Nearby

The map-based social media Android app

About

Nearby is our new Map-Oriented social media application. Where users can post their own events/pictures as clickable pins on a main map page for other users to see. Users can then discuss or reply to comments about those location pictures/event posts in their dedicated comment forum. Users can filter posts by distance, time, and interest to find nearby events or posts of their interests!
