Crossings finds the moments you and a friend were in the same place, even from before you met. The match could be a coffee shop, a concert crowd, a city you both passed through years ago. We surface those quiet overlaps and let you optionally reveal the photos from them to each other. How it works: - The app scans your camera roll on-device and uploads only hashed metadata (timestamp + rounded location). No photos, names, or precise coordinates ever leave your phone. - Add a friend with a 6-character invite code or shareable link. - We compute "crossings", moments you were both in the same place at the same time, and show them on a timeline. - For each crossing, you choose whether to reveal photos. Their side stays private until you do. Terms of Use: https://crossings.so/terms Privacy Policy: https://crossings.so/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Securus Mobile at none against Crossings's 1. Securus Mobile also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 1) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). Crossings's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
