Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2016 amounts to the 2017 classifications for comparative purposes. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SITO Mobile, Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SITO Mobile Solutions Inc., SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLC, SITO Mobile Media Inc. and DoubleVision Networks Inc. (“DoubleVision”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts, as well as those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2017. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable are reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives: Software development 2-3 years Equipment and computer hardware 5 years Office furniture 5-7 years Leasehold Improvements 5 years Long-Lived Assets The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. We assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. ASC 350, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value including estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment. There were no impairments recorded to goodwill for the periods presented. Capitalized Software Development Costs The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with ASC Topic 350-40 “Internal-Use Software.” As required by ASC 350-40, the Company capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of two to three years. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life. Patent and Patent Application Costs Intangible assets include patents developed and purchased which are recorded at cost. The cost of the patents are capitalized and once issued, are amortized over their remaining useful lives. Future costs incurred for issued patents are expensed as incurred. Capital Leases Assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased assets. The assets are depreciated over the lower of their related lease terms or their estimated productive lives. Depreciation of the assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Debt Issuance Costs Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the related term of the debt and are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. Income Taxes The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities. The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense. Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services and property. The non-cash consideration paid pertains to consulting services, the acquisition of a software license, the acquisition of DoubleVision Networks Inc. and assets purchased from Hipcricket, Inc. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes media placement revenue based on the activity of mobile users viewing ads through developer applications and mobile websites. Media placement revenues are recognized when the Company’s advertising services are delivered based on the specific terms of the advertising contract, which are commonly based on the number of ads delivered, or views, clicks or actions by users on mobile advertisements. At such time, the Company’s services have been provided, the fees charged are fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize media placement revenue based on the gross amount billed to the customers or the net amount earned as revenue. When the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, has latitude in establishing prices, is responsible for fulfillment of the transaction, has credit risk, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded on a gross basis. While none of the factors individually are considered presumptive or determinative, in reaching conclusions on gross versus net revenue recognition, the Company places the most weight on the analysis of whether or not it is the primary obligor in the arrangement. The Company records the net amounts as media placement revenue earned if it is not primarily obligated or does not have latitude in establishing prices or credit risk. In general, licensing and royalty revenue arrangements provide for the payment of contractually determined fees in consideration for the patented technologies owned by or controlled by the Company’s operating subsidiary. The intellectual property rights granted may be perpetual in nature, extending until the expiration of the related patents, or can be granted for a defined, relatively short period of time, with the licensee possessing the right to renew the agreement at the end of each contractual term for an additional minimum upfront payment. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company’s operating subsidiary may have no further obligation with respect to the grant of the non-exclusive retroactive and future licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other deliverables, including no express or implied obligation on the Company’s operating subsidiary’s part to maintain or upgrade the technology, or provide future support or services. Generally, the agreements provide for the grant of licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon the execution of the agreement, or upon the receipt off the minimum upfront payment for term agreement renewals. As such, when the Company has no further obligation under the agreement, the earnings process is complete and revenue is recognized upon the execution of the agreement, when collectability is reasonably assured, or upon receipt of the minimum upfront fee for term agreement renewals, and when all the other revenue recognition criteria have been met, otherwise the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement based on the contractually determined fees. The licensing and royalty revenue arrangement was extended in the second quarter of 2017. Deferred revenue arises from timing differences between the delivery of services and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue results from the advance payment for services to be delivered over a period of time, usually less than one-year increments. Stock Based Compensation Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Binomial or Black-Scholes option-pricing models, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. Loss per Share The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted loss per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. On July 29, 2015, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The reverse split became effective in the market on July 30, 2015. Following the reverse split, every ten shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company. No fractional shares are to be issued. As a result, all prior per share calculations reflect the effects of this reverse stock split. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company primarily transacts its business with two financial institutions. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time to time exceed the federally-insured limit. Excluding discontinued operations, of the Company’s revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately 20% was generated from contracts with advertising agencies. The Company’s accounts receivable is typically unsecured and are derived from U.S. customers in different industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. Excluding assets from discontinued operations as of September 30, 2017, one customer accounted for 13% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance, and as of December 31, 2016, one customer accounted for 28% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Business Combinations The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets. The Company expenses all costs as incurred related to an acquisition under general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB released ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard and available adoption methods, we believe the standard will require us to implement new revenue accounting processes, which will create more robust changes over our internal controls over revenue recognition. We are continuing to evaluate the new guidance to determine any other impacts on our consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	9. Discontinued Operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate major line of business that had been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Consolidated Balance Sheets are re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year. On February 7, 2017, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell the Wireless Application business for $400,000, of which $310,000 was received on the closing date and the remaining $90,000 will be paid upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing covenants. Of the $90,000 payable upon satisfaction of the post-closing covenants, $40,000 was earned and collected by the Company, with the remaining $50,000 not expected to be satisfied, for a total sale price of $350,000. The Company has reported the Wireless Application segment as Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows with related assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, included as Assets of business held for sale and Liabilities of business held for sale.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes As of September 30, 2017, the Company has a net operating loss carryover of approximately $39,670,211 available to offset future income for income tax reporting purposes, which will expire in various years through 2036, if not previously utilized. The Company’s ability to use the carryover net operating loss may be substantially limited or eliminated pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. A limitation may apply to the use of the net operating loss and credit carryforwards, under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable if we experience an “ownership change”. That may occur, for example, as a result of trading in our stock by significant investors as well as issuance of new equity. Should these limitations apply, the carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation, resulting in a substantial reduction in the gross deferred tax. Our policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no federal income tax, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liability on the balance sheet. We are not currently involved in any income tax examinations.

