PinDrop

Getting closer!!!

Sooo many more events are being added by everyone!! Check out other areas also as PinDrop grows!! Nixa!! Branson!! Marshfield!! Grove Springs - - all over!!

😂 Facebook is currently in a full-blown war against bad ChatGPT flyers.

But can we say something? Maybe the problem isn’t the flyer.

Maybe we’ve outgrown relying on flyers to tell people what’s happening in town. Because whether it was made in Canva, ChatGPT, Photoshop, PowerPoint, or Paint… it still gets posted, shared a few times, buried in the feed, and forgotten.

That’s exactly why we built PinDrop. Put your event where people are actually LOOKING for something to do. FREE!!

📍 On the map
📅 On the right day
⏰ At the right time
🎃 In the right category
🏪 Connected to your business

No hunting through Facebook posts. No screenshotting flyers. No “Wait… was that this weekend?” Just open PinDrop and see what’s happening around you.

Make the pretty flyer if you want. But put the EVENT on PinDrop. 😉

📣 The newest PinDrop update is now LIVE in the Apple App Store! 🍎📍

We’ve added some exciting new features to make finding local events even easier — and one of the biggest updates came by popular request from YOU:

❤️ Follow Local Businesses
You can now follow your favorite local businesses and stay connected to the places you love most.

Love a certain food truck? Follow them and keep up with where they’ll be, what events they’re part of, and what they post — all in one place. No more hoping you happen to catch their latest Facebook post at the right time. The same goes for boutiques, vendors, venues, and other local favorites. If you love them, follow them!

🍂 New Seasonal Icons Are Here
This one is going to be SO fun.

We added a new Seasonal event icon so it’s easier to spot all the festive fall and holiday fun happening around town. Think:

🎃 Pumpkin patches
👻 Trick-or-treat houses on Halloween
🚗 Trunk-or-treat locations
🍁 Fall festivals
🕸️ Spooky season events
🍬 Kid-friendly holiday activities

Just imagine gathering up the kids and having a full day of activities all mapped out for you — all in one place. That’s exactly the kind of thing PinDrop is made for. Whether you’re planning a fun family day, looking for Halloween stops, or trying to find every fall activity around town, the new Seasonal icon will make it easier than ever.

What’s new in PinDrop 1.0.1:
• Follow local businesses
• Event creators can now include their business name on event listings
• Added a new Seasonal event icon for fall and spooky-season activities
• Increased the default map search radius to 5 miles for easier discovery
• Performance improvements to help the map load more efficiently
• Additional bug fixes and improvements throughout the app

PinDrop helps you discover yard sales, food trucks, festivals, community events, local shopping, seasonal fun, and more — all in one place.

If you already have the app, go grab the update!

Okay… this is a really exciting update. 😭🎉

PinDrop has officially been approved by Apple and should be showing up in the App Store at any time now! 🍎📍 - (edit.. within 24 hours from 11am today - lol)

I still can’t believe I’m finally saying that!!!! The pictures attached show some of the features that are already built into the app, including: the Map, where you can see what’s happening around you and filter by distance, date, and event type - the Create Event flow, where you can add the basic info, location, schedule, features, and photos - and the locations can narrow down to the exact spot in the parking lot, you can search for the address or venue and place the event pin where you drag the map! The schedule screen, where you can add multiple dates, ongoing events, and overnight events - My Hub is where you can keep up with your own events, favorites, ratings, and other activities like the Manage Your Events area, where you can see what’s live, still a draft, ended, or has an issue and the Premium section, which gives people who post events regularly more flexibility with dates and recurring events (in case you have a reoccurring event) - And of course, there’s the PinDrop home screen that I have probably stared at about 400,000 times while building this thing. 😂

Now that Apple has approved it, I’m going to start preloading as many local events as I can find so there’s plenty to see when people start downloading it. And once you have the app, feel free to add events too! Yard sales, school events, fundraisers, food trucks, markets, sports, community events, seasonal stuff — if something is happening locally, I want people to be able to find it. Did I mention this app is FREE??!! You can find events and add events for FREE!!!!

This is a HUGE step and I am ridiculously excited to finally get PinDrop out into the world. Android is on the way too — Google still has me finishing out their required testing period that I already completed but I didnt log it right.. (newbie here!!), but it’s coming!

So for my Apple people… Keep an eye on the App Store. PinDrop is almost there. 🍎📍🎉

Because something’s always happening.
