Locate your social networking friends with Circle app

Circle is an app that allows you to find out the location of your friends & others who are members of your social network groups.

You can allow Circle to access your Facebook account to identify your location & then compare it with the location of your nearby friends & others on your network lists. You can alter the distance limit of the searches on Circle which enables you to identify friends who are close by or far away. Thus, Circle helps you avoid being alone as you can use it to find the location of nearby friends and then simply walk the distance to meet them.

Developed by Hawthrone Labs, USA, this smartphone app helps users identify their current location & match it with that of their social networking friends and contacts. Circle’s navigation is easy thanks to its futuristic design layout. The presentation of items is similar to the Windows 7 mobile platform because the background is light with large buttons which makes scrolling a smooth experience.

This free app, launched in Beta in 2012, presents an appealing concept & offers an easier method of locating friends compared to using Facebook’s default app. Though social networks like Facebook & Google + offer location-based identification and recommendation of members, this feature is not used widely. Circle steps in to resolve this issue.

How to use this app:

  • Simply connect Circle to your Google+ or Facebook account to first import data which then enables you to connect with existing friends & also find new contacts & potential friends based on their interests &  location.
  •   The status button can be appropriately set so that you get a message if a friend or contact is nearby. Clicking on another button produces a list of your existing friends, their current location as well as their online or offline status.
  • You can invite your friends to use this app, & also message them. The Message Center hosts the profile of your visitors as well as private messages.

To sum it up, you can use Circle to filter & meet people based on their location and interests.
