Everything you need to know about PingRoom. Straight answers, no runaround.
Create a room, set up one-tap buttons, hit one — everyone in the room gets pinged instantly. Works for friends, families, teams, events, on-call crews, or anyone who needs a fast shared signal.
Near-instant. Notifications go straight to Apple (APNs) and Google (FCM) through our own delivery engine — no third-party middleman in the path, no extra hop to slow it down.
No. Location triggers use on-device geofencing — zero location data ever reaches our servers. When you cross a boundary, your phone fires the ping itself.
No — start as a guest, no email required. Upgrade later with a one-time email code when you want to keep your rooms across devices.

A numbered one-tap button inside a room. Tap it and everyone gets the ping you set up — a sound, a message, a signal. No typing, no friction.
