A New Take On an Old Technique
Semaphore is an old method of communication with flags. Symafour is a new take on the old technique.The Concept
Welcome to the social media revolution! What is Symafour? The Symafour App is a way to connect to other people in your area based on similar interests. Are you trying to make it to a music festival, but don’t know who anyone who loves music as much as you do? Are you tired of your so called “friends” that never want to go to the same movies you do? It’s your interests, it’s your meet ups, it’s your data.
The Product
Powered Labs developed this social mobile app for the iOS platform, including the design, artwork, digital advertising and social media marketing. Using Facebook as our main channel to showcase the app, we have nearly 10,000 fans on the page and have experienced a steady growth in downloads. Our agency also designed and created the Symafour website and logo.
Plant Your Flag
Throwing a frisbee at the park? Is your band playing tonight? Starting a group study session? Plant your flag to gather with friends, share your event or just let others know what you are up to. It’s as easy as shaking your phone. You can add a title to say what you are up to and pick who can see the flag. Share with everyone to let the whole world see, just your friends to keep your location private, or pick a just a few friends to meet up with a group.
