Application Help:
Overview This application provides audio files on demand, based upon your location. Therefore, when you install the app, we will verify that your device is set correctly, and if not, we will change it to allow your device and our Administration System (AS) system to communicate with each other.
As such, it is necessary to adjust your device settings to properly link to the (AS). These settings are established during the installation process provided you give approval to do so. A brief description of these critical settings are as follows:
- We set your device to allow the AS to follow your location.
- We set your device to utilize the Global Positioning System. (Because we both want high accuracy of where you are).
- We set your device to check in at certain time intervals. (Approximately every 10 miles of your travel).
Our system is designed to be completely user friendly and as automatic as possible. Turn it on, and go, is our goal.

When you reach a location that matches one of our stories, you will receive an audible notification and a text message asking you if you want to listen now or save for later use. If you choose to listen to it later, it will be saved in your device memory for as long as you wish.

Hints
Like all apps that depend on your location, your GPS setting uses a little bit more of your battery power than normal. Therefore, we suggest you leave your device plugged into a charger when using. Also, please remember to Log out (shut down the app) when you are not traveling, since you will not be entering any locations where a story is located.
