From the developers:
Naturally Over Here app works best at night or in low light conditions where clothing and other indicators are harder to spot. Over Here is best for situations like:
- In restaurants
- In stadiums
- In a crowded airport
- In bars
- In movie theaters
- At concerts
- At large festivals
- On the street
- Pretty much anywhere..
The interface is pretty straightforward and easy to use. What is also great is that you have 6 different colors (each with 4 shade options) to choose from.
It's simple and effective, and free, of course, though with a little banner ad at the bottom of the screen when picking colour shades:
You've got to love a bit of lateral thinking. Most such utilities require a friend noticing a message on their phone, following a link of some kind, downloading a map and then working out where they are relative to what's shown. With this 'Over here' implementation, they just look around, spot the flashing light and head straight for you.
Of course, there's the downside that if they're not in your vicinity yet, you may have to stand around for a while holding a flashing phone above your head and feeling like a dork!
Over Here is available as a free download in the Windows Phone store here.
