App Alert's You When You Are Nearing Gun Free Zone
Carry Alerts is a new iPhone app that runs in the background and will alert you when you are near a local, state or federal gun free zone as well as reminding you to do what you need to do when you get close to an international border. The app is designed with conceal carry holders in mind who want to avoid inadvertently breaking the law.
Most of us are on Android so we could not test this app, nor was the TFB party yacht available to see if it could alert us when we reached international waters. The app is selling for $2.99, which I think is reasonable. I would actually rather it was a subscription based service, maybe $2 / year, so that the author had an ongoing incentive to keep the database up to date.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Your app may work in the proper places throughout the US, however, every gun owner already knows which areas are friendly and which are not.
By making this app for states along the Mexico Border allowing the people to know when the Illegal Mexicans have crossed the border would be more sensible
Back to the drawing board
I guess this is better than the Apple App that allows users to plug in information on neighbors who own firearms!
