What people do today

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

A diagnostic dashboard within the app that alerts users when background location permissions or battery optimization settings are interfering with tracking.
A secondary 'ping' feature that forces a high-accuracy GPS refresh from the server side when the user suspects a tracking lag.
A simplified status widget that shows the exact timestamp of the last successful server sync to provide transparency on data freshness.
