Places

What a place is

A place is a small circle on the map, from 25 to 150 metres around a spot you choose: a shop, a stall, a stop, a field, a front door. In the app, open your questions and tap Pin to a place. Anyone who opens ALLE inside that circle sees your questions under Near you, without scanning anything.

One conversation

A place doesn't start a second conversation. The link, the QR code and every place you pin all open the same questions, and every answer lands in the same thread. If you're in more than one spot, pin the same questions to each.

A door, not a wall

Once someone has answered, the conversation stays with them. If they walk away, your questions stay in Near you for an hour, so nobody loses their place halfway through.

Open to everyone

A place helps the people nearby find your questions. It never shuts anyone out: whoever has your link or QR code can answer from wherever they are, on the web or in the app.

When places overlap

Nobody's questions win. Everything pinned where you stand is listed, the smallest and closest circles first.

Nearby alerts

If you'd like to know when you arrive somewhere with questions waiting, turn on nearby alerts in the app. Your phone watches for pinned places itself and lets you know. You can turn them off in Settings at any time.

Your location

ALLE only uses your location while the app is open, unless you turn on nearby alerts. We don't keep where you've been. More in our privacy policy.

How many places

Everyone can pin one place for free. ALLE Plus lets you pin up to ten.
