Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

HiNearby allows you to discover new people around you. It shows a map with markers on users locations with the name and photo and allows you to access their facebook profile by clicking on their name. The app combines facebook discover people and nearby features. You can find people by their location but unlike facebook nearby its not necessary to have them on your friend list.

Hi Nearby APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Hi Nearby APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f4197f2a9540d4896fc504a77ce4b75a.
