How does it work?

Defining the location of the member is an important aspect for the app to function. A definite Pin zone is the base to locate users and set out information on their finger tips. The stipulated radius is anything between 100 meters to 3 miles. An active pin zone is created by the server program to search for related data from the database. These include deals, friends or songs, as per the feature that is in use.

Coffee shops – the "friend" feature can enhance customer loyalty for coffee shops. Time sensitive offers can be promoted in real-time.

Fitness Clubs – Special offers can be put over store front or other key location. A peek of the club with the available machines in real time can be learned for customer convenience.
