Got You is a geolocation service that will help you find interesting people, cool places and fun activities that may be just a couple of meters from your home.
Social networks have long and firmly entered our lives. But many of us are already tired of VKontakte, Facebook, etc. Most often, communication in these social networks remains virtual - you can correspond with a person for years, but never meet with him in real life, even if he lives through two stops from you.
The Got You geolocation service can help to avoid such purely virtual correspondence - you see where your interlocutor is during a conversation, which establishments he visits most often, you even know about the events that he is going to organize on his own.
In addition, the service will always help you find interesting places and events in your city, gather a fun company for a hike, party, concert and more. But first things first.
registration
Everything is standard here, enter your e-mail, come up with a password and nickname.
Next, confirm your account. This completes the registration process. If you do not want to waste time on registration, then there is an opportunity to log in using your VKontakte, Facebook or Odnoklassniki account.
Do not forget to link your profile to your mobile number - this way you can get the Real status, which will increase the trust in you from the users of the service.
Filling out your profile
The most important thing is your profile photo and business card. Then you can write a little about yourself, your interests and hobbies.
And, of course, what is a profile without photos? Add at least a couple to the album.
Domestic Currency in Got You
The service has its own internal currency - coins. With the help of them, you will receive additional benefits: you can give gifts to other users and send cool stickers, beautifully design your profile, invisibly visit other users, increase your popularity and more.
How to get coins:
- Invite friends to Got You;
- Complete the quest (you need to complete various tasks: add photos, rate the profiles of other users, etc.);
- Coins can be bought.
In addition, the service always encourages active users, so be proactive and get a reward.
Acquaintance
We have filled out our profile, now is the time to start looking for interesting interlocutors. In order to do this, we go to the "people search".
There are two types of search - basic and advanced.
In the basic search, you specify the gender, age and region of residence of the desired interlocutor. Advanced search is the same questionnaire that you filled out earlier, only now you are filling it out not for yourself, but for the person you want to find.
And if you want not to search, but to be found, then you can use the offer "Let's us".
You offer the users of the service to do something together (you can choose from ready-made proposals, or you can come up with something of your own). Other people will be able to respond to your call within an hour. Several people may respond, but you have to choose only one - after that all other applications will be automatically rejected, and your offer will disappear.
In addition, you can always respond to the offer of another person.
Another way to meet new people is to play the game "Sympathy", in which you can rate other users and get mutual sympathy.
We go to “sympathy”, press “play”, actively evaluate other users, wait for mutual sympathy.
This video clearly illustrates the game:
Places map
It doesn't matter what you want to find: a veterinary clinic, a nightclub, a driving school, a grocery store, a beauty salon, a pharmacy, a hotel, atelier, a pizzeria, a racetrack, a museum, a cinema, or whatever. Using the map of establishments, which is available to you in the "search for establishments" tab, you can find everything you need at the moment.
You can check in at the place where you are now (there is a restriction - you cannot check in at the same place more than once an hour).
This map will greatly help you out not only in an unfamiliar city, but also help you learn about cool places that may be a couple of kilometers from your home.
Search for events
You can search not only for establishments, but also for specific events that can be filtered by type, date and region.
Interesting events can take place right next to you, which means now is the time to go in search of them.
Creating your own event
It is not necessary to look for events organized by other people, you can become the initiator of any event yourself. To do this, go to the "event search", click on the plus in the upper right corner and start creating your own event.
Next, we choose the type of event, and if you are not satisfied with the proposed options, then there is always the opportunity to put forward your idea. For example, we have chosen the type of event "entertainment" and we want to throw a party.
After that, we write a short description of the event, which should be laconic, simple, but at the same time such that other people would like to participate in our event.
Then we indicate on the map the place where our event will take place, as well as the start and end date of the event.
And hurray, we have our own event, for which now we need to gather as many interesting people as possible!
How to draw attention to your event
Just think, there may be hundreds of people in your city who could be a great company for you at a party, help you implement an idea, or, for example, go on an exciting journey with you. But there is one catch: they just don't know that your event even exists. In order to fix this, there is a "broadcast" function in Got You.
Broadcasting is a quick and easy way to tell people about your event, find like-minded people and new friends, and, of course, become more popular.
Parties, flash mobs, subbotniks, quests … You can tell others about any of your undertakings.
In order to broadcast about your event, you need to go to it and click on the megaphone icon.
After that, we describe to whom we want to inform about our event - the gender and age of the person, do not forget to indicate the broadcast radius. There is an advanced filter with which you can broadcast only to those people who have the characteristics we need. Broadcasting is paid for using the local currency Got You - for 1 coin you can notify 50 users.
You can always monitor the broadcasting process, and also stop it at any time.
Remember to answer people's questions when they are interested in the event.
Communication
Meet, chat, meet, find interesting people, exchange gifts and cool stickers.
Check the news as often as possible so you don't miss anything.
Look through the profile of the person who interested you, who knows, maybe you will find an interesting topic of conversation.:)
However, you should never forget that the service displays profile guests.
Soon service users will be able to enjoy the new design.
Thanks to geolocation, you can see exactly where your interlocutor is - this almost completely excludes the possibility of correspondence with fake accounts.
Finding interesting people, cool events and places is much easier than you think. So why waste time? Take action!:)
