Range is the worlds first messaging service smart enough to only contact your friends close by.

Ever come home after a night out, only to realize you just missed a group of friends right around the corner? Or had an unexpected stop in a new city and weren’t sure which friends lived there?

Range Messenger gives you a whole new way to communicate and coordinate with your friends by allowing you to send messages to your friends within a specific distance to you.

Here’s how it works: Just create a message, select how far you want your message to go, and then blast it out to whichever group of friends you want it to go to. Only the friends within that Range will receive it, everyone else will be none the wiser.

Range is great for coordinating everything from after-work drinks with friends within a couple of blocks to reconnecting with an old high school friend who just happened to be in town for the night.

Never again miss the chance to meet up with the friends you didn’t know were right around the corner!

Range Features Include:
• Custom Radius - Send blast messages or photos to your friends within a radius you define, anywhere from 25 yards to 10 miles.
• Chat - Chat with friends that receive your blast and coordinate plans directly
• Groups - Manage friend groups to control who receives your blast (e.g., Close Friends, Family, etc.).
• Privacy - Never worry about your friends knowing where you are when you don’t want to be found. Only respond to the messages that you want to, and your friends won’t even know that you received the others.
• Friends List - Easily add friends from your phone contact list and get started on Range right away!

*Please note that Range Messenger relies on GPS technology in establishing location. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
