Spotty is a super simple app to precisely place a marker on a map, and then share its location with your friends. Spotty differentiates itself from other map bookmarking apps by being super easy to use and focused on the task at play. I’m finding myself using it extensively during my travels and I hope you will be too. With Spotty you can: · Mark any place on a map without specifying an address (such as street food) · Share that location as simply as sharing its unique link or QR code · Recall and organize important places and much much more is in the pipeline ...
