About Beam - Friends, Maps & Events
Beam is a simple, private, free app that lets two people share their current locations. You see me and I see you in realtime for one hour.
***How Beam works***
Beam works the same way as a phone call or text message - but it puts you both on the same map. See the location, even as it changes, of the person you are Beaming. The only person who sees you is the person you’ve Beamed. And, you must both agree to Beam before you can see each other. A Beam is time limited and set to one hour.
+ Realtime: you see me and I see you on a map in realtime
+ Time limited: a Beam is one hour
+ Easy: the Beam Bar makes it clear who can see you and for how long
+ Convenient: the Beam ends automatically when you meet up
+ Simple: two taps to start a Beam. One tap to accept a Beam
***Beam just makes meeting up easier***
Take the stress out of not knowing when and where your friends and family are when trying to meetup. Find your friends easily with Beam. Try it when you're:
+ waiting for a ride home
+ wondering when your guests will arrive
+ organizing a place to meet
+ letting your partner know you’re on the way home from work
+ looking for your friends in an unfamiliar city
+ meeting friends or family on a whim
+ or having fun, simply sharing with your friends where you are!
**Beam is Private**
With Beam, there are no surprises. It is simple to use and the Beam Bar makes it very clear who can see you and for how long. You can stop a Beam at any time and your Beaming history is never saved. Also, because it’s for a short time, you just share when you need to and on your own terms.

At least try to make the user interface more Android-like and more optimized for Android platform since you guys are planning to expand the user base here. The concept is undoubtedly one of the best of late, and I strongly believe that given its obvious potential, it Will definitely shine should you fix the buggy and counter-intuitive interface. Putting in some colourful material design is a great avenue to start off, and apart from this, try to make the GPS and location service more usable for indoors.

The app has stopped working since I upgraded to Android 6.0. Before then it would intermittently get me to out my mobile number in again before it would work. The tracking seems to be a bit hit and miss too, with it sometimes taking 10mins between updating my position on the map on my wife's app.

I no longer have to sit waiting for my business partner to arrive. I can see his progress on the map & Co-ordinate my schedule with his progress. Also stops annoying & time consuming 'Where are' you phone calls! Love it ! :)

Server error after receiving access code. Please solve this issue asap and emailed but no reply. Previously on an older Android version it works fine.
