What 785 miles adds up to
Love Taps counts how far your taps have traveled: each tap adds the distance between your two cities. At 785 miles apart:
- 32 taps cover the distance around the Earth at the equator (24,901 miles).
- 305 taps cover the average distance to the Moon (238,855 miles).
- One tap a day for a year adds up to 286,543 miles, 11.5 times around the Earth.
The app asks for your two cities by name and never uses your location.
