Three Apps to Find a Company and Place to Hang Out

There are many reasons why our plans for the evening may go down the drain: for example, everybody around is too busy, or we don't know where to go because it's Friday and all the bars/clubs are so full of people that there is hardly room to move an elbow. Anyway, do not regret prematurely, if you are quite willing to meet new friends and discover new places, these three applications will help you have a good time!

Highlight: Friends. New people. All around you.

This application will ease the process of catching up with your folks or meeting new people nearby. Highlight runs in the background and surfaces the information about everyone around who has the same app installed. You can access names, photos, mutual friends, and anything else they have chosen to share. Highlight will notify you when your friend is somewhere not far away and also tell you whether a someone interesting crosses your path. The app may be regarded as a dating service; however, the idea is to 'give you a sixth sense about the world around you, showing you hidden connections and making your day more fun.' If you still don't think that it is mighty good, have a look at the video below.

Localmind: Know what's happening. Now.

So, after learning how to find people around you, it is time to find a perfect place to start having fun. Here the Localmind app comes to the aid. Just find a place you're interested in on the map and, if there are fellow users nearby, you can ask them any question: how crowded the spot is, is it worth visiting, which band is recently playing etc. Everytime you can read previous discussions of the place in question and feel yourself a guru sharing your impressions about your favourite restaurant you are currently dining in. This way, earn karma points for useful answers and remember, that 'with great power comes great responsibility'.

Grouper: A night of drinks & dares.

If previous apps are still boring for you and you want to plunge into adventure and go really crazy, you definitely need the app named Grouper. The step by step process is: you apply for membership with Facebook with your two friends, the Grouper will match you with another company of three people and pick a bar at their discretion. Free drinks, truths & dares, heading off to the next spot... Do I need to continue describing or everything is already clear? The developers answer the first questions that come to your mind: it is not a date, you don't need to be single to have a night of adventure with your friends and some other friends. Based on the information from your Facebook profiles, you will go to venues, ranging from rooftop lounges and hotel bars to even speakeasies.
