Have you read the Requirements or the Getting Started section of the product guide?

A device running the app needs to be on the same network, so in effect you need two phones: one creates the network, and the other runs the app. 
 

If there’s a network there you may need a travel router, and then you can use it and your phone. 
 

Or get a Roam 1 or 2 or Move 1 or 2 and connect by Bluetooth. But other than Move2 they’ll need to be set up on wifi first.
