The vast amount of information available regarding businesses on the Internet can be overwhelming for users to comb through, so the 'Bigbee' app is a new solution to help users crowdsource their specific questions.
The app works by letting users post a question to a specific area that will be seen by all surrounding users who can choose to answer with their firsthand information. This accelerates a user's ability to make decisions on where they stay, eat and drink while traveling or even in their own city to find hidden gems.
The 'Bigbee' app keeps users private to help elicit a sense of candidness about specific businesses and let individuals feel safer when traveling that their identity won't be disclosed to strangers.
