“We are bringing the pieces of the browser experience that we have seen our users embrace into something that’s quick and portable — no matter where they are,” explained About.me’s Ryan Freitas to The New York Times.
There’s a location aspect of the new iPhone app that allows About.me users to see who is nearby. Unlike apps like Girls Around Me, you will have to opt into sharing your location with other About.me iPhone app users.
