Welcome to iPick U

You are now searchable. Which means, all members of iPick U can contact you.

On the main screen, you will see five buttons, labeled:

• GPS Search
• Local Search
• Invite
• Recent Conversations
• Favorites

Your iPhone's Bluetooth must be turned on to use the Local search feature.

Push Notifications

You will also see the Current Push Message Counter. This is located at the very bottom, between the Help and Settings Buttons. This counter represents the number of Remaining Outgoing Push Messages you currently have.

Pushes are messages sent via our Push Notification Servers.

All incoming pushes are FREE.

Every outgoing push you send deducts one from your Remaining Messages.

Depending on what promotion is offered during your initial download, you will receive a certain number of outgoing push messages. When the initial amount runs out, you will have the ability to acquire more.

GPS Search

Clicking the GPS Search button will activate GPS search. This search will return all iPick U users that match your search criteria sorted by distance closest to you. The list will include a picture and the user info of each user.

Clicking on any of the users will bring up the User Info screen. On this screen you have two options.

• Chat - takes you to the chat screen
• + Favorites - adds user to your Favorites list

Every user that sends or receives a message from you will automatically get added to your Recent Conversations List.

Local Search

Clicking the Local Search button will activate Bluetooth search. If it so happens that you are in a social environment where there are OTHER iPick U users around, using the app, then based on your search criteria, you will get a list of them.

Clicking on any of the users will bring up the User Info screen. On this screen you have two options.

• Chat - takes you to the chat screen
• Meet - sends out a "Requesting to meet" message to the user
  If a "Meet" request is sent out and accepted, then the two connected iPhones will start to flash the same colored light across the whole screen. One of the iPhones will display "iPick" horizontally, and the other will display "U" vertically. Taping the flashing screen will reveal a faint back button that will return you back to the Main Screen.
