One feed, one item, one return
Pinglo 1.0 made reporting a lost or found item calm and private: post the essentials, match carefully, confirm the return.
Pinglo 1.1 · Out now on iPhone
Lost & found just became something a whole place can share.
Pinglo started as a calm way for one person to get one item back. Version 1.1 opens that up to the places where things actually go missing — campuses, venues, workplaces — with private community feeds you can join in seconds, safety posts alongside lost & found, and one-tap reporting to keep every feed trustworthy.
Free update for everyone. Already have Pinglo? It’s waiting in the App Store.
The story behind 1.1
One question kept coming back: “Can our whole campus use this?”
Lost items rarely go missing in the middle of nowhere. They go missing in lecture halls, hotel lobbies, gyms, and station concourses — places with their own people, their own hand-in desks, and their own way of looking out for each other. So 1.1 gives every place its own Pinglo.
Places wanted in
Universities, venues, and workplaces asked for a feed of their own — somewhere members could see what’s lost, what’s found, and what’s happening nearby.
Every place gets a private feed
Scan a Pinglo poster and you’re inside your community’s feed — lost & found plus safety posts, kept clean by one-tap reporting.
New · Scan to join
Point your camera at a poster. You’re in.
No searching, no invite links buried in emails. When your campus, venue, or workplace puts up a Pinglo poster, anyone can scan it and land straight in that community’s private feed — in the time it takes to unlock your phone.
- Joining takes seconds — scan once and the community is yours, right from the Communities tab.
- Private by design — feeds are for the people who are actually there, not the open internet.
- Works for visitors too — guests at a hotel or event can scan, check the feed, and go.

New · Community Safety feed
More than lost & found. A feed that looks out for people.
Once you’re in a community, the feed isn’t just items. Members and operators can post safety alerts, hand-in points, and safe meetup spots — the everyday knowledge that usually lives on noticeboards and group chats, now in one calm place next to lost & found.
- Safety alerts — non-emergency heads-ups for your campus, venue, or workplace.
- Hand-in points & safe spots — everyone knows where found items go and where to meet safely.
- One feed per place — lost, found, and safety posts together, so nothing gets missed.
New · Report any post
Community feeds only work if you can trust them.
Opening Pinglo up to communities meant taking moderation seriously from day one. In 1.1, every member-written post carries a report control — long-press it, or tap the ••• menu. Reported posts are hidden from your feed immediately and sent to our team to review.
- Instant effect — the post disappears from your feed the moment you report it.
- Reviewed by people — every report reaches our team, not a black hole.
- Everywhere — community posts, feed items, and chats all have report and block controls.
Also in 1.1
The small things got attention too.
