Down solves a problem that I don't think any social network has solved yet: making it simple to connect with friends in the real world. One of our friends called Down a "true" social app. @andrewlinfoot put it really well - "We created Down because we want to make getting together with your friends as easy as checking Facebook. We find all of our best memories come from hanging out with our friends in real life, not sitting around scrolling through feeds on our phones. We think existing social apps are great, but they focus too much on replacing our lives with digital equivalents, and don’t do enough to encourage actually getting together with friends."
