FAQs
Q: How is ChX different than other check-in apps like: Swarm, Yelp and Facebook?
A: ChX is an aggregator app, and combines all these existing and new social check-in apps into one interface for the watch user, seeking to simplify the user's process. It also leverages location based "push" notifications, NFC, beacons and other new technologies to alert your watch app, so you are reminded to check-in. ChX never shows you where other friends are at... as we believe this a bit odd - "big brother-ish." ChX is not used solely for connecting with other people, it is designed to connect with a business, company or store you patron. Companies are looking to find direct to mobile/wearable communications to customers.
Q: How can ChX help me follow the location stores, businesses, or companies?
A: After checking-in to any location with ChX, we offer you to follow that business's pre-seleceted social channels, in one easy to find step. Each company/business location can pre-select what social channel they would like their fans to follow, making it easy for both parties to directly engage. Research shows that when consumers reach out to companies, and companies reply directly a strong new relationship is thus developed. The business can then engage with customers via social media channels of their choice.
Q: Can I share a photo or personal comment using ChX?
A: Yes, if you take a photo on your iOS phone, simply touch the camera button and ChX will pull and attach the last photo/s taken to your shared check-in. If you want to add a personalized comment, simply hold your finger down on any social icon for 2-3 seconds and a comment box will pop up. The default text for the a check-in is "Just checked in at (location name) with chX app #chXin #storename"
As ChX develops with new user data, we will modify and iterate the default check-in making it more customize-able for the user and locations.
Q: How does ChX generate revenues?
A: ChX is a new app solution to serve the B2C geo-location check-in industry, so first we focus on getting users and customers! We can see great sponsorship opportunities from the companies and businesses, as partners. We do not plan to add advertising in the beginning, but as the user base grows, we can offer a variety of sponsorship and top-tier placements to companies. The goal is to get millions of people to #chXin first via the watch app.
