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.
Great feedback Michael — This is precisely the sort of stuff we're working to improve right now. Truth be told we launched (into a crazy weekend) with just a lot left to build… we're working on hooks like these and others to make the experience better for new users out the gate. 🙌
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!
