About

Socialpic

Read full description

You've been a regular somewhere for years. So has someone else. Socialpic is built around the places you actually go. Capture a moment where you are, and over time the app notices the places you return to. When enough regulars share a place, a circle forms there: a small group of the people who keep showing up at the same coffee shop, the same park, the same corner of the city. You don't create it or search for it. It forms. CIRCLES Every circle belongs to a place. Inside it you see the other regulars, the moments they've captured there, and a room to talk. Join the ones at your places, or just watch. CROSSINGS When your path crosses someone else's, at the same spot around the same time, Socialpic shows you. Not where they've been, only that you've crossed, and how often. Keep crossing and you can reach out. CAPTURE A moment is a photo pinned to the spot it was taken. Your moments build a map of your own places, and they're what circles and crossings are made from. OFFERS Businesses at your places can open a gathering: a few seats, a time, something on the table. Regulars of that circle get first look. Show the pass at the door, that's it. PRIVACY, BY DESIGN Location is used only while you're using the app. You choose whether a moment is public, whether you appear in Crossings at all, and whether your exact location is blurred. Your account can be private. Nobody sees where you've been, only what you choose to share. Delete your account, and everything, in one tap from Settings. Minimum age 13. Made by Cyligence, LLC.
