About this app

Local Radar is the app that turns what surrounds you into a simple, useful and
living experience.
It’s a proximity guide designed for those who want to get oriented easily, discover
what’s nearby and never miss a thing — not an event, not a deal, not a special place.

With Local Radar, everything is just a tap away: explore your surroundings naturally
through a clear map, dynamic cards and intuitive filters by distance and category.
Whether you’re looking for a bakery a few steps away, a place to spend the evening, or
an event happening today, the app shows you the closest options in real time, complete
with routes, opening hours and up-to-date directions.

You can organize your day in the Plan section by creating a “morning/afternoon/evening”
itinerary, importing your favorite places and starting navigation with a single tap.
Every experience is contextual: the more you move, the more Local Radar adapts to where
you are and what might be useful to you in that moment.

In your Personal Profile, you can manage everything: saved places, history,
notifications and login via email or social accounts.
Smart notifications (optional) alert you only to what truly matters — such as an upcoming
event, a nearby offer or a reminder from your itinerary.

For those who live and work locally, Local Radar also offers a Business Area: a
dedicated space for local businesses that want to be discovered, tell their story and
promote offers or experiences.
Each merchant can request a verified profile, update descriptions and images, and appear
transparently to nearby users.

What’s new

🎯 Discover Feed – more responsive attraction loading
When the "Attractions" or "Itineraries" toggle is enabled in the preferences panel, a thin progress bar now appears immediately.
In addition, cache wait times for attractions and itineraries have been significantly reduced.

🔧 Loading stability fix
Fixed a rare case where the loading bar could remain visible indefinitely if the attractions toggle was quickly switched on and off.
