Driftr App - Messaging meets Geo ( not another yik yak )

[Nomangee]

Hi all,

we are planning a new app which targets audience are travelers, geocachers and people with a tention to explore.

The app is message based, each message contains a text, a geolocation and the time the message was send. it can also contain an image.

This is how the app works:

1. Everyone can “send” a message. When the message is send, the geolocation of the message will be saved. The content also has a broadcast radius which can be set before sending it. Everyone within this radius can read the actual message.
   
   
2. Everyone is a potential “receiver” he can set the radius in which he likes to receive messages. If he is not within the broadcast radius, but the message is within his receiving radius, he will see that there is a message, but he can't read the content unless he gets in range.

Antoher feature is also private messaging, where you can send a DM to friends and they receive the location where they can see the content.

Here are some potential questions:
1. What do you think about this concept?
2. Is the concept understandable?
3. Would it be too complex for the average joe?
4. Do you see yourself using the App?
5. What would be the target audience for such an App in your opinion?
6. Would you have some more features you would like to see?


This is the mockup from the main screen for the beta:
