Preconditions of using urbaniqe

What kind of device I need to use urbaniqe?

You’ll need a device running at least iOS 14 or Android 6.0 with an active GPS and 3G mobile data or equal Wi-Fi connection.

What settings are needed and how often you should check them?

We recommend that before you hit the road check whether the application is running by clicking on the application itself.

It’s not needed to run the application on the front to make mobile tracking work, the app starts immediately when it detects a speed considered driving. When you stop, it will stop the data collecting as well.

If the application runs on Android, check whether the battery saving mode is off. The reason behind this is when it’s on the application may not collect data.

To make the app work properly, at the registration you’ll have to allow the following settings: access to media and files, location data, and fitness data, and turn battery-saving off on Android devices.

On iOS devices, you have to allow the settings above except turning battery saving mode off.

We recommend checking those settings every day to make the application work properly.

 

What should I do if my phone is appropriate but the app still wouldn’t work properly?

Please be sure that you have given all the access and check if the mobile data and GPS connection are right.

We recommend using a charger while driving because when the battery percentage hits below 20% the urbaniqe®’s background running could be compromised. However, if running the application is needed in case of low battery as well, we recommend running urbaniqe® in front. With that, the app will collect data until the battery dies.

Every day usage

Updates

Our digital assistant will always let you know if there is an update available to download.

Does the app work in offline mode?

The app is designed to be online, therefore you’ll be able to use it through an internet connection. In case there is no bandwidth, or there is an issue occurring with the server communication, the app will show you an error screen which can be resolved by checking the connection and refreshing the application.

The data collection however could work without a live connection by using GPS, and it’ll upload the collected data later to the server. In this case you can merge those routes manually.

The app drains the battery, why is that?

Running the app properly requires continuous location tracking and mobile data, which causes higher usage of your battery.
