Your PinkMap! Team

While the summer is finally going to start and brings us sunshine and tropical termperatures the PinkMap Team is sitting inside the PinkMap Office and optimizes the new PinkMap Version.

Like everytime when a PinkMap Version leaves the Office there are a couple of changes to improve PinkMap and make it better, faster and more user friendly. And like always we removed some little problems, did bugfixing and some betterings.

Beside this there will be some new features at this version, too. So we over-worked the entire message-area and desgined it new. We also made it to reduce the apps starting time to the,amazing, half.

Finally the new PinkMap 2.5 Version arrived at the AppStore, and some of you might have seen the new killerfeature:  the new ” Location Check in Function”. You are now able to check in into locations with just one click via iPhone, and show everybody : Here i am!

If your profile is connected to Facebook, of course this message will appear on your Facebook Profile, too.

In the map you can see if you are able to check in into a location or not.If you can check in, the Lcoation is marked with a red number (Badge). There will be shown every Location in your area with a radius of  1,242 Miles, and in every location which is closer than 100 meters you will be able to check in directly

If there is another PinkMap User which checked in into your Location, you will get a push notification, so you can turn arround and wave to him if you like to. If you click at a Location, you can see in the Feed who checked in in the past and with the “Info” Button you can see who is checked in at the moment….

You are able to download the new PinkMap 2.5 Version here, and please do not forget to rate us. Thank you for supporting Gay Rights!

If something cool or funny happened to you with the new Location Check in Function, please feel free to write us. We will publish the best Storys and reward them with a small gift.

PinkMap is getting motley

PinkMap is getting motley in the web and the new iPhone version.

After some User wrote us and gave us good suggestions, we finally had the time to develop PinkMap in the multicultural department. From now on we have a new Avatar which you can choose for your profile picture and which makes PinkMap more multicultural.

At the moment the new Avatar is only available at the PinkMap Webversion, but it also will be available at the new iPhone Version very soon. We hope our dark skinned PinkMapers like it and hope you go on supporting us with your suggestions.

If you have own ideas to improve PinkMap and make it better, feel free to contact us here.
