Android Town - social community application

BeerBelly · 08:08 AM

Ok, Android Town is now an obsolete name and application on the market. It was renamed to Peeples. Peeples is a seperate app on the market so you would need to download that one. It uses the same DB as Android Town so all your information is saved.

Peeples is a social community application which is location based. It enables users to see other users of the application on the map and strike up a conversation with them. Privacy options are also available.
So far the application has over 11k users.

Peeples has the added options of:
- uploading profile pictures and avatar through the application
- sending files from SD card with messages as attachments (5Mb limit for now)

Try it out and let me know what you think.

I downloaded this. It's pretty cool. I hope more people in New England join up.

Users are joining quite steadily so far. Around 180 across the globe right now.

And thank you all for helping. If you have any ideas, pleast let me know. I want to improve on this.

Some ideas so far include:
- integrating with other social networks (FB,Twitter); this way other users can see your public information without needing to fill out the profile yourself (maybe even include post to FB integration)
- adding a friend straight from the notifications screen
- including a public chat channel (at some point it'll have to be divided into regions)
- searching for people based on filters (age, sex, interests at some point)
- sending an invite (drink, date,...) to people near you. Of course people need to have the option enabled

What do you think?
