MIAMI, Sept. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Wekho, the app developed by entrepreneur Fedor Saldivia, launched its Android version this week. With more than 200,000 downloads since its introduction in 2013, the app has introduced a dynamic and radically different way of interacting with the world. Contrary to other social media concepts, Wekho is not solely focused on interactions between people, but is geared more towards the interactions of people with their environment.
Conceived as a “digital window,” Wekho allows users to find out what is happening in a particular place, via photos, videos, and comments left behind by others. Once there, users can chat and find out more about a given place, or post their own impressions. Founder Saldivia wanted to create a platform where people could vividly capture a place and leave it for others to find, in essence making Wekho a geo-location app with a keen social component.
“With this new version of Wekho for Android we project significant growth in the number of app downloads in the short term. More users from all over the world means more content being uploaded, making Wekho an even more valuable tool to discover the world.” said Saldivia.
“My intent with Wekho” he added, “was to create an application that each user can personalize and convert into their diary, their guide, their network hub or simply be the source of information about places that they like or are interested in. In other words, the user encounters and interacts with the world, not people. Some users use it in a completely social manner to promote the beauty of their country, as in the case of the Indians and Pakistanis; others to leave a testimony of their experience at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. There are people who do not upload photos or videos, but use Wekho to chat with strangers regarding the menu of the restaurant where they’ve coincided. The idea was to create an app as versatile and as unique as each individual. The beauty of Wekho is that its benefits can be enjoyed by those who are shy or wish to remain anonymous, or those who wish to socialize with others.”
In addition to its recreational uses, Wekho has the potential to act as an invaluable tool in the professional world, helping businesses and professionals from realtors to art critics, to leave their mark for others to see.
