Refresh, the mobile app that makes it easy to find a common ground and build stronger relationships with new acquaintances, has announced today that it will be launching of its new web app, along with a significant update for its existing iOS app. Both the web and iPhone app now feature email notifications, recent news and new data sources for insights.

With Refresh, users can dive deeper into their contacts, friends and business partners, and by syncing the app to their calendar, users will have instant access to insights on the people they’re meeting. Refresh analyzes data from more than 100 sources around the web, including Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Yelp, Google+, Instagram and Foursquare, and collects public information into a handy guide to help you make the most out of your meetings, interviews and conversations.
“At Refresh, we’re focused on creating a tool that helps everybody build stronger relationships, and in the past few months, we’ve used data to understand what’s critical for connecting and making conversation,” said Bhavin Shah, CEO and Co-Founder at Refresh. “With that information, we took an informed position on which details are the most critical to know. We reorganized our insights to prioritize what’s most useful, while also making it easier for users to find specific facts to build trust and rapport.”
The new Refresh apps for iOS and web debut several exciting new features, including recent news about people and companies, email notifications and more powerful and visually-focused insights with logos, faces and icons.
Key Features of both the new web and iOS app include:
- Instant Insights: Sync Refresh with your calendar to receive insights on the people you’re meeting and make lasting first impressions, or quickly get up-to-date on those you already know.
- Put Context Behind Your Facts: Refresh not only aggregates social information, but also connects the dots by personalizing the data to reveal shared interest, mutual connections, and more.
