With Reakorder, the whole world becomes your playground, live. Reakorder isn't just another social network or streaming app. It's the app that lets you ask someone, wherever they are, to film live just for you. No more watching a public stream lost among thousands of others: you get a personal, exclusive and instant experience. Picture this: you're about to book a vacation rental? Don't settle for the listing photos: get the neighborhood filmed live, the street, the nearest beach, the local shops, and steer the camera yourself wherever you want to look, before you book. Or would you rather feel the atmosphere of a concert you can't make it to, or explore a busy street in Tokyo? With Reakorder, you send a request (an RFR – Request For Reakording) and another user films the moment for you. It's simple, fast and above all unique: a live stream just for you. How does it work? Install the app and create your profile in seconds. Turn on location to appear on the map and see where your friends and public Reakorders are. Send a live request to a friend or to a Reakorder near a place you're curious about. Instantly receive the live video and guide the recording in real time: camera direction, zoom, voice instructions transcribed live, pointing out the subject to film. When the live ends, rate your experience and choose whether to go again. Offer your own recordings With MySpot, create your recording offer: a photo, a title, a description, and publish it on the map, right where you are. Users find you more easily and send you their live requests. Why choose Reakorder? Because you don't watch a random live stream: you decide where, when and what to see. Because it's fun, interactive and ultra-personal. It's as if you were the one filming! Because you can be a viewer one moment and a creator the next, switching from requester to Reakorder. Because it's a new way to share the world with friends, discover places and experience emotions from afar. Reakorder: your eye anywhere, on demand.
