Welcome to the Keycom community. An app where you can easily share pics, videos, or text things of interest. Find an activity partner. Notify other users of emergencies, store specials, events, departure times, etc. Perhaps even to ask a question or to advertise for help by sending A TEXT MESSAGE TO ALL OTHER APP USERS AT THE SAME TIME. You can adjust the GPS range to suit your needs, from 150m to 525km, or to unlimited range to reach other users globally. After you receive a response, you can either continue to chat in public or select to chat in private. You can also search for contacts. With Keycom, privacy is paramount. You are never required to use a real name, phone number, or sign up. This is what makes Keycom different. Instead of posting your phone number anywhere, use Keycom as your point of contact.
