About

PinBubbles

Read full description

Connect with people around you. PinBubbles turns the places you pass every day into a living conversation. Leave a short, time-limited message — a "bubble" — pinned to any spot on the map, and discover what people nearby are sharing right where you are. Leave a note where you're thinking of someone. Find people nearby to run or shoot hoops with. Help reunite a lost dog, or tell the block you found a wallet. Flag an accident ahead, wave down whoever's blocking the drive, or shout that the food truck just rolled in. Every bubble fades away on its own, so the map always reflects what's alive around you right now. Open your camera and step into AR to see nearby bubbles floating in real space — exactly where they were left. Real places. Real people. Right where you are. Business is an auto-renewable subscription. Your Apple ID is charged on confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://pinbubbles.app/en/privacy