At the closing of the NPA, the Company issued and sold a senior secured note (the “Note”) with an aggregate original principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Original Principal Amount”) and issued, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, 261,954 new shares of common stock to Fortress for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 or $3.817 per share (which represents the trailing 30-day average closing price). After deducting original issue discount of 10% on the Notes and a structuring fee to the Investors, the Company received proceeds of $8,850,000, prior to the payment of related legal and due diligence expenses. On July 11, 2017, TAR SITO LendCo LLC (“TAR LendCo”), an entity owned and controlled by Julian Singer, the son of Karen Singer, acquired from Fortress Credit Opportunities V CLO Limited, CF EZ LLC, and CF DB EZ LLC all rights, title and interest as “Purchaser” and “Revenue Participant” under the NPA and related documents. On August 1, 2017, the Company used approximately $4,900,000 of the proceeds of an offering common stock and warrants to prepay in full all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest due through the date of repayment and termination fees payable with respect to the Note. The Company has no further obligations with respect to the Note but remains obligated to continue to make payment with respect to the Revenue Stream upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the NPA. Prior to the repayment of the Note in full on August 1, 2017, the principal amount of the Note bore interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 9% per annum. Such interest was payable in cash, except that 2% per annum of such interest was to be paid-in-kind, by increasing the principal amount of the Note by the amount of such interest. The term of the Note was 42 months and the Company was required to make, beginning in October 2015, monthly amortization payments on the Note, each in a principal amount equal to $333,334 until the Note was paid in full. The Company was also required to apply 85% of Monetization Revenues (as defined in the NPA) from certain of the Company’s patents unrelated to its core business activities (the “Patents”) to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on, and then to repay outstanding principal (at par) of, the Note until all amounts due with respect to the Note were paid in full. After the repayment of the principal amount of the Note and all accrued interest thereunder, which occurred on August 1, 2017, the Company is obligated to pay the Revenue Participants (a) 50% of Monetization Revenues until such time as the Revenue Participants have received $2,500,000 in the aggregate with respect to the Revenue Stream, (b) 30% of the Monetization Revenues thereafter, until such time that the Revenue Participants have received $5,000,000 in the aggregate with respect to the Revenue Stream, and (c) 10% of the Monetization Revenues thereafter, until the Revenue Stream has been fully satisfied. In addition, upon any acceleration of the Notes and Revenue Stream, the Company is obligated to pay the Revenue Participants 100% of the Monetization Revenues until the Revenue Stream has been fully satisfied. The Company was also required to pay $350,000 to the Note Purchaser upon repayment of the Note, which payment was also made on August 1, 2017. The NPA contains certain standard Events of Default. The Company granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a non-exclusive, royalty free, license (including the right to grant sublicenses) with respect to the Patents, which is evidenced by, and reflected in, a Patent License Agreement between the Company, its subsidiary Single Touch Interactive, Inc., and Fortress. The Patent License Agreement provides that the Collateral Agent may only use such license following an Event of Default. Pursuant to a Security Agreement among the parties, the Company granted the Collateral Agent a first priority senior security interest in all of the Company’s assets. The Company and the Collateral Agent assigned a value of $500,000 to the revenue sharing terms of the NPA and in accordance with ASC 470-10-25 “Debt Recognition”, the Company recognized $500,000 as deferred revenue and a discount on the Note that is amortized over the 42-month term of the Note using the effective interest method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $70,726 and $130,653, respectively, in licensing revenue and interest expense from amortization of the deferred revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $32,934 and $107,823, respectively, in licensing revenue and interest expense from amortization of the deferred revenue. On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 (the “Amendment”) to the NPA. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, principal payment on the Notes issued pursuant to the NPA was reduced from $333,333 to $175,000 for the period commencing on the last business day of February 2016 through the last business day of February 2017 and from $333,333 to $300,000 for the period commencing on the last business day of March 2017 to the last day of business on February 2018, with the final payment on the last business day on March 2018 increased to repay the remaining principal in full. In consideration for the Amendment, the Company agreed to pay a restructuring fee of $100,000 and issue 200,000 shares of its common stock with an aggregate value of $568,000 to the Purchasers. Interest expense on the Note for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $47,280 and $374,287, respectively. Amortization of the discounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $430,108 and $794,548, respectively, which was charged to interest expense. Accrual of termination fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $49,508 and $91,457, respectively, which was charged to interest expense. Interest expense on the Note for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $203,681 and $644,405, respectively. Amortization of the discounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $200,281 and $570,267, respectively, which was charged to interest expense. Accrual of termination fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $23,054 and $75,476, respectively, which was charged to interest expense.

