Ketchuppp
Not everyone understands socializing through social networks Or simply prefer contact human rather than spend time in front of a computer seeing what a friend or contact has done or not done. Under this premise, Ketchuppp was born, an application designed to facilitate meetings or meetings of friends in person , without any planning. All this based on technology, but to be able to enjoy a casual encounter without social networks involved.
Thus, Ketchuppp is presented as a social application focused on geolocation That is, it locates the position of its users through the sensor GPS of the terminal to find out if there are friends nearby to meet. A kind of social network in the Foursquare style but reduced to the minimum expression, ideal for those users who deny these issues that dehumanize social interaction. All this through a simple application, with an attractive visual appearance but which, for the moment, can only be found in English Although its simplicity makes it suitable for everybody.
Its simplicity in operation and visuals also affects its handling. As such, Ketchuppp is intended to be a passive tool that works in the background.Just start it and create a own profile the first time. To do this, it is necessary to enter the telephone number, which allows you to avoid registration through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, in addition to checking which other users use this same application. After that, it remains to insert a profile image and a name to have access to all the contents of the application.
Once this is done, all that remains is to leave it running in the background. Thus, when one of the contacts of Ketchuppp approaches the area of influence of the user, the application will notify him In this way, and from the tool itself it is possible to make a call to stay, establish a local or place where to meet or select a minimum distance for the next notification. All this from the main screen of the application by selecting the desired contact, through the icons that appear next to the user.

The good thing about this application is that it is customizable and private Thus, it is possible to choose different types of status being able to show yourself visible so that other users are notified of your presence, see who is nearby without being detected or blocking any contact temporarily. In addition, Ketchuppp does not show the real current location of the user, it only reports the proximity, avoiding any fear of the user to show his position.
In short, a curious concept of social network focused precisely on avoiding this type of tools for the socialization, trying to facilitate meeting friends in person Of course, it is necessary that both contacts use the application to be able to be notified of its proximity.The good thing is that Ketchuppp is completely free, it can be downloaded for both Android as for iPhone through Google Playand App Store
