A socialising app designed by Kiwis is on its way to the United States as part of an international competition recognising up and coming developers.
The Estimeet app was designed by a team of computer science students at the University of Auckland.
The app makes meeting with friends easier by letting you know how far away they are, without disclosing their precise location.
This unique aspect utilises location data without compromising privacy.
"We did a survey and found that people don't use location data because of issues of privacy," says one of its creators, Hayden Do.
