Years ago, people knew our contacts / partners by going out on the street and bumping into them. But that was more than a decade ago. In the days of MSN Messenger or IRC chats it was already becoming common to meet people on the Internet and I would say that today it is more normal to meet people starting in the virtual world than in real life. There are many applications for meet people or find a partner, but none that offers as many possibilities as Shakn, a proposal that goes a little further.
Although the name with which this application appears in the App Store is «Shakn - Meet new people«, Its main (but not the only) reason for being is to be able to find single men and women in your city to have the type of relationship you are looking for. . But, unlike other similar applications and services, registering in Shakn will not make us stay glued to our device for a long time answering questions, but it will be enough to explain who we are, what we are looking for and what we like, the latter choosing between the hashtags that the application will offer us and that will then allow you to search for find people in your city with specific tastes and interests.
Shakn will help you to contact people like you
But this application does not stop at the possibility of viewing profiles as if they were card stickers. It also has what they have called "Moments", content that we can share on our profile to make ourselves known for our tastes, interests, etc. For example, we can upload our favorite songs, our photos, the books that we have read and liked, our favorite places and even audios so that they know our voice while we say hello. Thus, when someone visits our profile, they will be able to learn more about us before starting a conversation, and vice versa. Thanks to the Moments we will be able to get an idea of whether or not we fit in with that user that we liked first.
Users who enter our profile can see our Moments and we see others'. So it is very easy to contact like-minded people who have similar tastes and interests to ours. In addition, we avoid wasting time looking for and viewing photos of users that we do not have any information about before talking to them.
On the other hand, Shakn knows that privacy is very important, something that has been shown by cases such as the San Bernardino sniper or the current controversy of the terms of use of WhatsApp. This application will allow us control what information we share and decide who we want to see it and who does not. .
#MomentoPlan, a meeting point for singles
If that of looking at profiles and chatting is not enough for us, we can also make use of what they call Plan Moments, which are plans that we propose for other users to join as an appointment to meet us in person. In the same way, we can also sign up to the plans of others with the advantage of knowing if we have something in common by looking at the Moments of their profile.
It is clear that there are already many applications to flirt in the App Store and the different mobile application stores, but why not bet on one that offers us more information and possibilities?
