Enquire app helps you gain a better understanding of things going on in your neighborhood and solve local issues. The app allows you to ask anything in your neighborhood and gives human perspectives to problems that aren't easily dealt with through a simple [Yelp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yelp-2) or [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spendher-hotline) search.

The mobile app has already launched in New York City, Paris and San Francisco. Once a city has 200 enquirers, the app can be launched in that area. Other cities soon to reach blastoff include Boston, LA, Austin and Chicago. From questions like 'Where can I fix my friggin' bike around here?' to 'What offensive strategy should the Nets have for the last quarter' Enquire lets your community answer local issues that matter the most to you.
