AroundMe is a mobile application for iOS, Android and Windows Phone platforms that allows users to quickly find nearby points of interest (POI) such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, parking, hospitals and much more.
AroundMe was the first mobile application for the iPhone to use the Google's location-aware API and also was the first mobile application to make use of Google dynamic mobile advertisement. As of March 2009, over 5 million copies of AroundMe have been downloaded and installed[needs update].
