In which range will I be visible to other users?
Basically the app can only recognize users which you would also be able to see. The range is around 10-20 meters radius.
Why do I need to enable Bluetooth?
The app requires Bluetooth to determine which other users are nearby. None of your private information is transmitted through this technology.
Does leaving on Bluetooth drain my battery?
We put a lot of effort into testing this and the Climp app uses much less battery than many of the popular social network or messaging apps. We relay on Bluetooth LE which is extremely battery efficient.
I don’t want to be discovered by anyone. What to change?
You can always kill the application or turn off Bluetooth. Be aware that then you are also not be able to discover any other users.
Can I just discover others but they are not able to see me?
No this is not possible. We don’t want any ghosts, since we believe this is not fair.
Can I track any users with this app? Or can others track me?
Technically this is impossible. You are only able to discover people within a range of 10-20 meters. The app has no permission to use your geolocation.
I can’t discover the user next to me. Why?
Make sure the Bluetooth is on both devices. Obviously, both must have the Climp app installed and signed-up.
When can I message with someone?
In order to respect the privacy of users it is not possible to send a message to anyone you have met. You have to first “Say Hello” afterwards the other user can either “Say Hello back” or send you a message. After the other user “Says Hello back” you can also start sending a message.
