Bubblo offers a simple, visual way of locating bars, clubs and restaurants to gauge how busy they and the deals offered. Users can then easily share, chat, and vote on which venue to go to and when to meet. The target audience is 18-35 year olds in London, beginning with university students. At Bubblo we value the unusual, the unorthodox, and the inspired. We refuse to be the marketing team that just puts their logo on a billboard and calls it a day. We want users to feel the passion we have put into our app and really help them connect and explore with their local community better. All of our team have a similar connection and desire to explore the communities where they live and work better and we hope to share this passion with the world!

Bubblo has already crossed 70,000+ downloads and offers a simple, visual way of locating the Top 5 Bars, Clubs, Restaurants, Cafes at any location.  Unlike traditional listing portals which go endlessly on reviews such as Yelp, Bubblo ranks venues in real-time, based on Facebook Likes​, Twitter ‘tweets’ and Instagram ‘hashtags’. Viewing pictures and videos from our gallery rolls out a virtual experience of the selected venue, apart from  booking food, table, drinks and Uber from our app. The proportion of males and females for that venue is available as well. Bubblo has aggressively promoted the app through various printed ads in Bombay Times and Mumbai Mirror. Bubblo is also collaborating with mobile phone manufacturers like Samsung, Panasonic, Carbon, etc. for our app to be pre-installed.
