Evzdrop (which is pronounced eavesdrop) is a new type of app that lets you tap into what people are ... Read more

With Facearound you don't get that problem because it is directly tied to Facebook and draws on a lot of their members' information while encouraging its own members to get involved too. What this iOS app does it to geolocate all the ... Read more
