LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Roamz, an Australian, location-based, intelligent app that merges real-time, social & mobile technologies to give users a holistic yet hyper-personalized view of the world around them, today will be previewing its latest version of the innovative app at the prestigious Digital Experience media event on the eve of the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. Since launching in October to positive critical and user praise, over 50,000 users have downloaded the Roamz app on to their mobile phones. Now, the latest version of the Roamz app has several new features, based on extensive feedback from users, such as a streamlined onboarding process, extended sharing functionality, and significant performance and content feed upgrades. The Roamz 2.0 app will be available for free in the Apple App store during the first quarter of 2012.

“Our users gave us tremendous insight on the types of features they are looking for and we listened, took their input and ran with it,” said Jonathan Barouch, founder, Roamz. “Now with our user-based input, we strongly believe the latest version of the Roamz app is the most insightful, user-friendly app that cuts through the clutter of social media content and delivers to users the most relevant, real-time insider tips, pictures, local events and attractions going around them.”

Roamz puts intelligent technology with real-time processing into the hands of the users. Initially, when a user connects to Roamz, they will first select the things they are interested in. Through continued use, Roamz quickly learns the user’s interests and likes. In addition, Roamz collates all the social information flowing around the world, from various social media networks, such as Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, and Instagram. By merging online content, social media and mobile technology, Roamz filters the information giving users relevant, real time information about what is happening in their local area.
