LanguageBuddyApp - The fastest way to find a conversational language buddy near you
LanguageBuddy is an app that is designed to use the GPS on smartphones to help users find a LanguageBuddy close to them.
The app will notify the user when there is someone who is a language match with them within a specified distance and then will allow them to decide if they want to have a conversation with that person or not. Users can leave the app on ¨find¨ mode for a pre-determined set of time, or they can just log in to the app to see if anyone is available immediately. Once logged in they choose the language they want to find a conversational LanguageBuddy for and then the app does the rest. Once a LanguageBuddy is found nearby they can chat within the app to the other person to arrange a meeting location and meeting time via and then share a photo and chat to describe what they are wearing in order to easily find each other.
Users can select a preference for age range and gender, but this will just be a guideline as it may not always be possible to find someone within this criteria. As this is not a dating application, the user will not be able to see a photo until the agreement on meeting has been made at which time the application will send the users photos to each other.
