Being able to meet new people is nowhere near as challenging as it used to be, thanks to all the different apps and services that are available to us. However, sometimes you want to meet someone who is very close to you, perhaps only a few tens of feet away.
Coucou! is a great new way to discuss with and meet people nearby. It uses hyper local discovery (no need for an Internet connection), so you can connect with someone you may have already made eye contact with.

► CONCEPT
Like most social networking apps, Coucou! requires you to post a selfie so you’re recognizable. Your profile is only visible to active Coucou! users within approximately 300 feet (obstacles such as walls can reduce this range).
This means you have a pretty fair chance of recognizing another Coucou! user if you’re in the same location or nearby. Even if you’re in a large gathering, you can reach out to every Coucou! user in your area by broadcasting a public message or sending a private message directly to someone.
Coucou! tries to ensure that users do not send inappropriate messages, to prevent misuse of the app. For example, public messages can be rated by everyone and if a user’s message isn’t appropriate, the other users can temporarily suspend the concerned user messaging privileges.

► FEATURES
Even though Coucou! is still gaining traction as a social networking app, there’s a fair chance you may encounter another user while you’re out and about. If this happens, don’t worry, the app will notify you even if it isn’t running.
There’s also a bit of a game aspect to Coucou!, as well, in that users can try to guess which person sent a public message. Between this and being able to rate messages using likes and dislikes, users gradually earn a score based on how many people they’ve interacted with.
If you have a memorable private conversation with another Coucou! user, you can save it to your device. However, the app will notify the other user and ask for their permission to let you save the conversation, protecting this way the user’s privacy.

► LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST
Download Coucou!, tell your friends about it and encourage them to download the app. Together, let’s make Coucou! the biggest and the best proximity social network.
