WHAT IS AskLah?

AskLah is a question-and-answer app where real-time location-based questions can be answered by other users.

Your questions will be answered by a real human being, not by a computer!

AskLah allows anyone to connect and share information with others without having to know them.

AskLah also lets you help decide on the best answers through Likes.

Questions and answers limited to 160 characters to minimize long-winded stories or unrelated tangents.

Learn things about your neighborhood, or help others with information.

REAL-TIME ANSWERS

With AskLah, you get the latest information on current events or situations.

These are answers you may not be able to get through Googling, because only the person at the scene has the REAL-TIME answer right there and then.

AskLah will only keep questions and answers for a short period, after which they will be deleted. This way, we make sure that information is up-to-date.

NO FOLLOWING OR FOLLOWERS

With AskLah, there is no need to follow anybody or to have followers.

No registration is required for browsing the questions and answers.

AskLah only requires users to register if they wish to post questions or answers.

Posting of questions and answers will be done through user-chosen nicks.
