Sighter app review: take part in the ultimate treasure hunt

Introduction

Did you know that outdoor treasure hunting is actually a huge activity that plenty of people take part in, even in an organized manner? The Sighter app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone makes it possible for you to take part in a fun hide and seek activity that is filled with all kinds of fabulous sights. This is a social treasure hunt that involves people all around. Just launch the app and find out what's nearby so you can take part.

A Massive Treasure Hunt

Think of this as a massive treasure hunt that will have you checking out all kinds of cool and amazing sights. The app requires users to take and share photos. The way it works is that you launch the app and then you will be given the nearby by sights along with easy-to-follow directions and distances to them. Once you find the sight you need to take a photo to prove you have found it. If you launch the app and there are no sights nearby this is your chance to find some of your own and then hide them. Others will then be able to search for them and take a photo when found.

In its most recent update there were a couple of enhancements made such as the fact you can delete your Sights and the problem with the Imperial units has now been fixed. The app currently has a perfect five star rating from users who couldn't be more pleased with this social hide and seek challenge.

 

Be On the Look-Out

This app really changes the way you view your location as you'll be busy looking for Sights to hide and Sights to find. If you stumble across something interesting while out and about you can hide a brand new Sight about it and let others discover it as well. To hide new Sights is really easy just use the camera button that you will find on the top right corner of the app. Just to make the app even more accessible to people it is available in several common languages.

What I love is that while you're searching for a Sight, not only will you see its distance from you but then it will start to say things such as "lukewarm" and "hot." The user interface is quite beautiful and I love that the photos are such high quality. The app is not only fun to take part in but educates you on nearby Sights.
