One more approach that you can follow:

1. Zero out your target location,

2. Go to fiverr.com -> Advertising -> Flyers and Handouts.

3. Choose a person providing a gig at your target location at some school, university or a public place.

4. Make a nice flyer using GIMP or photoshop with your app details and a QR code to download the app.

5. Have him/her use this flyer for distribution.

   I have used it for my app and it has worked to acquire location based app users.

I've tried this with 6 different Fiverr people using a unique signup code. Not a single user from it. There is no way they are posting these flyers in 50 locations per the ad on Fiverr. They threw up a couple on bulletin boards flooded with flyers.
I would have guessed that the guys who "distributes" are better than those who "post". Have you tried these?
That's a great idea! I will save this one for later for me.
