Friend Builder
Description
The software provides a tool for users to interact and connect with other users using the same app. Descriptions and interests allow the current user of the phone to attract other users that are nearby with the same interests. A conversation can start as a result, starting the friend building process. Another way to attract users is to host events that nearby users can view and attend depending on the theme of the event. This allows for group friend building.
