# xaround: Connect with people on your campus
xaround is a social app for university and college campus communities. Members can post and reply anonymously while verified student and alumni badges stay visible, and an AI moderator screens content 24/7.
xaround is free to download on iOS and Android and is built and operated by S Rank Sdn. Bhd., a software company in Malaysia.
## Key facts
- Price: xaround is free to use. xaround Premium is an optional subscription that supports development and adds three perks: a verified seal next to your name everywhere on xaround, boosted replies that start a little higher in every thread's ranking (anonymous replies are never boosted), and editing your posts and replies within 30 minutes of posting.
- iOS: iOS 17.6 or higher, on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xaround/id1516194727).
- Android: Android 11.0 (API 30) or higher, on [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zyepher.xaround).
- Communities: Campus communities are for universities and colleges; Circle communities are for shared hobbies, interests, or topics.
- Verification: each member holds at most one role per community, such as Verified Student or Verified Alumni, and each community's moderators handle verification.
- Anonymous posting: any post or reply can be made anonymously. The author's identity is used only to validate the submission and check for policy violations, is never stored with the content, and their verification badge stays visible.
- Moderation: text and photo posts go up instantly, and an AI moderator screens content 24/7 to maintain community standards.
- Direct Messages: messages disappear right after viewing, or after 24 hours (the default), 48 hours, or 7 days, and every message is deleted from xaround's servers at most 15 days after sending.
- Attachments: up to 6 photos or GIFs per post or reply.
- Minimum age: 18+ in Brazil, North America, Europe and most other regions, and 19+ in South Korea.
- Origin: Nik Fikri, a Software Engineering graduate of Sunway University in Malaysia, started xaround there. The first release, in 2021, was a proof of concept; xaround v2, released in 2026, is the full product.
- Replies: replies to a post are ranked by how relevant and useful they are, not only by when they arrived. xaround Premium subscribers' named replies get a small head start; anonymous replies never do.
- Maker: S Rank Sdn. Bhd. (Company No. 202501046409 (1647817-H)), a software company in Malaysia: [sranksoftware.com](https://sranksoftware.com).
- Support: email fikri@sranksoftware.com or Discord zyepher; replies within 48 hours.
