Easy to navigate

I like the easy navigation, it took me literally 5 minutes to figure it out. Very useful app I wish more people are aware of this app, I think this app will be the next big thing as soon people realize the power. Going away from review to this crowd sourced platform will be a game changer.

I love the chat feature

I was able to see when someone checked-in near me and the app allows me to contact the person while the person is at the place, I don’t know if this violates privacy but that is brilliant. I didn’t see this feature in any app. Wish you the best of success.

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind words, when we’ve developed the app we did to eliminate the communication boundaries and allow to connect with nearby people in real-time. We hope you continue using the app and sharing with friends.

Happy with this app

Unlike other apps this app didn’t allow me to check-in just until I arrived at the place which makes sense because how will people know the vibes of a place if they are not there. The only drawback for the moment is the app requires the input of users like waze to provide the status of places.

Thanks for your review, when we checked other apps on the market we found that allowing users to check-in from their home is not ethical and misleading. We ask our community to start sharing and keep updating their status to keep the data refresh, as the community grows the app become more interesting and powerful.

Great app

Love how you're able to share and rate places you go to with cool features.
