Locoround
Locoround is a mobile app that surfaces place‑pinned posts — events, promotions, news and neighborhood chatter — within a user‑set radius so residents and local businesses discover and share nearby happenings.
One of 77 tools in Social Media
Who it's for
- Local residents who want to see events, news and chatter pinned to their street or neighborhood within a short walking distance
- Small local business owners who want to publish promotions and deals to nearby customers
- Community organizers who need to share time‑sensitive neighborhood updates or requests tied to a specific place
How it fits your workflow
Users install the mobile app (iOS or Android), pick any place on the map and follow it. The app shows posts that are pinned to that place and within the user's chosen radius.

Key features
- Follow Places
- Subscribe to specific places (neighborhoods, streets, parks, businesses) to receive posts and notifications from that location rather than following individual users.
- Configurable Radius
- Control the geographic scope of what you see with a slider that adjusts radius from 100m to 5km (examples: 100m for your block, 1km for a neighborhood, 5km for a larger area).
- Pinned Location Posts
- Post content that is pinned to a real location — like a digital flyer on a community board — so everyone nearby sees it.
- Categorized Local Content
- Supports categories such as Events (concerts, markets), Promotions (deals, sales), Requests (lost & found, help), and News & Chatter (local updates, warnings).
- Explore Map Markers
- Tap map markers to view what locals are posting in that spot and see sample posts for each category.
- Boards / Flyers / Posters Engagement
- Three engagement mechanisms: follow places (boards), share posts (flyers), and chat (posters) to interact with the local community.
Limitations to know
- Geographic radius limited to 100m–5km (page specifies users control the radius from 100m to 5km)
Alternatives to consider
-
Social Places
Choose it if you need a multi‑location marketing platform with centralized listings, reputation, ads and a managed service for brands rather than a neighborhood social feed for residents.
-
Storefries
Choose it if you want a unified, data‑driven local marketing platform for multi‑location businesses with centralized search, reviews and social management rather than place‑pinned neighborhood posts.
