App Spotlight: Sniffies

Jan 2 / Admin
Sniffies was created in 2018 by Blake Gallagher in Seattle, Wa. He used the name “Sniffies” because it was an evolution of a previous website that was used for trading underwear, although now it references to “sniffing out whats around.”

The website features an interactive map that will show approximate locations of nearby users who currently or were recently online, as well as active groups or popular meeting spots within a specific geographic area. Users are able to brows the map, view profiles and share pictures with potential partners near their geographic location.

Web Browsing only!

Sniffies currently does not have a mobile application listed in any of the app stores. This means that it is only available to access via a web browser such as Google Chrome or Safari. This also means you will not be able to extract any evidence from a cell phone as there is no application to pull data from.
