The Spot app was recently launched and is available in both the Apple App Store and Android Play Store. Users in Central Florida can find over 2,000 spots in their area to be active, from hiking trails to basketball courts, including up-to-date location information and real user reviews. Spot expects to see rapid growth based on demand metrics, and with it, expanding geographical coverage.
