At gaming and geek conventions such as Anime Expo, SDCC, and PAX youre surrounded by tons of cool interesting people who share your passions. But how do you go about meeting them? How do you make new friends?
Shout Around is THE app that helps brings the convention community together and build genuine friendships. Shout Around provides a simple way to connect nearby friends and followers with geolocation. You can send private messages, create public “Shouts” to tell everyone who’s following you what’s going on, arrange cosplay photoshoots with cosplayers, check-in at VIP locations to unlock badges, add photos and customize your profile with Skins, and add new friends using QR code without giving out your personal info.
We love going to conventions and making new friends, lets make it even more exciting!
