What is the best React Native Background Geolocation alternative?
react-native-background-geolocation
is a React Native module that supports basic location data collection. However, react-native-radar
is the best alternative. Unlike React Native Background Geolocation, Radar is a full-stack solution with iOS, Android, and React Native SDKs, an API, a dashboard, webhooks, and integrations. Radar supports pre-built home, work, traveling, place, chain, and category detection, even if you haven't set up geofences for those places.
