Around is a mobile app that shows postings (or 'Rounds') submitted by people near your current location. Distance is key in Around: the closer a Round is posted, the more likely it is to appear in the app.
Even though Around is currently invitation-only, it is designed to be open to anyone who uses it responsibly. Remember that anything you post might be shown to other users, though you can delete your content at any time.
The app relies on GPS localization. Without it, posts reach an irrelevant audience and the experience is diminished. However, feel free to use it in "read-only" mode. Enjoy every moment you have, at the place you are.
The fundamental unit of content. Text-based posts or images strictly anchored to a latitude and longitude.
See content generated nearby. If nothing is close, be the first to start posting.
A unique interaction mechanism. "Pop" a Round to increase its visibility and relevance in the area.
Robust blocking and reporting tools. Invite-only beta to ensure a high-quality community.
Available as native mobile apps.
