Overview

Peeples is a mobile, location based, social community (Android OS 1.6 requirement). It uses its userbase to locate people around you and shows them on your map. Those users appear as icons of various colors. Green meaning that the user is online now, orange that he was online more than an hour ago, red more than 3 hours and grey more than 6.

You can interact with those users by tapping them with your finger. You then have a list of options, such as:

  • add as friend
  • send message (push messaging)
  • send a picture
  • user details
  • block user

Peeples is also highly customizable since it enables you to change the way the application behaves. You can configure the following settings:

  • manually update your location or not
  • use gps if available or not
  • save your map pathing to DB for future review
  • enable notifications (receive notifications about messages when outside of the app)
  • update interval for notifications
  • metric or imperial units
  • time between map refreshes
  • ...

If you stumble into a crowd of users while browsing the map you can also make use of the search function, which enables you to filter the users by age, sex, radius around you and username if you know who you're looking for.

From there on it's up to you if you want to meet them or not.

The application is also fully customizable in what details you want to show to other users.

 

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to mail them to me.

I think the makings of a top shelf app that's pure Android to the core is there.

There are a number of social community apps that started life as web applications and have now gained mobile counterparts. Here's one that's starting life as a mobile application - specifically for Android.
