## What is LookFor?

Find friends in a crowd instantly with LookFor, the World’s Dumbest App!

LookFor is the best way to find friends (and be found) in large crowds, concerts, movie theaters and more! No internet connection or GPS needed!

To be found, simply select a color, hold your phone over your head and let the blinking light direct your friends to your exact location. That’s it! You will be amazed by how fast your friends find you! You can even instantly tell a friend or a group of friends to LookFor the color you chose with the in-app SMS messaging feature.

Sound dumb? Well…honestly it is dumb. In a world of smart apps, LookFor is easily The World’s Dumbest App. 

However, LookFor has proven to work EVERY TIME in situations like:

• Finding friends in packed concerts and music festivals (Beta tested at Coachella!)
• Instantly locating saved seats in a movie theater
• Being found in large outdoor crowds
• Flagging down a delivery vehicle 
• Hailing a taxi

Because LookFor relies on a blinking light for location, LookFor works best in low light or dark settings.

LookFor was made possible by Chupamobile, Planet 1107 and the amazing backers of our Kickstarter campaign.

### 4/5 — Pretty straightforward

*2019-10-09*

Overall simple and works as advertised.   I wish the blinking function could be turned off and just show a solid color.  I use it mostly so Uber drivers can find me in a crowd, and the blinking function is a bit overkill.

### 5/5 — Practical

*2017-02-04*

Easy to use. Nice layout. No clutter. No name/words to type just pure color. I like the simplicity. Just wanted to ask 1 feature to be included in the setting- the strobe delay. As for me the strobe flash is too fast? If we can have a setting to adjust it so we can better see the color then it would be great! Just like some of the strobe light use by bicycles and motorcycles, the strobe can be set to slow medium and fast.

### 5/5 — Genius

*2016-04-27*

Family tracing Works amazingly well...

### 5/5 — Simple and stable

*2016-04-18*

So simple and it works.

### 1/5 — I have a flashlight

*2016-04-18*

There is a flashlight built into my phone, why do I need this

### 5/5 — It’s true….it actually works

*2015-06-03*

I cannot believe that this thing actually works. Tried it at a show last night and was definitely surprised!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-02-18*

What a great idea! I just used it to find my boyfriend at a show last night.  I'm actually surprised it works!

### 5/5 — Better

*2015-02-18*

I have one more idea for your super app. Create a red one that flashes help. Now a days I believe it would be very well needed. Thank you!👍

### 3/5 — One problem, otherwise ok.

*2015-02-18*

The app works as advertised, however I purchased the neon color package, but the app says I did not purchase it and asks me if I want to purchase it again.  If the neon color package I purchased becomes available for use I would change my review to 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Awesome. Simple. Great!

*2015-02-12*

Simple but genius. Use it in crowded places when trying to find friends or as a strobe when your raving. A must have app!
