Live it before you visit it

A new app promises to make those nights out more wholesome

The most important part of going out is deciding where to go, and given the overabundance of pubs/bars in the Delhi-NCR region, the decision-making process is often stretched. Add to that the different music preferences. Say you have an eclectic taste in music but the DJ doesn’t play anything but EDM, or you’re hankering for some good old rock, but the pub prefers Ariana Grande. You might have a good time because of the company, but listening to music you don’t like might put a damper on your evening. Thankfully, I recently found a nifty little app called PeepIn that lets you experience the place before you visit it.
 
It offers the usual features as any other nightlife app. It gives you information about the discounts/offers, the type of cuisine, cost for two and location.
 
However, developed by Contextual Experiences, the app does come with unique features. PeepIn, as the name suggests, lets you take a realtime peep inside the place you’ve zeroed in on. The app has video “peeps” that are basically 10-second livestreams shot realtime through the cameras placed at the bar. The app also lets you see what music is being played.
 
I used the app to check what music was being played at bars/clubs in Gurgaon, and I was pleased to find that the app not only listed the tracks and the genre played in the past hour but also the current track being played. The app also lets you stay abreast of the ongoing offers and live performances.
 
Available for both iOS and Android devices, PeepIn is a free-to-download app. It’s a must for those who prefer a wholesome experience rather than just going out to eat or drink. The app also provides the answer for the recurring question: “Where do you want to go tonight?”
