Lokadot app for iPhone and iPad

"Hear What Youve Been Passing By" - location-based audio platform for mobile

A mashup of the words "local" and "anecdote", lokadot is a mobile application that serendipitously streams crowd-sourced audio files to listeners based on their location, listening preferences, and nearby points of interest.

NOTE: Audio content currently only available in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

NOTE: "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."

Lokadot (pronounced "low" + "kuh" + "dote") meaningfully re-connects listeners to their surroundings with relevant audio about the places they inhabit and visit, while not getting in the way of the music they love. The lokadot iPhone application pulls from a cloud-based database into which crowd-sourced audio files are uploaded, geo-tagged and then serendipitously streamed to your iPhone. You will find that most audio files are also accompanied by a photo, title, location information and a URL for more information.

In addition to using lokadot with the default "Auto-Play" = On (Home | Player Settings | Auto-Play:On/Off), you can also listen to lokadot audio by manually selecting it from an ordered list (by distance) and map.

And, you can use lokadot in parallel with your iPod/Music application! Just turn on your iPod/Music app, play your music, then turn on lokadot, and go. Whenever you encounter a location that has an audio file associated with it, and you have "Auto-Play" = On, lokadot will temporarily pause your music, play the lokadot audio file, and automatically resume your music when the lokadot audio completes.

***NOTE - the lokadot application is entirely dependent on your devices ability to determine location (ie, GPS), and access the Internet. The lokadot application is power-intensive, due to GPS, Internet and audio streaming, so please be aware of the impact this will have on your battery life. Otherwise, enjoy!!!
