A "rubbish night out" has led a medicine student to create a unique app to track friends at the area's 'hottest' bars.
The app, which has over 3,000 users so far, allows users to see which friends are in which bars - and to track how many people are currently in a venue."We'd left the flat, as always, asking, "who's out tonight, where's everybody at?""We were a bit annoyed, so left and went to another bar. We paid more money to get into that bar, and nobody was there.
Funding was used to hire a software developer, who worked with Thomas for several months before the app was officially launched. Thomas believes the app provides a fun way to meet up with friends and find the city's "hottest" bars through the map feature - and maintains that safety was a top priority when designing the map.
"We've signed up about 10 partners - we call them 'hot venues' - and they are venues that advertise on our app, and they've loved it as well.
