Think about a message in a bottle, in a digital way: that’s basically FlyWord, a Universal App Template where you can send messages to specific locations in the world and have people find them. Once a user finds a message, he can choose to throw it away forever, keep it and contact the message sender via the built-in chat.
If you find a message, it becomes automatically yours and will not be visible to other people – it’s like when you find a message in a bottle, it’s yours forever.
This is an innovative and fun application for who is looking for new penpal friends, establish relationships around the world or simply have fun.
FlyWord includes a Report inappropriate content feature, block/unblock users in Chats, embedded iOS MapView and Terms of User HTML file, along with an Account screen where you can see the messages you’ve sent, the ones you read and your active chats.
Since its backend is by Parse you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO PHP files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.
FlyWord is a native XCode project, Swift language, Storyboard, Universal, super easy to customize, backend with Parse SDK hosted on http://back4app.com
