Piin app is an ultra geo-location specific app, so seeing people checked in around you is a numbers game dependent on how many people are on the app in your area, at the same time as you.  Piin was launched in April 2019 and it takes time to gain users. If you love the concept behind Piin as much as we do, please share the app with your friends to increase the community and increase the chance of you getting matches!
