People don’t engage with their local areas as much as they used to. In our cities and towns, there are hundreds of hidden landmarks, buildings and monuments that enrich the cultural canvas of our communities.
Roam solves this problem by creating an app that promotes discovery of your local community off the beaten path. Roam’s target audience is families and young people, embedding game-like features to get everyone out and about learning new things.
Roam is a community-driven app where users create and share landmarks to educate others in the area. Roam lets users post pictures and share stories to entice others to discover the hidden gems of their community.
