About this app

Looxie is your window to the world!

Looxie is a location-based mobile discovery platform. It is a simple way to share photos with people around you.

HOW IT WORKS
Looxie is a simple way to request photos from other users at ANY location. When you send a Looxie Request, it notifies users in the area that you’re requesting the photos from. They can then open the app, snap a photo, and send it back to you!

• Want to see if your favorite bar is too crowded? Send a Looxie Request and someone will send you back a photo of the bar.

The way to send a Looxie request is to drop a pin on the map or just search for the place you're looking for. This location-based photo request platform is as simple as can be!

Ratings and reviews

UPDATE: I've seen the post and thanks for the quick reply. 1. When I use the search function, I can't actually click on a photo to be able to view it and zoom in. All it does when I click that it switches to the next photo and the same happens with Sent Looxies. 2. No full screen viewing available! 3. Settings is greyed out and I can't access it? 4. I can't view the likes of a certain image! 5. I am getting a ton of requests of user NewbieTown, is it a bot?

Interesting app but after 3 years it severely lacks what I would call basic required features. Can't see my Looxies full screen, can't see the comments on them or any likes. Search let's you see many pictures but you can't open them and they have the date overlay, I don't really understand the purpose of it then. You should be able to look for a POI to make a request instead of the map, requests counter doesn't increase. I get hundreds of new users requests. What are points for?

The idea is really great, although the app needs some polishing. For instance; the settings button is grayed out for me and comments on older Looxie's can't be viewed anymore. The new search function is really great tho! Keep up the great work for the 4 and 5th star ;) Update: The last update made the app a 1000 times better so I think a 4th star is in place. Settings button is still grayed out, whats up with that 🤔

What's new
