The social media app development of a dynamic location-based social networking platform.
Bombay Softwares has developed an app that connects people within their local communities and allows businesses to promote events and offers.
The solution leverages both social networking app development and entertainment app development principles to deliver a versatile experience for users and retailers alike.
Our client wanted to build a flexible platform that helps strengthen connections within local communities while giving businesses an effective way to promote their products and events. The aim was to develop a social networking app that brings people together and also serves as a valuable marketing tool for retailers.
The app features a Tinder-like swipe function, making it easy for users to find new friends, and potential dates, or discover local events. A map view allows users to explore nearby groups, activities, and special offers from local businesses, informing them about what's happening around them.
Users can join or create groups, have one-on-one or group chats, and even use a special filter to connect with people aged 60 and above. The app offers retailers a chance to create profiles, showcase events, and promote offers with eye-catching images to attract customers and increase engagement.
This solution helps community members and local businesses interact smoothly, providing a platform for people to connect and for retailers to grow through targeted promotions and events. The app has become a reliable tool for building local connections and boosting business visibility.
