The latest version of the popular iPhone app, TinyShout from WaitlQ LLC has just been launched in iTunes. The usefulness of this application makes it not only unique but something that every mobile user should have in their devices. TinyShout is actually a proximity based messenger service, which enables the user to send messages to all and any devices within a certain range of distance, irrespective of any existing network communication. So, you do not necessarily need to know the people before you can send messages to their devices; you can instantly message anyone within a certain distance fixed by you. The application has extreme usefulness in practical needs of day to day life apart from being able to help you to make new friends anywhere you go.
How it works
The application needs the user to create an account with TinyShout after downloading the app. The uniqueness of this application is that it sends time bound messages and enables the user to decide the distance within which all devices will be able to catch the message. As the user posts a message after determining the distance range and expiration time, the message is posted on a public board, which can be viewed by Public or Private Users within the specified range. Users who receive the message can directly reply back, privately or publicly. Once the expiration time of the message is over, it is automatically deleted from the system of the user and the receivers of the message.
Features
TinyShout has a very simple front end and includes easy tools to make communication at public places, even with the people you do not know from before, easy. The messages sent by the application are time bound, which can be determined by the user. So, in case there is not a reply, the message automatically gets destructed. The distance option makes it possible for the user to pick any distance covering, 10, 15, 20 or 25 miles. The facility to make any message private or public is the other feature which makes it highly effective for use in different applications. Another unique feature of the app is, it enables you to post messages as fixed or mobile. Posting as fixed will cover the specified distance from the location the message was sent; but in case of the Mobile option, the covered distance will move with the mobile from which the message was sent. Anonymous message posting facility and password based security are the other features of the app to mention.
