Ping is a location-based app designed to help you stay connected with friends and your campus community in real-time. Unlike other social media platforms, Ping offers a refreshing, non-scrollable experience that focuses on immediate, live updates. It's a social utility app that puts statuses on the map and gives you a live snapshot of what's happening around you.
Map Statuses
Ping brings you a dynamic map that shows the statuses of both your friends and non-friends nearby. Whether it's an impromptu yoga session on the quad, a lively debate about the latest pizza toppings, or someone just chilling with their plant collection, everything is all mapped out in real-time. You get an instant snapshot of what’s going on around you, with new statuses constantly updating. It’s a fun and easy way to see what’s happening in your area life right now.
Location Sharing
Privacy is key, and Ping puts you in control. You get to decide who can see your location, whether it’s just your closest friends or anyone you choose. You can opt to share your exact location or a “close-ish” option within a 0.5-mile radius. It's all about giving you control while still letting you connect with those around you.
Campus Feed
Ping’s Campus Feed gives you a real-time view of what's happening across your entire campus. It's not just your friends - everyone's statuses are visible, so you can see what’s trending, who's up for something, or discover spontaneous events and hangouts. This keeps you in the loop and ensures you never miss out on what’s happening around you.
Pinging
Remember the old Blackberry pings? Ping has brought it back, but better! With a quick, fun, and easy way to send pings, you can now effortlessly connect with friends to meet up. It’s the perfect throwback to make meetups quick and simple, without the hassle of planning or coordinating in long group chats.
