Many of us may use Google map where we can see our current location and our nearby institutions, restaurants etc. How would it feel if there were an application where we could see our nearby people, our friends and relatives on a map? Imagine, being able to see people walking exactly the way we see people walk on streets. Sounds interesting, right? "LandKnock" is one such application where users can see their friends, relatives and nearby people on a map, besides for being able to see his/her own location.
When it comes to the security aspect, the application provides its users with the highest security. If users want, they can make friends here, can choose who will be able to see their location and who cannot. If needed, a user can also block someone for their lifetime. As a result, for those users who are worried about their security there's good news: it is completely impossible for a user to be visible to other people without his/her own consent.
Users of the app can set or log in their "Activity" using the app. Assume you are eating a pizza at Pizza Hut and you want to share this moment with your friends. If you update your activity in LandKnock, then your friends will know where you are and what you are doing and of course, there will be an option to share it via Facebook and other social media.
However, the fun doesn't stop here. Future updates of LandKnock promise more interesting features. For instance, you will be able to see where your nearby ice cream seller is. Even If you order any product from any website you will see where your delivery man carrying your product is located, making life so much easier.
One may ask, if you can see and track so many things then "what about vehicles? Can we see it too?" LandKnock has plans to expand the app to include this feature, with plans to have a "Taxi Cab" icon as well. Once launched, when you open the application, you can see moving taxi cabs near you and you can hire it too, all with the click of a button. You don't even need to say where you want to go because you already gave the taxi driver this information via LandKnock and the taxi driver will automatically know your location using his/her smartphone.
This is how our real world will appear virtually in LandKnock. Very soon it will be available in both Android and IOS platform and you can download it free of cost.
LandKnock is a location based social media application company. It lets its users connect with other people around them or anywhere on the map. The company was selected among Top 25 in Connecting Startups Bangladesh in Idea Stage organised by BASIS and ICT Division on 27 July, 2016.
If you are excited about the app and want to use this application earlier than others, you have to pre-order it from its official website.
