Activity-Based Companion Apps

This App Helps Users Find Others to Partake in Social Activities

— October 10, 2015 — Lifestyle
An American startup recently designed an app that helps users find others to partake in social activities. For those who move to a new area, it can be difficult to find friends that share similar interests. This app provides an easy way for users to establish meaningful connections while enjoying different types of activities.

'Partake' is a mobile application that operates as a friend-finding platform. Unlike traditional social networks, Partake is specially designed to facilitate activity-planning between strangers. Users can browse through a list of popular activities or create their own. The app then uses a robust filter to find the perfect companions for each activity. The app is fully integrated with Facebook, making it easy for users to verify the identity of those they plan to meet.

The app provides a unique way for users to partake in social activities and make new friends at the same time.
