Great job on releasing the project!

Had a similar iOS app years ago that would make chat groups with everyone in a 1km radius [1]. In the end our largest hurdle was getting enough users together per location.

Thanks. I made something similar a while ago myself called Shoutium, basically the same thing. More simpler this time around tho. Users are always difficult to get, this too will probably also fizzle out.

All the best of luck with Shoutium! I still love the concept of a local messaging app and it was great fun in active areas. But like you said getting the critical mass required is always tough.
