Now is a location-based social and dating mobile app that makes it easier than ever before for people to meet and enjoy real offline experiences at millions of public venues worldwide. No more endless chatting, fake profiles and time-wasting. We aim to help people connect in the now, where experiences are better shared.
@teamfc Hey Kunle, I began by reaching out to editors via Twitter, after a while when our name was out there, these write-ups came out without anything push. I do believe some startups pay agencies to get them exposure, but I wouldn't recommend it. Being organic and being framed next to key brands gives us better quality users. Find the right people and create good connections with them.
Now is a fun dating app. I feel like many of those kind of app tried to incorporate the geolocation but Now is different since it focuses on this feature. It's awesome if you're in a public venue and want to meet someone fast. I also like the UX and the design of the app is beautiful. Now is definitely an easy and fun app to meet new people.
Asking for clarification - do you have to have exact location revealed in order to see who is available, or do you get a list of "Nearby Singles" first and then match with them to reveal their location? Can you continue to chat if you aren't in the location perimeter? What if I look like garbage that day and want to meet up another time?
@boop Good question! We never reveal exact location always 250m approx, also map cannot zoom in past an X distance. We list singles based on an algorithm which categorizes users based on filter + [activity*distance*timestamp].
You will see a pool of results which fit your discovery settings. If your time availability fits other users, invite icon will be activated.
If users communicate, chat from matches will move into notifications area then activity, so you can continue conversations or organize a meetup.
So if you match with people in your city, you can continue talking and meet up the next day when your back in town.
I hope this helps answer your questions!
Curious if you have any women on your team, and what kind of user testing you've done around the app pre-launch. My initial reactions range from "concern" to "creeped out."
@veronica We do, and yes their are many safety protocols designed into the product under the surface.

When will this support email signup? I haven’t had a facebook account for years, and many of my friends deleted theirs after the Cambridge Analytica incident.