Related Party Transactions	13. Related Party Transactions On April 21, 2014, SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, through a joint venture (the “JV”) with Personalized Media Communications, LLC (“PMC”), entered into a Joint Licensing Program Agreement (the “JV License Agreement”) with a national broadcasting entity (“Licensee”) pursuant to which the JV granted the Licensee a term-limited license ( the “License”) to all patents licensable by the JV (“JV Patents”), including an exclusive license to assert the JV Patents against certain infringing parties in the media distribution industry. In exchange for the License, the Licensee has agreed to pay the JV an annual fee of $1,250,000 for a minimum of three years (“Annual Fee”), subject to a right of the Licensee to renew the License for an additional four years. Under the arrangement, if the Licensee has paid a total of $8,750,000 in license fees, either in one lump sum or after paying $1,250,000 annually for seven years, the License would be deemed to be perpetual. For JV Patent infringement actions provided for under the License, the Licensee will pay 20% of the gross proceeds from settlements received less any Annual Fee amounts paid and litigation costs incurred (“Share of Proceeds”). SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLC and PMC have agreed serve as co-plaintiffs with the Licensee in infringement actions under the License and the Licensee has agreed to be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs of the JV associated with being a co-plaintiff in supporting the Licensee in such litigation, including attorneys’ fees. The Licensee will pay the Annual Fee and any Share of Proceeds to the JV. The Company is entitled to 30% of any proceeds received by the JV. In the event that the Licensee does not assert any infringement actions under its rights in the License prior to April 2019, the JV may, at its sole option, choose to terminate Licensee’s exclusive right to assert infringement claims with no reduction or adjustment to the Annual Fee. On May 23, 2017, the parties renewed the JV License Agreement for an additional four years in exchange for an upfront payment to the JV of $4,500,000, of which the Company received $1,350,000. The Company’s share of the renewal fee was paid to the Note Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the NPA. (See Note 11 – Note Payable.) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $85,068 and $226,637, respectively, in revenue under the JV License Agreement and as of September 30, 2017, the Company has $1,238,117 in deferred revenue under the JV License Agreement.

