App Profile: Ping: social map

Stay close with your friends. Ping lets you share statuses, see where your friends are at, and get notified when they’re nearby.

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
Whether you're looking to see who's free, what's going on, or simply want to share your vibe, Ping makes it easy. We put statuses on the map, giving you a live snapshot of what's happening with your friends. No more endless scrolling or planning – just real updates, in real-time.

And just to be clear: we’re definitely not another social media app. We're a location-based social utility app (what a mouthful, how about just a social map).

HOW WE DO IT
• Map Statuses – our map shows you statuses from friends. Whether it's yoga in the park, a heated debate over pizza, or vibing with their plant collection, it's all mapped out and always changing.

• Friend Alerts – get notified when your besties are nearby or making moves. Link up when they’re close, or keep tabs from afar.

• Pinging – a throwback that repurposing because, why not? RIP Blackberry pings, and say hello to our quick, fun pings you can send to easily meet up with friends.
