MapHook Announces New Features Including Groups, Videos and Links
DULLES, Va. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - MapHook,
the location-based journal app, announced today a line-up of new
features to their website and iPhone app, available on iTunes. MapHook
already provides users with an organized way to keep track of and find
interesting places and things via "hooks" (user generated digital
memories) tagged on an interactive map. The map integration also
includes the ability to view location-based Wikipedia articles, Groupon
deals and Yelp! reviews.
What's new:
Sharing location-based content and interests just got easier as users
now have the ability to manage groups (both public and private). Users
can also add YouTube videos and website links to hooks, in addition to
searching for hooks by date.
By combining several hooks together, users can create stories that can
be shared with family and friends. The share button provides the ability
to link hooks to several social media platforms, including Facebook,
Twitter and Google+.
"Our users are excited about the new features," said Paul Carter,
MapHook CEO. "Within hours of releasing the new version on iTunes, users
were setting up groups, adding videos and creating stories. We will
continue to enhance existing, as well as add new features. As social
networking continues to evolve, it's important for us to listen to our
users, keep our app fresh and offer something of value."
