PALO ALTO, Calif., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Alohar Mobile Inc., an Alibaba company, announced today the availability of the Alohar Mobile Platform—a powerful context-aware developer platform—for iOS and Android devices. With the Alohar Mobile Platform, developers can create easy-to-use applications that automatically recognize the end-user's location, place and time information. Intelligent mobile applications can be developed for any category, including social networking, smart personal assistant, shopping and coupons, travel and enterprise workforce management.

"The Alohar Platform enables app developers to build mobile apps that are persistent, personalized, proactive and predictive," said Sam Liang, CEO of Alohar Mobile.
"Being persistent allows apps to detect context automatically without requiring the user to manually open the app. Personalized means the app can learn user preferences in the background and enhance the overall experience based on interests. Past behavior allows the app to anticipate and predict what a user may need and then proactively offer services even before they are manually requested."
Current development partners using the platform include: Citymaps, MileIQ, GreenOwl Mobile, Wanderful Media, Solo Launcher and Tend Mobile. Each partner has released or are building applications that harness Alohar's technology to provide a personalized user experience and highly targeted relevant offers.
"Our technology has been selected by the most experienced location-based application developers in the world because of its ability to create magical context-aware applications that understand the end-user's complete mobile life," continue Mr. Liang, CEO of Alohar Mobile.
In addition to the platform, Alohar Mobile has also introduced the first release of the company's proprietary context-aware analytics. This unique analytics platform gives developers the power to accurately portray a user's complete mobile life including where they shop, eat, live, work and how they spend their free time. With these insights, developers are building smarter contextual applications that are easier and more enjoyable to use.
Alohar's technologies require very low power consumption and can be integrated into iOS and Android application via Alohar's SDKs. Alohar provides free pricing to get started and easy-to-understand paid pricing for apps larger than 100,000 Monthly Active User (MAU).
