Bouncity Releases Android App, Gets McDonald’s Indonesia As Merchant

Several months after Bouncity — Indonesia’s answer to SCVNGR — launched its Blackberry app and mobile web app, we kind of sensed that an Android app would be up next. And today it is ready for users to download.

This Bouncity Android app promises to have a beautiful interface and high resolution icons. From what we have seen so far, it is indeed looking good. The new Android app also comes with two new minor features: A “time-detecting home screen” which… uh… detects time (like morning or night) and another feature which lets users explore nearby places with challenges, and also view friends on a visual map.

The new Android app is just part of the news we heard from Bouncity. We also learned that the team has recently signed on McDonald’s Indonesia as a new merchant on Bouncity, adding on to its already impressive list of merchants which includes Burger King, Dairy Queen, and Sour Sally. Details of the deals are undisclosed. But it’s quite a feat for a young start-up to be able to tie up with some of these big brands so quickly.

Earlier in July this year, we learned that Bouncity has over 16,000 users and 325,000 challenges completed. While we don’t have updated numbers yet, it’s probably safe to assume that the numbers should be much larger by now.
