Hyperlocal Messaging Apps

'Surprisee' Allows Users to Pin Content to Specific Places

— November 6, 2017 — Tech
Ever wanted to surprise a loved one in another city? With 'Surprisee,' you can drop messages (photos, videos, text or voice recordings) for friends in specific locations and they will receive it once they are at the exact spot where another user left a message for them.

The number of use cases is endless: a user can surprise or prank people they know or leave reminders in certain locations where they are relevant, or just use it for scavenger hunts or geocaching. Users can also make their Surprisees public and see the content other users dropped in their area. Users can also comment on it, leave reactions and follow each other. Surprisee users can get to know people in their area and see other locations where they left content or recommendations.

This hyperlocal tool provides a new layer of relevancy to content by pinning it to locations that are meaningful. Surprisee is already available in the App Store and the Android version will be released soon.
