I do a lot of travel and work. These numbers do not sound like a lot, as I assume a strong focus on the US and I live in Europe.

If I could search on your website and have surprising results (more then expected || new places || unexpected details), that might have convinced me to install the app. Now you didn't.

Ah I see, thanks for the suggestion! The app's quite new so we haven't added that many spots yet, but we're working on it. About 1000 of the spots added so far are non-US.

I guess in this case, these numbers are more of a disclaimer :)

Is that just a copy of https://workfrom.co/ ?

Love what workfrom is doing. We're both in the same space in empowering remote workers, but Work Hard Anywhere focuses on mobile, for on-the-go folks. And more than that, we'd like to encourage our users to build their own coffice community by sharing what they're working on, so people who are in the same space can find ways to network and collaborate with each other.

I like the idea to know who else is 'in da house'. Its not clear (enough) from the website.

Cool, that sounds great! We'll make it more prominent on the website. Thanks again.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe those are only spots that have been reviewed by WHA users. The app itself still has tons and tons of spots (I think from Foursquare data?) that are pinned on the map but needing some feedback from users. It looks like the creators are watching these comments, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're 100% right, the numbers are spots that are reviewed by WHA users. The Foursquare spots are still on the map, but aren't counted because we don't have the work-related attributes yet.
