I like the app idea, but not a huge fan of your methods of attracting users. Because this is a highly localized app, I think the key takeaway is that you need to really push a single (or multiple) locations at once, rather than "everywhere" at once. The app will do far better with 1000 users in one location than 1 user in each of 1000 locations. Also, could you onboard users with no registration required to get them using it, then ask them to register if they want to use across multiple devices / retrieve their login?

Absolutely. This app is going to completely rely on network effects. Just like Facebook, once there are a few area "spheres" with a lot of active and concurrent users, this can start to take off. I predict this may end up being the next big Snapchat-like app within a year. I may be totally wrong, and/or I may just be biased because I've always wanted an app like this (in part because I always enjoyed the local small-region chatting in MMO games, and this is the same thing applied to real life), but I think this has a ton of potential. Right now it needs to be aggressively marketed and spread around.
