The popular Whrrl app is now available for Android OS users, additionally, there’s also a custom Whrrl widget for your Android phone. The features of Whrrl for Android include:
. Check In, Share Experiences, Tag Friends to Check-In: Users check in to the places they go with total control over privacy level, and the ability to share updates on Facebook and Twitter. They can add photos and notes to their check-ins to share their experiences, and also tag others into their check in. Photos and notes from people checked in together are pooled for easy sharing.
. Societies: Every place has its own Society, and there are now over 3,000 Societies nationwide that users join by checking in. Whether users are a Live Music fan, mountain biker or Mexican food fanatic, there’s a Society for everyone. Users can create their own Societies, too.
. Recommendations: Users can create recommendations to capture and share their ideas for specific things to do at places. They can target recs to any Societies. Photos can be added to any recommendation, too.
. Influence Points — Every time a user checks in, they earn points. When they create recommendations, they get more points. People can “want to,” “did it” and “re-recommend” each other’s recommendations, and get even more points. As users earn points, they level up in Societies and unlock special powers within Whrrl.
. Society Rewards: Hundreds of merchants (and counting!) have created prizes exclusive to Whrrl users. Users get a chance to win free gas at Murphy USA’s around the country, free drinks, shows or rooms in Las Vegas, and other unique prizes at nearby merchants.
. Custom Whrrl Widget: We’ve created a custom Whrrl widget for Android that will turn it into a compass for ideas people want to do. Based on where they are, Whrrl will show users the closest ideas saved to their want-to list. From there, they can click the idea and map it.
