A way to help this app!

Hi Andrew, custom relationships are a very popular feature request and coming soon. Thanks for taking the time to review. ~ Mark
Expanded Relationship Options Needed; Great Otherwise
Response from developer
Hi William, custom relationships are coming soon along with many more improvements. We're in the process of a big rebuild and modernization of Revere to unlock faster feature creation. Thanks for the review and stay tuned. ~ Mark
Missing critical feature
What is needed is a basic flash card game to help one actually remember the contacts added. I get that it’s great for close friends, but when you have a memory disability there aren’t many tools to help you remember your own friends.
Response from developer
Hey Leaf, I appreciate the review and feedback. A flashcard game would help remembering people and I actually considered it at one point. In the end, I didn't feel I could build a good notes app and good memory app – they felt like different things... at least with Revere at it's current size. A memory sidemode could work in theory, but right now there are still a lot of notes & reminders-based features I want to add so I wouldn't want to make any promises about that coming soon. I see the need for what you're looking for.

Thanks for calling that out. Signed, Mark
Excellent app

Thanks for taking the time to write this Leo 🙏
Great App - missing an important feature
The feature it lacks (needs) is a field allows one to identify how each of your contacts are connected (if they are). For example each of my son’s records would list me as father and my record would each of them as son but nothing would link them to each other. Same for connected families and friends. Being able to show connections between people other than to me would take this app to the next level - effectively making it a family tree for living people and a connection tree for all my contacts (that only I have access to for privacy reasons).
Add that feature and you will have my subscription. :-)
Response from developer
Hey Aussie, noted and agreed. The connections between people would be really useful. I'm definitely working towards building that. First there are some updates to the UI that need to happen to make visualizing that info a nice experience. Thanks for the feedback, it's particularly meaningful from someone as discerning as you (having done your research reading reviews 2 years back). Mark
Need an account?
Response from developer
Hi Ansk, I can definitely appreciate people not wanting to create accounts. I chose to require them so data could be backed up and synced between platforms in the future. Without accounts none of that would be possible. Thanks for the feedback. Mark
Great - but could you add option to link to Facebook?
Response from developer
Thank you for writing Erin. I stayed away from Facebook because of the privacy issues people feel with the service. Facebook also requires you to share information with them when you connect and I personally wasn’t comfortable doing that. Point taken though on making it easier to pre-populate photos and names.

$5/month turns me off
Response from developer
Hi Isaac, that is totally understandable. A one-time payment is preferred by many people but it’s not possible to make a niche app with that business model — it costs more than that in ads to get someone to buy it. I’m playing the long game of finding people who find enough value to pay for it every month, that way I can keep it going forever. Appreciate the feedback though. Mark
Would be great, except no notifications.
I will also say that Revere hangs quite frequently, whenever I move from one app to another. The lag is quite substantial and seems localized only to this app.
It isn’t a very helpful app if all of the reminders never show up at all. :/ happy to change my review if I can get this figured out though.
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for writing. I can try to get the notification issue sorted for you – can you send me an email at support@revereapp.com. As for the hanging when switching apps, that's something that can happen on older phones and we have an update coming to improve that.
