Official Offline Meetup with the SynchroLife Team and users of the SynchroLife Japanese App

Hello, thank you for your continued interest in and support of SynchroLife!

As you may already know, SynchroLife currently has a beta version out avaliable for free for both iOS and Android smartphones. 📲

The SynchroLife app was updated in summer 2017 to begin coverage of over 155 countries worldwide in English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean, however the original beta for SynchroLife was done in Japan and in Japanese only.

Today we’d like to introduce you to our current user base in Japan and the activity and results we’ve already seen in the land of the rising sun! 🇯🇵

User Added Restaurants

Users in Japan have personally added over 35,000 new restaurants to the platform during the beta.

Average number of new restaurants added daily

There are an average of 25 new restaurant additions submitted daily in Japan!

Most common customer support message

By far the most common customer support message during the beta was users informing us of newly opened or permanently closed restaurants that needed to be updated in SynchroLife. Even without token rewards our community in Japan has been extremely proactive in helping us maintain our restaurant database 💪

Most Frequent Raters

The most frequent and top raters during our beta in Japan have each already posted over 2000 different restaurant ratings! That’s a lot of food!

Over 20,000 new food photos a month!

Since the release of the international beta of SynchroLife the number of users continues to grow and the number of food photos has been growing by over 20,000 photos a month! From April 2017 to August 2017, the number of total photos grew by over 75,000 photos and now there are almost 400,000 photos that have been uploaded to SynchroLife!

Offline Meetups

We’ve hosted five official offline meetups in order to meet directly with some of our most passionate users to discuss the service with them over good food! So far we have hosted four official events in the city of Tokyo and one in Osaka.

Many of our users have also begun connecting on their own and regularly host unofficial “シンクロ会” (Synchro Parties) at popular foodie spots throughout Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Osaka in Japan. SynchroLife Team members have also attended many of these unofficial meetups to enjoy the good food and talk directly with our users. 😊

Coming Next

As can be seen in the road map in our white paper we plan to complete the core development for adding blockchain technology and the token rewards system into SynchroLife by June 2018, and then basic marketing tools for restaurants by summer-fall 2018.

Throughout this development period we plan to continue to improve the usability and overall experience in the app, continue to add more detailed areas and languages to make the app easier to use worldwide, and to grow our current userbase.

We plan to begin really marketing and growing the platform after the initial release of the blockchain & token rewards. Join now to be one of the first to build a following and start sharing restaurants in your country so you’re all ready to get the maximum amount of SynchroCoin token rewards when they start! 👍

We are determined to make SynchroLife a success worldwide and we hope you’ll join our international community! Please feel free to contact the SynchroLife Team at info@synchrolife.org if you have any questions regarding SynchroLife. Thanks for reading!
