WhosHere, which was apparently the very first Social Networking app for the iPhone to let you meet and interact based on proximity, has passed one million users. The WhosHere’s user community now extends to more than 150 countries, with users sending millions of free text messages and images per day.
WhosHere managed to achieve many firsts for a social networking application on Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch platforms, including the ability to meet new people nearby regardless of network connection type. WhosHere was the first social network allowing free anonymous VOIP calls, and WhosHere was the first social networking application to enable virtual travel.
In it’s most recent version, WhosHere 2.2 added integration with Facebook, and Twitter and the debut of virtual travel. The virtual travel feature uses Apple’s In-App Purchase functionality allowing WhosHere users to locate their profile any where in the world unlocking the ability to interact with even more users.
“We continue to have a singular focus; bringing unique features to the social networking landscape. We have many industry firsts and there are more to come. The immense popularity of WhosHere proves that”, said Stephen Smith co-founder of myRete – the makers of WhosHere.
WhosHere runs on Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch and is available for free download on Apple’s iTunes App Store (link below).
