How do you set the place with Roam?
- On the iPhone you'll use, open the passes and choose a day, a week, a month or a year.
- Continue in Safari. It reads your iPhone's UDID, then you pay. Your personal install link arrives by e-mail.
- Install Roam from that link. It is not on the App Store. When iOS asks, turn on Developer Mode in Settings › Privacy & Security › Developer Mode, then restart.
- Open Roam, search for a place or drop a pin, and tap Teleport.
