SPECIAL NOTE: Piper uses iBeacon technology to discover people, places, and things nearby. You'll get the best experience if you use Piper with friends - so please help spread the word.

Piper is the first social network for everything that's going on around you ... right now. You're visible on Piper as soon as you download the app. You'll see the people and special places nearby, and they'll see you. You can find friends, start chatting, and cash in on special offers. Be as public or private as you like. Make new connections or keep in touch with old friends. Piper is the perfect companion wherever you are - a night out, a concert, a meeting. When you have Piper, you're in the middle of it all.

Piper connects instantly with other phones using the app. But it also sees iBeacon and Gimbal - small bluetooth beacons that send out hyper-local messages. Now, you can keep track of everyone - friends, businesses, devices - the entire internet of things on one screen. Get special offers when you walk into your favorite shop, see up-to-the minute stats when you're at the game, and connect with home and personal devices that know your preferences.

So be expressive. Add messages, photos, video, and other content to tell everyone nearby or in the room what you're into. Or, be subtle and quietly see what's going on around you. Make updates, change your mood, and be bold. It's easy with Piper.
