## What is Vibe?

Vibe is 1) an anonymous neighborhood message board, and 2) a viewer of nearby instagrams and tweets.

Post and reply to Vibe messages wherever you are - without an account, password, or login.  View what people are vibing, instagraming and tweeting around you without logging into Instagram or Twitter.

Vibe is the easiest and fastest way to find out what's happening in a place: just move the map to it and you'll see what people there are instagraming/tweeting/vibing whether in a dorm, a club, on the street, in a stadium, or at a conference.

Vibe is a must-have app for students, alumni, and journalists:

- Students: check out what your schoolmates are posting in the dorm and around campus.

- Alumni: see what's going on at your alma mater - at the game, in the quad, or the cafeteria.

- Journalists: research what people are saying in trouble spots around the world.  Connect with eyewitnesses there.


Vibe has two main sections:

1. "The Vibe Around Here"  shows recent vibes, instagrams, and tweets right around where you are right now - as a timeline or on a map.

2.  "The Vibe Around There" lets you explore what's being shared anywhere in the world just by moving the map to that location.


Discover and participate in the vibe around you - it's easy, fun, and free.

### 1/5 — Not sure it still works?

*2022-10-29, version 3.8.1*

I’d like to give it more stars but nothing ever pops up in the app. I even tried posting, to see if it show something, and nothing displayed on the map. I tried looking in bigger cities like Seattle and New York, where something should display- and nothing still. I noticed the reviews are like 8-12 years old. I went to their website, and the posts there where like 2012, so I think this app is a bust. Maybe? I don’t know?

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2016-02-08, version 3.8.0*

A quick and easy way to see the Instagram messages and photos posted around your location. I have a cabin in the mountains and it's awesome to see all the photos posted by those who enjoy the PCT and my woods. This app works consistently and perfectly. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2015-06-27, version 3.8.0*

Bookmarking different locations doesn't work.

### 1/5 — No

*2015-04-19, version 3.8.0*

Not good

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2014-09-13, version 3.8.0*

It's pretty awesome app. I approve :) nice way to stalk people jk. But it's still really cool to see what's going on around the area

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2013-12-24, version 3.5.1*

Yes amazing

### 1/5 — Bad

*2013-07-11, version 3.4.0*

Bad

### 2/5 — Pointless

*2013-03-23, version 3.1*

Massively disappointing

### 4/5 — Block feature

*2013-03-13, version 3.0.1*

It's has potential, but I was wondering can a block option be added. Certain user harass you.

### 5/5 — Interesting app

*2013-03-03, version 3.0*

I like the anonymity of the app. Wish it would get broader adoption
