Zumla - subscribe to the map!
Ios / / December 22, 2019
Now you can subscribe to any place on the map, and receive updates on news, events and people that appear there.
Perhaps the main reason for which users regularly visit social networking sites are the news of what happened to any person or company. But what about the natural human desire to have an idea of what is happening around and in any other places of interest in the world? Simple and convenient tool that provides such an opportunity, there is virtually no existing popular social sphere. Today we tell you about a free iOS application called ZumlaThat corrects this deficiency.
The essence and meaning Zumla - giving a person the opportunity to subscribe to any area of the map of the world, whether it is a continent, a country, a separate region, city or native rayonchik. We are asking ourselves the boundaries of the territory, about the events in which we want to know.
Basis interface Zumla - map, which shows the events, photo sites and events, as well as the profiles of other users of the service. The head then comes the idea of Foursquare and its analogs, however, in the case of Zumla geolocation and "study" the data are complemented by the social component. There's a chat, comments, huskies, Fortress and other useful things. In general, live chat, as it is.
What is the benefit of service in practice? For example, we have a looming free day or night, and in my head there are questions in the style of "what" and "where to go". Here comes to the aid Zumla: the application displays all relevant events in a user specified zone (concerts, exhibitions, parties and so on). It turns out a visual guide to city life. Go to one event - it is boring, and then getting into the act social functions. Invite friends to the selected event and go on vacation together.
It is noteworthy that the users are not simply "float" in the displayed events - through the app You can create your own event, which recognize those who need (privacy settings here in full order).
Events - it is certainly interesting, but a secondary effect on the activity of users are photo galleries with photographs of places where they have been. World map in Zumla constantly updated with new collections of photos that can be made by visiting quite a clear picture of any part of the Earth. This informative.
Speaking of corners. It is clear that as a "zone of interest" users choose not only their homes, but also a very remote place. Taking into account the social functions there is quite a sensible desire to communicate with people who live there and enjoy Zumla. To this end, the application has a built-in translator, which promotes free communication between users from around the world.
About interface design can not say anything bad. He is intuitive, with a focus on content, and use it very easily. No question "what kind of button" and "Where am I".
It is worth noting that the idea of using a given territory as the main selection criteria and content of communication - it is really interesting. In other social sphere, we have seen many ways to implement links in place, but they are either curves or uncomfortable. In view of an actively growing user base and the availability of user-friendly social functions Zumla seen excellent geoservice to explore the world around them.
