'Yaknak' Enables Users to Discover Nearby Events While Traveling

— November 9, 2016 — World
The 'Yaknak' app makes it easier than ever to discover nearby events that are happening wherever you are to help you find a fun time. 'Yaknak' works by allowing users to tap on the kind of thing they want to do including eat, grab a drink, go dancing and much more. Once they have selected this, 'Yaknak' will provide them with a number of things that match this nearby that have been suggested by other users.

'Yaknak' uses a swipe-style operation when users are browsing through the collection of things to do: swipe left to pass or swipe right to be given the directions. 'Yaknak' is ideal for travelers who are looking for nearby events and hotspots to have fun, and is essentially a happy marriage of the best features of TripAdvisor and Tinder.
