Description: Start a digital space, right at your event or place
- Spaces are mini-social networks, right where you are (visible within 1,000 feet)
- Your guests join in and group message, take and share photos and videos as a group, and discover and connect with others in your space

Also great just for connecting with others next to you (within 1,000 feet)
- Message and share pictures, videos, contacts, music links, and web links
- Save the memories and stay connected afterwards - continue messaging and sharing photos and videos wherever you are - distance doesn't matter
- No need for addresses - just open up LoKast, together with others next to you

Use LoKast at:
- Birthday parties, house parties, social events
- Concerts, sports games, charity events
- Bars, nightclubs, and restaurants
- Picnics, barbecues, and parks
- Tweetups, meetups, networking events
- Conferences and offices

----------- KEY STEPS TO USE -----------

1. Download LoKast
2. Set-up your name, profile pic, and bio / status - think "digital outfit"
3. Create a Space (button at upper right of Here screen) - something like "My Spot"
4. Ask others next to you to open up LoKast, and join your space

NOTE 1: Make sure to turn Location and Push Notifications On - don't worry, we go to great lengths to protect your privacy

NOTE 2: You can use LoKast to connect 1-on-1 or in a group (in spaces) - all you need to do is turn on LoKast together with others next to you (no need to bump)

NOTE 3: Some corporate LANs block WiFi Internet ports for popular messengers, including LoKast - you may not be able to use LoKast on WiFi in those corporate settings. We are working on a work-around to this and will have it available as soon as we can.