Fair Value

Fair Value	9 Months Ended

Fair Value [Abstract]
Fair Value	14. Fair Value The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. The Company determines the fair value of obligations under capital lease, notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations (Level 2). ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below: ● Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. ● Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. ● Level 3.

Commitments and Contingencies	16. Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases The Company leases office space in Jersey City, New Jersey; Meridian, Idaho; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; New York, New York; Atlanta, Georgia; and Boston, Massachusetts. The Company’s Boise office space is subject to a 38-month lease that commenced on May 1, 2014. The Jersey City office lease, amended on November 6, 2014, expires on November 30, 2018 and the Company has the option to extend the term for an additional five years. In addition to paying rent, under the terms of the Jersey City office lease the Company is also required to pay its pro rata share of the property’s operating expenses. The other office locations are month-to-month commitments. Rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $125,061 and $343,405, respectively. Rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $80,307 and $292,522, respectively. Minimum future rental payments under non-cancellable operating leases with terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 2017 for the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate are: Remainder of 2017 $ 183,704 2018 333,623 2019 322,152 2020 26,846 2021 - $ 866,325 Legal In the normal course of its business, the Company may be involved in various claims, negotiations and legal actions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company is not aware of any asserted or un-asserted claims, negotiations and legal actions for which a loss is considered reasonably possible of occurring and would require recognition under guidance in ASC 450. A purported securities class action lawsuit was filed on February 17, 2017 in the United States District Court of New Jersey against the Company and our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, and our former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The complaint alleges violations of various securities laws. This action was brought on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between February 9, 2016 and January 2, 2017 and seeks unspecified money damages. The allegations in this complaint center on allegedly materially false and/or misleading statements, misrepresenting SITO’s media placement revenues. A motion for appointment of lead plaintiff is now pending. Discovery has not commenced. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this matter. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has recorded an accrual to defend this action which represent the amount incurred which is not covered by its insurance policy.

