Friendcasts is an event planning tool that makes it easy to bring you and your friends together for fun times and meaningful connections. Unlike other apps that function like or require a social media account, Friendcasts is NOT a social media app. Friendcasts focuses only on the social aspect of bringing people together. WHY FRIENDCASTS? If you’ve ever tried to plan something then you know it can be difficult to organize people. There is pressure on the planner to message each person individually (which is inconvenient and time-consuming) or create a group chat (which is often difficult to leave). With Friendcasts, you can gauge interest in potential events in a pressure free way by creating an “Idea”. If anyone you include is interested all they have to do is press a button. When your Idea has enough interest, it can be easily transitioned to an official Event that includes a dedicated group chat, polls, and a place to upload photos of the memories you've made. After the Event has ended, you can find it in your profile page along with your other past Events. Photos can still be uploaded but the group chat and polls are locked to prevent unnecessary noise and help you focus on future Events. FEATURES - Events - For planned occasions that are definitely happening. - Ideas - Gauge interest in a potential event. When enough people indicate interest, you can get a notification and/or you can configure the Idea to automatically transition into an official Event. - Communities - Communities allow you to share events and ideas with specific people. Whether it's for a local club, sports group, board game group, or even a travel group, you can set up a community for it. - Chat - Each Event has a dedicated group chat to help make your plans a reality and includes GIF support for a little extra fun. - Polls - Perfect for gauging feedback, making group decisions, or creating sign-up sheets - Groups - Organize friends into custom groups for faster selection when creating an Idea or Event. - Location selection - Everyone in an Event can quickly pull up directions to the fun

Description Noticed You is designed to connect people who have experienced a ‘mutual notice’ in public and allows them to interact via messaging directly through the site. The site is free to join but upgradeable features can be purchased as well. The following are descriptions of features throughout the site: Profile Users will be able to create a profile which will have the option to post a profile photo, cover photo and basic info about the user. Favorites Users will be able to favorite other members and can also be favorited by others. Photos Users will be able to post 8 photos as free members but can post an additional 8 photos as upgraded members. Photos can be cropped. Photo Album In addition to photos, users will be able to post photos to a Photo Album, essentially grouping photos in one location. Messaging Users will be able to message each other, block users and delete conversations. Online Users There is a button located throughout the site which allows users to view other members that are currently online within a 30-mile radius of the users’ zip code. Usernames Users will create a ‘username’ at their discretion. Noticed You does not require that users use their own personal names as their username. Find Who Noticed You The find who noticed you feature is unique in that it allows users to locate the person with whom they experienced a ‘mutual notice.’ When attempting to locate a person the user simply will use the filters which include State, City, Specific Location and Key Identifiers. Key Identifiers are any descriptive item of clothing that either person was wearing during the mutual notice. Note: key identifiers can be items other than clothing, it can be a vehicle as well or anything that will assist in identifying e.g., Key Identifiers can look like this: Blue Dress, White Car, Black Pants. Free users will be able to use 3 Key Identifier filters. Upgraded members will be allowed to use an additional 3 filters for a total of 6 and will also be allowed to search using a Username filter as well. Upgradeable feature buttons such as Username Search, Additional Key Identifiers and Additional Photos are shaded in gray and once clicked the user will be redirected to the Payment Options page. Users will be able to search by Distance by inputting miles in increments of 10 miles with a max of 80 miles. Users can also search by Age Range. Note: It is not necessary to have noticed someone in public to browse other singles on the site. Edit Identifiers When editing identifiers, a user must enter as many details as possible in the Edit Identifiers page. The idea is that the person that they noticed will also enter a few matching details (details do not all need to match), in hopes of returning the person they noticed during their search. Key Identifiers, State, City, Specific Location and Zip Code editable fields on the Edit Identifiers page. Zip Code: The entered zip code here will allow the user to be displayed in other member searches. For example, when a user searches by zip code, when being displayed on the Photo Slider on the main page and in Online Users. 48-hour Wipe of fields: After 48 hours of inactivity on this page, a users’ information will be deleted. The reason behind this is to ensure that the user is actively using this feature and not returning in user searches while not using the service. Photo Slider As new members begin populating the site, the photo slider on the main page will display members of the opposite sex within a 90-mile radius. This is a trial and can be adjusted to a shorter distance by Noticed You. Note: Prior to becoming a member and when a person is just deciding whether to create a profile or not, both male and female members will be displayed on the photo slider. Up to 40 members will be displayed on the Photo Slider. Terms of Use: https://noticedyou.com/terms-and-agreement/
