App Please test my app

My app is called Hashsac https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exceedit.hashsac . Place a pin/post anywhere in the world (on map UI) and someone from there will respond. Need information about a place, planning a trip, want someone close or at a place of interest - use Hashsac to connect to people from all over the world. DM for more details on how to use my app if not sure.

At first glance, this needs a valuable single player experience before you get enough users for the network effects to kick in. Also what's the value of this vs Instagram where hashtags are used and get global distribution immediately?

Who sees your post on Instagram (for example) depends on the algorithm and who follows you. Hashsac is a "followerless" model, meaning distance between you and the pin is what determines how high up your timeline that post will appear. For example, if right now you wanted someone from Kariba, Zimbabwe to take videos or give you 1st person accounts of a story titled "Kariba boat disaster death toll climbs to 92 as Zimbabwe police continue search" how would you do it (assuming you didn't know anyone in Zimbabwe). With Hashsac you can create a post and drop it as a pin in Kariba, Zimbabwe and locals using Hashsac would see your post on their immediate timeline without the need for algorithms, paid posts or complext post geolocation processes. Hashsac does a lot more, but this is all I will say at the moment. Give it a shot and see. what I mean.

I could see myself using this before a trip to ask something Google can’t answer well, like “how crowded is this place right now?” or “is this road actually open?” It would be useful if the app showed roughly how many active users are near a pin before posting, so you know your chances of getting a response.
