Secluded 4+

Useful but limited.

It’s a fun app for urban explorers, stargazers, or people who like to walk around quiet areas in general. I would recommend fixing the check-in feature though; I’ve been pretty close to spots shown on the map but it won’t let me check in or rate because I have to be within “500 feet” of the specific marker. I suggest expanding the check-in range or letting users map out a whole park or area as a spot. Also, while the thumbs up and other features are nice, it would be useful for others to be able to leave comments on their experience there. This could help if the area is busy at certain times or to get an idea of what kt looks like etc. Other than that, great concept but I know it’s a work in progress.

Great App!! App Suggestions Included

Hi Ryan!! I saw your TikTok and downloaded this app!! This looks so cool and I already added a few spots around my local town! 👌👌 I also shared this app with a few of my friends and they also think this is really cool :)
I’m a 19 year old college student about to get my Associate’s in graphic design / app and multimedia design and I have a few suggestions on how to enrich Secluded! ❤️
•» The ability to pay for no advertisements (this could also bring you in some additional revenue 💰)
•» The ability to report certain locations / request to have them removed (some locations I’ve seen aren’t actual posts they are just people advertising their Snapchat)
•» Move the + Button on the map screen over to the left a bit so the compass is visible 🧭
•» Add the Secluded logo to the loading screen and make the app title bigger
•» Add an account management page that allows you to change your profile picture, your name, add a bio, etc
•» Add integrations that allow you to sign up with things other than Apple, such as Google or email
•» The ability to add pet/service animal amenities in case people want to bring pets or service animals to locations (basically a tag that has a dog or cat emoji on it that can be added to locations next to the police or amenities symbols)

I hope all of this helped!! Great job on creating this app! And I look forward to continuing using this :)

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for all of the suggestions! I really appreciate it. I've added a "Dog friendly" tag at the suggestion of a commented on TikTok (maybe it was you). You can also now flag spots as spam, unsafe, and inappropriate. I'm currently working on the android version (that will include google log in), but once that's done I'm gonna do a UI overhaul and implement your suggestions. Again, thank you so much. This review made my day.

Genius

This app is the best idea ever. I love it so much. It is still in its developmental stages so there is definitely room for improvement. Right now, I think it would be nice to get an update on the map where users can add their own locations. There are no labels on this map so it is difficult to find your hidden spot. Further, I love the satellite map feature! This is great for people like me who use landmarks to find their way around. I think another good thing to add would be to allow us to use photos from our camera roll. I have lots of good smoke spot pictures from the past that I could add to locations. Thank you for making this app! I love it so much for smoke spots and for finding hiking places , just to get away from the world for a while. Best wishes ✨💫
