Explore, share, and experience the world around you. KEY FEATURES • The World is Your Newsfeed Your feed is built from the places you go. As you travel, you collect posts from locations you pass. At home, see trending content and friend updates. On the move, the feed shifts to your interests and surroundings. For a pure experience, turn off the algorithm and see everything. You are the curator. • Hotspot Feeds: Your Front Row to the World Get a front-row seat to unfolding events. Hotspot Feeds are real-time channels for high-traffic locations like concerts, celebrations, and breaking news, giving you a live, on-the-ground view of what's happening. • Trending, The Pinnie Way Watch a post go viral. Content trends locally first—seen by those who pass by the location. As local engagement grows, its reach expands. Witness a story travel from a single neighborhood to a global phenomenon. • PinPals™ — Your Global Trendsetting Crew Build your inner circle of PinPals™ to share a post across all their locations simultaneously. Your pin instantly drops where each PinPal is, whether across the street or the globe. With enough PinPals, a single post can start a nationwide trend. • Pin ID™ — The Key to Secure Messaging No more random DMs. To message you, others must first request your unique Pin ID™. A private chat is only opened upon your approval, ensuring every connection is intentional and consent-based. • Dual Rating System: Heart the Creator, Rate the Content Separate the creator from the content. Give a Heart to support the person and a Star Rating to review their topic. Love your friend but disagree with their opinion? Give a Heart for support but a 1-Star rating for the topic. This fosters honest feedback. • Dynamic Business Discovery Looking for the best local spots? Our business search is as dynamic as you are.
