Description
Knoted is the map for things only locals know. Drop a 140-character tip about where you're standing, and people nearby can confirm what's real or call out what's wrong. The tips that survive are the ones that actually help.
Whether you're hunting for the cheapest parking near campus, the late-night food spot only seniors know about, or the safest walk home after dark, Knoted gives you the real info locals have, dropped right where it matters.

Drop your first knot in 30 seconds. Walk somewhere worth marking, hit Drop, type one line, you're done.
Knoted uses your location to drop, view, and vote on knots near you. Background location is used to send notifications about new knots in your area. Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.
