beaconspot app for iPhone and iPad

---Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The only time we use GPS in the background is if you scan a missing device, then we store the location and turn off GPS immediately.---
BeaconSpot is an app that automatically downloads information when it gets in range of a BeaconSpot transmitter. When you drive by a car lot that has a BeaconSpot you will see all of their specials on your phone without having to type anything in. Its also real easy for the car lot to update their information so its always fresh. Just a few taps in the app. The owner of a thrift store can use one so people driving by the store can see what the best deals are that day (or that hour, the data changes in real time). A service van can put one on the van so that whenever someone sees the BeaconSpot logo they will know they can look at their phone and see their current deals and company information. Even if the person doesnt notice the service van they will still see the information the next time they open the app. This is because the app continues to scan even while its in the background. As an added bonus, if some steals the service van the owner can report it as missing and will be notified of the location whenever someone scans it. This is because this app works with http://www.findertag.com.
