Ntro

Ntro is an app for iPhones and Android that lets you find like-minded people, and then get in touch with them on a certain social service. Basically, if you want to find people who share the same interest, like photography, music, and whatnot, Ntro will help the search much easier.

It connects you with nearby people who are on the same wavelength as you. You simply need to key them on or import them from Facebook. Be explicit, be fun! That’s part of the excitement. And then, Ntro will work through your match and deliver you one when it finds it. Once you found someone interesting, you can send them in- app messages, add them as your friend on Facebook, or simply say hello. You are in control of whom and how you want to meet the person you find cool.

In a nutshell, Ntro is like an incorporation of three services namely Sonar, Banjo, and Mingle. The end result is rather amazing as it has brought out the best of each service and rolled it into one new site, Ntro. Just like Sonar does, it can find nearby people with the same interest. Similarly, everything is done automatically like Banjo and you can easily introduce yourself just like Mingle does.

What’s more is that, even though you find people, your privacy is very well taken care of. Ntro never shares your private information such as you email address or phone number, without getting your consent.

Aside from that, it has a great cover flow-ish method in browsing feature. That is to say, every category, a band or a sport, an activity or a book, it is being specified by a thumbnail. At this time, only those who are in L.A. and S.F. are able to find nearby matches although anyone can download the app and delve into it.
