Gowalla makes it fun and effortless to keep up with friends IRL. ADD YOUR FAVORITE PLACES to the map CHECK IN when you go out FIND YOUR CREW in the real world A social map and messenger that reminds you an app can connect you with your real friends again.
Gowalla is a nicely made product, but it needs to hit a critical mass amongst friends and neighbors for it to be useful. I also would have like to have gotten some friendly nudges when other folks found my locations useful, it might encourage me to mark more places.
Congratulations on the (re) launch!
To be honest, I was unaware of this app - although I've been using similar ones for many many years - but I'll definitely give it a try.
I'm not sure how popular this was in my country but how knows? Maybe now it's the time.
..and may I ask for an Athens (Greece) icon to choose from?
Again, all the best!
True story, Gowalla was instrumental in meeting my wife. I used it to plan our first dates and it really impressed her at the time. I hope it brings some of the original features back like the ability to leave designated messages to friends. :)
