Welcome to Trover, a new smartphone-based social network that lets you share discoveries with friends and fellow explorers in a visual, fun way – all based on your location. As a trover, you can log remarkable places and things by snapping a photo and adding a quick note. When your friends and others pass by in the future they, too, can experience your discovery. Track the paths of friends and other interesting folks using our “follow” model. Ultimately, Trover will become your highly personalized guide to the world.

Some of our favorite discoveries

Start sharing adventures today with Trover!

Grab your smartphone and see what others have discovered nearby. Scroll through discoveries and “wander” farther from your location. You can travel virtually through nearby neighborhoods, towns, and states. If a discovery catches your eye, click on it to see more details and read what others are saying about it, or post a question to the person who made the discovery. We also provide directions, so you can go check it out.

Have fun posting your own discoveries to Trover by snapping a photo or selecting one from your photo album. It might be an arresting piece of graffiti, a hidden beach at the end of a winding path, or a killer sale at a favorite shoe store. You can add a description and we’ll attach it to the photo and location.

Follow individuals who find places and things that appeal to you. Invite friends to Trover and see what they’re uncovering nearby or in another city. And, stay tuned, as you may receive a “thanks” from someone who finds one of your discoveries on Trover and thinks it’s cool, too.
