Depalo app for the Instagramming crowd

You'd have to be from some other planet not to be aware how important posting photos on social media has become to share experiences, photos of places you've been and the dish you're eating at some restaurant, food truck or food hall. If it isn't Instagrammable, it might not be worth doing.

For travelers, now we have the Depalo app that will provide the exact location (including longitude and latitude) of the most Instagram-worthy viewpoints, murals and businesses in each city. And it even sorts the locations starting with the nearest photo op to where you are.

There are two major parts of the app. In the Where's the Wall section, you can find coordinates to a specific location. And in My Trips, you can save favorite locations ahead of time to help plan a trip. And if you find a spot that is worthy of the app, it can easily be submitted for consideration.

Currently, the app covers locations in Austin, Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, Portland, San Francisco, and Sedona. New cities are scheduled to be added weekly, with a global launch next year.

Depalo is designed for the iPhone and can be downloaded now on the App Store for free.
