A Future for Locle in Mobile Coupons
Pat Phelan from MaxRoam (Cubic Telecom) sees where Locle is going, in relation to monetizing user location: bargains. Or in industry speak: location-and-time based coupons.

Locle looks to third-party networks such as Ocode and Yoose to supply the coupon campaigns, passing the campaign to the relevant audience and sharing the payout.
However, it’s companies like NearbyNow who are best positioned to deliver the scale needed.
Locle for iPhone launched on iTunes App Store
It took months and Apple rejected it no less than 4 times (“we don’t like the shape of your buttons”!), but Locle for iPhone and iPod Touch is now available.
You can download it from the iTunes App Store either from your PC/Mac or directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch:

Please take the time to give us a 5-star rating and write a positive review. These things make a difference.
We’re charging a humble €1.59 or $1.99 because, well, because we’d like to earn some money 
But we’re giving away unlimited “share” licenses to iPhone users, so they can invite all their friends who don’t have iPhones to join with them in Locle. What a deal!
So, go on… download it now.
