Created a social media app that unifies users contact from the most popular social media apps like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and etc.

The app automatically record the time, location and even converstaion (with users' approvals) when the app users meet in person by using GPS, bluetooth and technologies of wearable devices.
