About
Arrow is the first Android App that automatically saves your parking spots. You don’t have to get your phone out and save the location. When you can not remember where you parked, just start Arrow and it will show you where you parked on a map, along with the distance and direction from your current location. You can also see how long ago you parked, the address and how long you drove before you parked.
Features
- Automatically saves your parking spots
- History of past parking spots
- Delete past parking spots
- Minimal battery usage
- Directions to your car
Notes
Many months of research went into our patent-pending Motion Sensing™ technology to assure high reliability and accuracy. Saving a parking spot can still fail if:
- GPS is turned off
- GPS can not get a signal (parking garages, closed structures)
- Drive time is under 1 minute
GPS required
Please keep GPS and WiFi on at all times so Arrow can do its job. WiFi is not absolutely needed, but it can sometimes improve the location, especially where no GPS is available.
Minimal battery usage
Arrow runs in the background to track when you are driving and when you leave your car. It uses GPS and WiFi to get your location at certain waypoints and to be able to save your parking spot. We try to accomplish all this with the minimal battery usage possible.
Privacy
Parking spots are saved on your device and are accessible only to you. We anonymously track usage of the application, for example how often you use it, but never your location information. We take privacy very seriously.
Supported phones
The app should work on most Android phones with Android 2.1 or greater. If Arrow does not work on your phone, please let us know, so we can fix the problem. Some phones with certain Android versions have problems with accessing sensors when the screen is off.
Phones it does not work on and respective Android version(s), plus Android version that fixes the problem, if available:
| Manufacturer | Phone | Android Version | Fixed in |
