell us about one location-based feature only in your app that requires access to location in the background and explain why it can’t be implemented without this access. The feature should be related to the main purpose of your app. Approval will be granted for your entire app, not just for this single feature.
      • Video instructions: Provide a link to a short video that clearly demonstrates the location-based feature being used in your app, the feature you declared in your form. Be sure to include in your video the prominent disclosure dialog that gets shown to users. Recommended video length: 30 seconds or shorter.

Video

Your video must demonstrate the declared feature in your app that requires access to location in the background (while the app is not in use). It also needs to show the steps necessary to encounter and enable this feature in-app.

Include the following elements in your video:

  • The feature being activated from the background
  • The prominent in-app disclosure dialog displayed to users
  • Runtime prompt

Aim for a video duration of 30 seconds or less. The preferred format is a YouTube link, but Google Drive storage links to an MP4 or other common video file formats are also supported.

Important considerations:

  • If the feature doesn’t have a user-facing interface when the location in the background is active, note this in your declaration and demonstrate the feature or its impacts as much as possible in your video.
  • Be sure your video reflects your app’s behavior on an Android device. For example, don’t submit a video of your iOS app.

  • App purpose: What is the main purpose of your app?
    • The main purpose of Glomus GPS tracker is to record users location during changing his geographical position and to show recorded tracks and statistics about these tracks.
  • Location access: Describe one location-based feature in your app that needs access to location in the background.
    • The most important feature of Glomus GPS tracker is the location recording and it should be made in background because for the user it should be possible to do other things during his location moving. Such as running, cycling , car driving etc. Also it can be dangerous to use smartphone during driving. Even more in some countries it is forbidden to use smartphone while driving.
