Google Launches Meetup App called Who’s Down

Google’s latest standalone app is something unexpected: An experience organizer for the offline world. Who’s Down, released this weekend, presentations customers which of their pals are available for in-individual activities.

consistent with business blog 9to5Google, the app’s performance emphasizes making immediate plans, and probably the most preloaded plans provide a hint to the meant demographic for this explicit venture: “find out about,” “snatch tacos,” “Go for a hike.” teenagers and twentysomethings, it seems, are the goal market.

The app, which is available in both Android and iOS iterations, faces one big challenge: different avid gamers have tried to make apps with just about the same purpose and performance in the past, with little success at scaling to a lot of users. An app called Shortnotice that works very similarly to Who’s Down was once released closing yr; there are a few small apps that target the gap as well.
