The Real Time App is a free multimedia application available for iPhone users. Developed by John Kauffman, this app aims to connect people who care about their communities' news and what is covered by the media. It creates a closed network where users can share geo and time-verified photos and videos of local newsworthy events.

One of the key features of The Real Time App is its focus on providing "real news" by offering verified content to local and national media outlets. By doing so, it aims to contribute to the accuracy and reliability of news coverage.

The app allows users to tag locations and topics, enabling them to see what is trending across the network. Additionally, users can search for specific locations using the search bar, providing a more focused experience.

The Real Time App can be linked to existing social media platforms or used as a standalone app. It leverages the existing social media landscape, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, to reach a wider audience and make news content more accessible. Unlike other similar apps, The Real Time App ensures the accuracy of location metadata, preventing manipulation of information.

Users of The Real Time App will have a user agreement similar to Facebook, and they can flag other videos and pictures for possible misuse. The app also encourages collaboration with newsroom managers, publishers, journalists, and news enthusiasts, allowing them to utilize the app as a tool for spreading important news and maintaining journalistic integrity.

Overall, The Real Time App offers a platform for users to contribute to the documentation of real news events in their communities, while providing media outlets with verified content for their broadcasts and publications.
