Discover the best places around you — rated, open now, sorted your way.
About
Round Here is a place discovery app for iPhone. Open it anywhere and instantly see what's nearby — sorted by distance or rating, filtered to what's open right now.
Set an alert for any category — bars, restaurants, museums, hotels. Round Here watches in the background and notifies you when you're nearby and on foot. Set it once, forget about it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Location is the core of how Round Here works — it shows you places near your current position. Background location ("Always On") is required only if you use Smart Alerts, so the app can notify you when you're near a place you care about. You can use the Explore tab with "While Using" permission only.
You set an alert for a category (e.g. Bar), a radius (e.g. 1 mile), and a speed condition (e.g. walking only). Round Here monitors your location in the background and sends a notification when you're within range and moving slowly enough to stop in. A 30-minute cooldown prevents the same place from alerting twice in quick succession.
Yes. When setting up an alert, choose a duration: 1 hour, 4 hours, today only, or always on. Alerts with a time limit expire automatically and show as "Expired" in the Alerts tab, where you can renew or remove them.
Round Here uses your location to find nearby places and trigger alerts. Location data is used on-device and shared with Google Places API solely to fetch nearby search results. It is not sold or shared with any other third parties. Place data is fetched from Google Places API. See the Privacy Policy below for full details.
Open the Alerts tab, swipe left on any alert or tap the trash icon to delete it. Deleting all alerts will prompt you to downgrade to "While Using" location permission, since background access is no longer needed.
Check that location permission is set to "While Using" or "Always" in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Round Here. If the issue persists, try closing and reopening the app, or contact us below.

Email SupportPrivacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
Round Here ("the app") is operated as an independent app. This policy describes what data is collected and how it is used.
Location Data
Round Here uses your device's location to show nearby places and to trigger proximity alerts. Location data is processed on-device. It is not transmitted to our servers, stored, or shared with third parties beyond what is required to query the Google Places API (which receives a coordinate, not your identity).
Google Places API
Place search results are powered by the Google Places API. When you search, your approximate location is sent to Google to retrieve nearby places. Google's privacy policy applies to this data: policies.google.com/privacy.
Analytics
The app may collect anonymous usage events (e.g. alert created, search performed) to help improve the product. These events contain no personally identifiable information and no location data. Usage analytics are processed by PostHog (EU servers) and are not linked to your identity.
No account required
Round Here does not require you to create an account. No name, email address, or personal details are collected.
Data retention
Alert configurations and saved places are stored locally on your device and optionally synced via iCloud if you are signed in. We do not have access to this data.
