Knowing the location of mobile devices is becoming more and more important in recent years due to an increasing number of consumer-oriented applications. Depending on the location, it allows us to personalize ads for the user, display weather forecasts, and find all nearby institutions that we need at a given moment. In this thesis, we presented various ways to implement location awareness in mobile applications on Android and iOS platforms. We implemented an application in which the location awareness was made possible through geofences. In the course of this work, we established that the accuracy depends on the speed of movement of the device and the radius of the location region.
