GoDaddy recently launched Flare, which is a unique community-based app that helps entrepreneurs bring potential business ideas to life. Flare allows people to share ideas and get guidance from friends, fellow entrepreneurs, and experts in a fun and collaborative way, to receive feedback and drive new concepts or ideas forward.

Upon opening the Flare app, users see new business ideas from the community and can swipe left to "skip," swipe right to "snooze" or tap to learn more and "love" an idea. When an idea has enough "loves," the entrepreneur behind it can pose questions to the idea's followers which are people who have reacted to the idea. Users can also become followers of an idea and be a potential future customer, which provides valuable insight to entrepreneurs on the market demand for their products or services.

We tried the app ourselves and found it easy-to-use and very interactive. You can connect your Facebook or LinkedIn profile to make it easier to network within the app.
