Flook the Location Browser
Discover and share local secrets with flook, the location browser.
Discover the coolest local secrets – flook's innovative user interface lets you swipe through a stream of nearby cards created by other users and an army of helpful robots. With flook you can browse the world as easily as you browse your photo library. Just flip a card to comment on it or find it on a map.
Share your favourite places – flook cards are quick to make. Just take a photo, add some text if you like, then upload. Our geo-bot automatically geotags your card, so that people nearby can find it. If you like, our tame tweet-droid will automatically send your discoveries to Twitter.
Compete with other people – getting a great score shows your skill and local knowledge. Our all-seeing score-bot only awards points when people collect your cards or follow you, so he rewards your creativity not your button mashing!
Flook works anywhere in the world but our busy little robots know most about the great cities of San Francisco, London and Henley-on-Thames.
What's new
We’ve heard that you have photos of lots of great places, but that you can’t flook them because you’re not actually at those places right now. Well, now you can move your cards easily to their correct location – just save a card for later, and then flip it and pinch and zoom the map to quickly move the card to its correct location - whether that's in the next town or the other side of the world!
When you're browsing in flook, you'll be able to see which cards were made remotely, and which were made when someone was actually there. If I really was there, the text under my card will say "By Jane, who was here just now." But if I wasn't, it will say "By Jane, just now."
You can report a card for being "Out of date or not about a place." When you do this, the card will immediately be hidden from anyone except the person who made the card (and anyone who follows him or her). (Don't worry - we have ways of checking all moderated cards, so someone can't hide your cards maliciously.) We hope that you'll use this to improve the card stream for all of us - we want to see interesting local secrets that we can go and visit, not people's coffee mugs or keyboards!
Our other changes are more minor or just bug fixes, but we hope you'll like them. For example, the card creator should give you a better idea of the accuracy it's got, helping you to decide if the time is right to upload yet, or whether you should wait a little. And we've also sped things up a little for a smoother card swiping experience.