Summary of Significant Accoun24

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2017
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Reclassification	Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2016 amounts to the 2017 classifications for comparative purposes.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SITO Mobile, Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SITO Mobile Solutions Inc., SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLC, SITO Mobile Media Inc. and DoubleVision Networks Inc. (“DoubleVision”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts, as well as those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2017.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable, net	Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable are reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.
Property and Equipment, net	Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives: Software development 2-3 years Equipment and computer hardware 5 years Office furniture 5-7 years Leasehold Improvements 5 years
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived Assets The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. We assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. ASC 350, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value including estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment. There were no impairments recorded to goodwill for the periods presented.
Capitalized Software Development Costs	Capitalized Software Development Costs The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop or purchase computer software for internal use in accordance with ASC Topic 350-40 “Internal-Use Software.” As required by ASC 350-40, the Company capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over a period of two to three years. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.
Patent and Patent Application Costs	Patent and Patent Application Costs Intangible assets include patents developed and purchased which are recorded at cost. The cost of the patents are capitalized and once issued, are amortized over their remaining useful lives. Future costs incurred for issued patents are expensed as incurred.
Capital Leases	Capital Leases Assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased assets. The assets are depreciated over the lower of their related lease terms or their estimated productive lives. Depreciation of the assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
Debt Issuance Costs	Debt Issuance Costs Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the related term of the debt and are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs is included in interest expense.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities. The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense.
Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration	Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services and property. The non-cash consideration paid pertains to consulting services, the acquisition of a software license, the acquisition of DoubleVision Networks Inc. and assets purchased from Hipcricket, Inc.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue	Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes media placement revenue based on the activity of mobile users viewing ads through developer applications and mobile websites. Media placement revenues are recognized when the Company’s advertising services are delivered based on the specific terms of the advertising contract, which are commonly based on the number of ads delivered, or views, clicks or actions by users on mobile advertisements. At such time, the Company’s services have been provided, the fees charged are fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize media placement revenue based on the gross amount billed to the customers or the net amount earned as revenue. When the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, has latitude in establishing prices, is responsible for fulfillment of the transaction, has credit risk, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded on a gross basis. While none of the factors individually are considered presumptive or determinative, in reaching conclusions on gross versus net revenue recognition, the Company places the most weight on the analysis of whether or not it is the primary obligor in the arrangement. The Company records the net amounts as media placement revenue earned if it is not primarily obligated or does not have latitude in establishing prices or credit risk. In general, licensing and royalty revenue arrangements provide for the payment of contractually determined fees in consideration for the patented technologies owned by or controlled by the Company’s operating subsidiary. The intellectual property rights granted may be perpetual in nature, extending until the expiration of the related patents, or can be granted for a defined, relatively short period of time, with the licensee possessing the right to renew the agreement at the end of each contractual term for an additional minimum upfront payment. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company’s operating subsidiary may have no further obligation with respect to the grant of the non-exclusive retroactive and future licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other deliverables, including no express or implied obligation on the Company’s operating subsidiary’s part to maintain or upgrade the technology, or provide future support or services. Generally, the agreements provide for the grant of licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon the execution of the agreement, or upon the receipt off the minimum upfront payment for term agreement renewals. As such, when the Company has no further obligation under the agreement, the earnings process is complete and revenue is recognized upon the execution of the agreement, when collectability is reasonably assured, or upon receipt of the minimum upfront fee for term agreement renewals, and when all the other revenue recognition criteria have been met, otherwise the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement based on the contractually determined fees. The licensing and royalty revenue arrangement was extended in the second quarter of 2017. Deferred revenue arises from timing differences between the delivery of services and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue results from the advance payment for services to be delivered over a period of time, usually less than one-year increments.
Stock Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Binomial or Black-Scholes option-pricing models, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
Loss per Share	Loss per Share The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted loss per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. On July 29, 2015, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The reverse split became effective in the market on July 30, 2015. Following the reverse split, every ten shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company. No fractional shares are to be issued. As a result, all prior per share calculations reflect the effects of this reverse stock split.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company primarily transacts its business with two financial institutions. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time to time exceed the federally-insured limit. Excluding discontinued operations, of the Company’s revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately 20% was generated from contracts with advertising agencies. The Company’s accounts receivable is typically unsecured and are derived from U.S. customers in different industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. Excluding assets from discontinued operations as of September 30, 2017, one customer accounted for 13% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance, and as of December 31, 2016, one customer accounted for 28% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets. The Company expenses all costs as incurred related to an acquisition under general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB released ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. While we continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard and available adoption methods, we believe the standard will require us to implement new revenue accounting processes, which will create more robust changes over our internal controls over revenue recognition. We are continuing to evaluate the new guidance to determine any other impacts on our consolidated financial statements.

Licensing agreement terms, Description	The parties renewed the JV License Agreement for an additional four years in exchange for an upfront payment to the JV of $4,500,000, of which the Company received $1,350,000. The Company's share of the renewal fee was paid to the Note Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the NPA.	In exchange for the License, the Licensee has agreed to pay the JV an annual fee of $1,250,000 for a minimum of three years (“Annual Fee”), subject to a right of the Licensee to renew the License for an additional four years. Under the arrangement, if the Licensee has paid a total of $8,750,000 in license fees, either in one lump sum or after paying $1,250,000 annually for seven years, the License would be deemed to be perpetual. For JV Patent infringement actions provided for under the License, the Licensee will pay 20% of the gross proceeds from settlements received less any Annual Fee amounts paid and litigation costs incurred (“Share of Proceeds”). SITO Mobile R&D IP, LLC and PMC have agreed serve as co-plaintiffs with the Licensee in infringement actions under the License and the Licensee has agreed to be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs of the JV associated with being a co-plaintiff in supporting the Licensee in such litigation, including attorneys’ fees. The Licensee will pay the Annual Fee and any Share of Proceeds to the JV. The Company is entitled to 30% of any proceeds received by the JV. In the event that the Licensee does not assert any infringement actions under its rights in the License prior to April 2019, the JV may, at its sole option, choose to terminate Licensee’s exclusive right to assert infringement claims with no reduction or adjustment to the Annual Fee.
