About Drop It: Hidden Notes Nearby
Drop It lets you leave digital footprints at real-world locations. Post a photo, video or message where you're standing, and only people who come to the same spot can see it. HOW IT WORKS • Drop: post a photo, video or text right where you are. • Discover: open drops near you. • React: like, dislike and reply to what you find. • Explore the map: see where drops are piling up, then go there. • Nearby alerts: turn them on and Drop It tells you about drops near you that you haven't seen, even when the app is closed. PLAY • Aura: your reputation. Posting earns it, and votes on your drops push it up or down. Yes, it can go below zero. • Dripcoins: earn them by completing missions, and spend them to swap a mission you can't do. • Daily missions: three quick goals every day, plus a bonus for clearing all three. • Streaks: post a drop every day to keep yours alive. • Leaderboards: see where you rank worldwide and in your province. • Titles: collect them and choose which one shows on your profile. • Daily venue: a featured spot to visit each day, in Montréal for now. • Notifications: know when someone likes or replies to your drop, or when it takes off. TRY IT FIRST Tap Start exploring to look around as a guest before you sign up. SAFE BY DESIGN • Report any drop or reply. We review reports within 24 hours. • Location details stored inside your photos are removed. • Nearby alerts are off until you turn them on, and keep only your last location, for 30 minutes, with no history. • You must be 13 or older to use Drop It.
