Auburn, MA, United States, 2013/09/18 - Talkkr, a new iOS 7 app is coming out today for Apple’s iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch with the release of iOS7. This app lets you connect with people in your immediate area, with only a bluetooth and/or wifi connection, no cellular network required.

Utilizing iOS7's new multipeer connectivity feature, Talkkr is the new chat app that lets users chat with others on a micro local level (within wifi or bluetooth range). Users can chat with others at the same concert, share notes in class, or meet a new friend at a coffee shop. Talkkr can even be used in an emergency situation to stay connected to the people around you when normal cell services are down.
It's simple, just open the app and you immediately join an existing chat room. If a chat isn't taking place, you automatically start your own. We don't ask for an email address and there is no signup or login process; users simply open up Talkkr and start chatting. Furthermore, it is totally anonymous, so users in the chat don't know who each other are unless they point themselves out. Chat room content is not transmitted via the internet, so there is no chance of the NSA encroaching on your privacy.
Version 1 of Talkkr allows users to set a custom user name and status message if they choose, otherwise they are assigned a random user name. Talkkr is great to use at crowded locations where getting a signal might be difficult. Just turn on your bluetooth and let Talkkr do the rest. Also, look forward to private messaging within chats, coming shortly after the Talkkr release.
Talkkr can be installed on iOS7 devices starting today and is available for download from the App Store.
Talkkr (talkkr.com) is based out of Boston, MA and was founded in July 2013. It is a self funded company, bootstrapped from the beginning by entrepreneurs, Nate Hudson, Jason Rush, and Dan Rush. Previous companies the team members have been involved with include PureVolume, Virb, and ShoutBot.
