Leave a Review Cappuccino
Love, but minor wishlist
I downloaded Cappuccino on a whim several years ago and started using it to keep up with my friends throughout our weeks after we graduated. I recently moved across the country for work and I’m converting more and more friends to use it to keep in touch. It can be better than texting in that it feels more “live”, and it can be used when there’s not a good time talk synchronously.
I do have minor wishes for things to be added/adjusted. I would love if there was a way to turn off notifications for cappuccinos when I’m the only one who sent the audio. It’s just a hassle to go through and fast forward to remove the unread messages, i rarely re listen to myself. Timestamps on reactions or comments could also be helpful to remember what they were responding to.Show lessMeganTrapper

Hey there, Thanks a ton for downloading our app! Thank you for sharing your suggestions! We appreciate your feedback and will pass this on to our development team. Turning off notifications when you're the only one who sent audio and adding timestamps for reactions/comments are great ideas. We’re always looking for ways to improve the user experience, so stay tuned for future updates! Got more ideas to make it even better? Hit us up at contact@sociaaal.com. Cheers, The Sociaaal TeamGreat and fun concept
I love this app and the concept of it to stay in touch with friends and family. I wouldn’t consider it super user friendly - potentially adding instruction or “how to” at the beginning would be beneficial. A few fun features would be to change up the music for different people and allow them to pic a particular sound that suits their personality.Show lessCeelcat

Hey there, Thanks a ton for downloading our app! We're stoked to hear you loved it. Feel free to spread the word and keep the good vibes going! Got ideas to make it even better? Hit us up at contact@sociaaal.com. Cheers, The Sociaaal TeamGood app - but recordings are sometimes lost
This app is good and fun to use - but the absolute worst feature of it is how easy it is to lose your recording. If you get a phone call or a timer/alarm goes off (at least on ios) - your recording is gone. Not just stopped (so you can still send it) but as if it were never recorded. This has been surprisingly a big issue for my podcast group - really disheartening when you’re seconds away from finishing and someone calls unexpectedly.Show lessoliviaisninja

I have been using cappuccino with my long distance friends for a few years now, and it’s great! Recently they created a premium version which I was going to pay because I want to support the app, however I saw the prices and can’t justify it. $5/week is $260/year and $10/week is $120/year. That’s more than I pay for apps with several tools and features. And instead of adding valuable features besides prompts (my friends and I make our own for free) they put things we already use behind a paywall. I don’t like the feeling of being forced into premium by taking away things we’re used to. I’m currently looking for another app or going back to Snapchat, but will use the free version for a little longer.
Edit:
If Cappuccino had plans to release new, actually premium features, I would be down to support. As of now, being able to access prompts and listen to week old audio is basic and I’d pay $35-$60/year just to show support because I do enjoy the app, but not because premium is worth it.
It seems like it would be a better move to pivot your marketing and present actual premium features to a paying audience. I’ll email y’all for sure!Show lessTeri Morgan

Hello, We truly appreciate your feedback. The app is currently losing a lot of money — we have no revenue but a lot of server costs and salaries to pay. If we don’t introduce paid features, we’ll have to shut down the app, which we want to avoid at all costs. You don’t have to subscribe; you’d just get more features from the paid subscription. If you don’t see the value in the premium features, you can continue using the app for free, and still receive a daily Cappuccino. We believe the paid option is a good way to go for both our users and the future of the app. We are currently working on an update to allow users to also access premium features by watching an advert, as well as new premium features. We would be sincerely happy to hear any other suggestions. Thank you very much for your message. Kind regards, The Cappuccino teamGreat Concept But Costs Too Much
This is such a cute app and great concept. The only drawback is the price. $5 a week and even $10 a month is too expensive. I recommend switching to a base free, no frills version that lets you join and create groups and a paid membership that gives access to exclusive backgrounds, music and stickers for reactions. Increasing the price of using the app to allow for more feature development doesn’t help its current users as much as prohibit new ones. Your app is great and I want to share it with more friends but the price point isn’t feasible for everyone. Please consider a free version that still allows us to send cappuccinos🙏Show lessKristen901

I will continue using it for now because it’s a great way for me and my long distance friend groups to keep up. I never minded the daily drop; we have a group chat for more urgent matters. However paying for history is really unfortunate because listening to memories is one of the best features. One of my friends just came back from vacation to find out she can’t listen to any of our past beans. I understand paying for everything else but give us our history back.
Plus, I would recommend revisiting your pay structure. $5 a week or $10 a month is a lot of money for an app that has pretty much one purpose that could be swapped with voice messages in a group chat. I would pay $30 a year.Show lesssmatthews_8

It would be stupid to pay $15 per month for this service when Disney+ is only $13 per month. I am happy to pay up to $7 per month for new premium features but to expect $15 by simply hiding old features behind a paywall is disgusting.GMango!$246

Have to pay for premium now to unlock messages early. Stupid update.Zander1818
Lost its spark
I mean it was cool at first, but the paywalls kinda take away from the whole experience from me. I would much rather have a bunch of ads than be told I can’t even listen to my own audio unless I buy a premium version??? Or that I can’t revisit my memories until I pay a monthly subscription???? It just takes a lot of fun out of it for me when everything I used to do for free now has a paywall up. I’d definitely still use to app if it had ads instead of a subscription based method but it’s not really something I care enough to pay for at the end of the day. Great app but only being able to make one recording one day and getting a 24 hour timer to listen to it rubbed me the wrong way 😕Show lessMasterblaster2648

Suddenly you have to pay !???
Been using the app for almost 300 days with my best friend and we really loved it but now everything is restricted and you have to pay premium in order to listen to older podcasts and more. No warning no nothing and now we have 1+ month worth of podcasts completely lost. Implementing premium is the worst thing they could do im so disappointed.Show lessEdit.LabLover
