Check, which is in line with the Pokémon GO phenomenon is based on real world users and venues to allow users to grab new contacts. Available for free on iOS and Android, Check offers users the possibility to browse their city’s venues and local hot spots to enrich their contact list.
The user experience focuses on a neo-phenomenon of “gamification” (a game-playing experience), similar to a treasure hunt that is catalysed by unlocking – automatically - businesses that you visit. After visiting and unlocking a location, users can catch all contacts that have been in this venue and engage with each other in real time and develop relationships that have the potential of blossoming into something more. Check operates through IBeacon technology, which automatically identify a user when it comes to a place.
"The recent success of Pokémon GO shows that users are willing to look outside of their phone to enjoy real experiences through their mobile . This is exactly our philosophy with Check : Using technology to gather users in the real world”, said Kevin Crouvizier, co-founder of Check App . “For our valued businesses, Check has already made a name for itself as a leader in the European market with the help of an iBeacon-equipped network that is estimated to have 5,000 outlets by the end of the year.”
The iBeacon Check network deployment has begun with the long-awaited introduction of the application targeting the greater Los Angeles area as a test market in North America. Regional bars, restaurants, night clubs, concert venues, gyms, and other retail chain outlets are jumping on the bandwagon and setting up beacons at their locations to provide their customer base with a one-of-a kind digital social experience.
