Congrats! I looove this app. The UX is great. Also, the experiment you are running with the « Zenly Gift » ban seems very interesting to me. I would love to see the impact it is going to have in your community. :)
Hey @pallav_agarwal
Life360 was a pioneer in this space and did a lot to evangelize location sharing.
When they launched, the privacy questions were too strong to think about anything else than safety & families.
5 years later things have changed, and our signups are mostly teens and people sharing locations with their friends.
From what I remember the average user has 1,2 friends in Life360.
In Zenly it’s 4,5 and growing as our users go further in their lifecycle.
So we are building the feature scope that goes with that… Interested by any cool recommandation you could have !
Hey @jcampbell_05 big fan of what you guys are doing! Lawrence from DN showed us a beta a few months back, love your take on the subject.
Definitely realtime anytime location that's precise & low-power.
Having 1 ingredient is easy, having 2 is hard, aiming for the 3 is close to impossible.
Especially if you are trying to do it cross-os...
We were lucky enough to be joined by incredible engineers, some of whom had spent years coding OSs @ Google & Apple. It's having them with us which changed everything.

Besides maybe the UX what is the difference between Zenly and Life360 or Find My Friends?
Awesome idea and great implementation. UX really kicks ass. Just a piece of advice: it would be great to present the features of the app on tha landing page, because I had to go to Google Play to find our more about the product.
Thanks @aramiggs.
@alexisbonillo my cofounder is working day & night on the subject.
We are hoping to push a cool web update in the next few days.
What's the argument / feature that convinced you the most?

OK first of all the heart on your website for PH users, is not clicking :P ...... and secondly, what are you doin about chicken-egg?.....none of my friends are there on it and I am not willing to send them messages about it as they are tired of my messages....... how old is this app btw?
@iamnineblack Thanks for the report, @EtaixJ is on it, will be fixed in a second.
The beauty of Zenly, which explains our growth, is that you only need 1 active friend to find value. In certain territories, South Korea notably, Zenly is mostly used by couples with very limited networks in the app.
If you are able to get to 3 friends there is 86% chance that you'll still be with us after 12 weeks...
Now any help in bringing new users in will be appreciated, feel free to share it with your friends!
What you can download from the AppStore or Google Play is brand new, we were in stealth testing out different UIs and feature sets over the last year.
I've been using Zenly for a while, and love it. It's been trending among the "New Apps We Love" in the AppStore for the last couple of days in the UK btw.
Thanks @tomasruta ! So awesome to hear that you love it. Any thing in mind that we should add / improve?
Apple has been very nice with us over the last few days, we are featured in 110 countries!
