Orange County Based CMRK Interactive Launches With Successful Golf App - Local Links

IRVINE, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- CMRK Interactive, a local mobile application development company, kicks off their business with the introduction of their first iPhone application, Local Links. The app is designed to assist iPhone users in locating nearby golf courses. Additionally, users may get driving directions, read and compose reviews, and view photos of courses around the world.

CMRK Interactive is the brainchild of four Orange County, California natives, and avid golfers. Friends since childhood, and all between the ages of 24 and 25 - they have experience from some of the most successful media and technology companies in Southern California. Throughout the pace of their busy lives, they have come to recognize the importance of making things mobile, and strive to push the envelope of this growing industry.

"Mobile phones are changing the way we live every day," said Marc Lu, Chief Creative Officer of CMRK Interactive. "Having access to everything in the palm of your hand is revolutionizing the way we think about everyday activities - one of which is finding golf courses."  

Thus, Local Links was born and has quickly become a top ten sports application, and one of the highest ranked golf applications on iTunes. The app combines functionality with a social element by allowing users to rate courses and contribute to the app by uploading their own content, such as course photos, to encourage social interactions. According to Golfnow.com, there are 26.2 million golfers in the United States. With the iPhone being among the top US smartphones, CMRK Interactive has big plans for this lucrative audience.

"The opportunities are endless, from challenging friends to a match to booking a tee time and tracking your scores," said Ryan Lu, Chief Technology Officer of CMRK Interactive. "As we develop Local Links, as well as additional applications, social interactions will be a critical aspect of the design and development process. Linking mobile technologies with this social element is the future of technology."
