I tried using "Popcorn Messaging" application which can chat anonymously with people within 1.6 km free of charge

Sometimes it is easier for strangers to talk than a good friend, but if people installing the application are within 1 mile (about 1.6 km), they can chat anonymously with anyone Of "Popcorn Messaging"is. What kind of application is it? So I actually tried the application.

Popcorn Messaging on the App Store on iTunes
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/popcorn-messaging/id718416705

First install the application.


When you start the installed application ... ....


As the sign up screen appears, enter the user name and password and click "Sign Up".


"Popcorn" uses the current location information. Are you sure? "Tap" OK "as you are asked.


The screen that appears shows "No posts in this area yet". If a person within 1.6 km radius posts a message, a message appears on this screen.


So, actually try using two iPhones with the app.


Install the application on the second iPhone, register name and password.


Hit "Hello!" In the text field and tap "SEND" ......


The name and content of the person who sent the message on both screens was displayed.


I will write reply contents and send it by "SEND".


There is almost no time lag in the display, so it is possible to proceed quickly.


"Is it really possible to send messages within a radius of 1.6 km?" First of all, I keep one iPhone in GIGAZINE editorial department.


Take the other iPhone and go out ......


I will send a message from about 1.6 km away.


I seemed to have sent a message successfully, and a reply came back.


LINEInstead of interactive like the timeline, the conversations are displayed in a row at a time.


The menu is a simple specification of "Home" where messages are displayed and "Tell Friends", "About Popcorn", "Log out" which teach the existence of applications on e-mail and Twitter.


When I tried launching the application after a while, since there was a message before I knew it, there seems to be someone who is currently using the application properly.


It seems interesting to start with a street corner because there is fun to talk with a person who does not know at all, but there is a possibility that you can enjoy a conversation with a person who is perfect for a hobby even if you start in a place where there is a common purpose like an event There are many ways to enjoy it.
