I don't use an app and suspect I never will.
I also doubt the subscribers to this forum will form much of your target market.
I for one am a miserable, cynical, old fvcker.
Good luck. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

It would save countless lives.
Driving a motorcycle in some places is so dangerous by the time you have read from the start of this sentence to here 2 people will have died in a traffic accident on a motorbike.
People are going to continue needlessly dying in rain related crashes until somebody has the balls to invent a wiper for visors and if it's controlled by an app then that would be even better.

I'd like an app that makes a pinging sound in my helmet if someone replies to a comment I made on Dreadit, Twatter, Instaspam, WhatsCrap, WeShat, Dicktock or Fakebook. Even better if you could integrate machine learning and AI, so that it makes a different sound if someone is rude to me or threatens my online persona and reputation. And an alarm sound if my favourite YouTuber is streaming, and a mic with speech-to-text capability, and a notification if my smartwatch, phone, my helmet or any other wearables need charging.
Oh fuck it. May as well just stay at home, forever. At least that way I'll stay connected. |

This is just google maps. If you're not hooking into that functionality (or equivalent) in some way, I wouldn't bother, no point reinventing the (incredibly complex) wheel.

Genuinely interested in how that's going to work.

Trying to be constructive, this is the original bit. I don't know of an app that does this (though that doesn't mean there isn't one), but I doubt you're the first person to have thought of it. But if you are, or you're the first one to get it out there, good for you. I definitely know people who would be interested in this, me included. However, there is no reason this should be bike specific. Anyone travelling in separate vehicles as a group would find it useful. Family holidays in multiple cars? Classic car/bike rallies? Delivery convoys? Loads of potential uses. So I wouldn't recommend limiting it to just being a "motorcycle app".
If you could make this easy to use, sign up, link and unlink people from groups, that sort of thing, I can see it having merit. If you can make this feature work well, even if it's basically just an overlay on google maps that shows the other members of the group as dots or whatever, you may have something. I'd try to get that working, and add all the other stuff later.
I suspect there are good reasons if this hasn't been done already though. Probably technical and/or privacy related. Especially if you're hooking into someone else's functionality. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)
