Abstract

With nowadays social networks where people leave most of their aspect for everyone with access to see it, where people use mobile devices in order to find people for a coffee, a night out and others (apps such as Tinder, Facebook).

Finding Friends target people who also like to meet people outside the safe zone, where through the check-in through the application, users will be able to find others that are also nearby alone or with friends.

The application at this point is not aimed to become a chat, as such already exists, but for travellers who want to meet people and make friends outside the social networks, even if they are having a coffee, going for a walk around the city, going to a night club.

Finding Friends will allow user to find users that are in a 1.5 km radius of the users check-in and will enable users to visualize other users nearby and their usernames where when interact they will be able to send a picture from their library.
