  • Easier to get a donor kidney than sign up

    The sign up was so tedious that I deleted the app before I was finished. Cool concept but awful execution.
  • Exciting

    Instagram is dying and I hate posting on there. Really just hate getting on any social media. So right from the beginning when they introduced the feel and purpose when I got the app it got me really excited. I don’t think the set up process is too long. It’s not that big of a deal. It has to be longer than other apps to be more personal and meaningful. I’m excited to see where this goes. Also love the music feature and cute emojis you can put with your profile picture. It’s fun, new, aesthetic, and intimate. Just like how instagram was when it first came out. And how social media should be. It’s still new to me and I haven’t gotten many friends yet so it’s still a 4/5 stars for that reason.
    Glad we are moving on and creating better forms of social media🥰 Thank you to the creators for being creative and putting so much effort into this

  • So much fun!!

    A refreshing app with a new concept! Feel like I’m using an actual camera when I’m snapping random pictures throughout the day, waiting eagerly to see how they develop!!!

    My only complaint is that it’s a litttttle confusing and the software isn’t the easiest to navigate.
    Hoping with time and further development, these small issues will be fixed. Looking forward to seeing this little community skyrocket!

  • Can’t Login?

    I was super excited to get this app since my friend hyped it up and invited me to it. However, I couldn’t make an account from my phone so i decided to make it from my ipad, which worked thought it’s the same phone number. I thought I could make it from my ipad and then just login from my phone however it hasn’t worked for about a week. I’ve deleted the app and redownloaded it, powered my phone on and off, and even tried on both wifi and data but nothing seems to work. Anytime I enter my number on my phone it just doesn’t load but on my ipad it loads instantly. I’ve also checked and my phone is completely updated too I was really looking forward to using this app however there’s no way for me to have it with me on my phone.

  • Weird needy pyramid scheme-esque app????

    Completely agree with the other reviews criticizing how many steps there are to get into the app. It asks you for a bunch of information and accessibility, like to access contacts and your phone number to send a code, which would be normal and fine if it actually sent a code. After retrying later and being able to get past this step, it then tells me I’m “almost there! just have to invite FIVE other friends to the app!😉😉😉”. Such a slimy barrier to put before being able to access the app, because for your friend to then be able to join the app, they would have to invite FIVE of their friends… Free advertising in the form of a pyramid scheme, how smart! (i don’t think you could invite friends that were already on the app either) Deleted the app after seeing this ridiculous requirement, I’m not going to harass my friends so I can have another social media. Cool idea maybe, but the whole thing seems very holier-than-thou high on itself.

  • scam😭😭😭😭😭

    once you download the app, it preliminarily makes an account for you, but without inviting at least 5 friends (you have to text 5 people who don’t have the app), you are unable to continue in the app, but you are also unable to delete your profile, and it will just exist forever and show up for anyone to see until you text 5 people a link for the app;;; also the app itself is kind of confusing and vague and seems to take itself way too seriously like they literally think they’re the next big thing in social media but it also so obviously is just a combination of marketing tools to try to get you to open the app as many times as possible LIKE JUST LET ME DELETE MY PROFILE YO I DONT WANNA TEXT 5 PPL😭😭😭😭😭😭

  • Horrible UI Design, hard to use

    I couldn’t get through setting up this app without getting angry at it every 30 seconds. It forces you to connect your phone number AND contacts? I wouldn’t be surprised if I got hacked from this thing. And it takes a solid 10 minutes to set up, no app with this simple of a concept needs that long of an intro sequence. It forced you to add 8 friends or invite 4 so you have to bother your friends with the links before even setting up the app fully. Why would I recommend an app to my friends I haven’t personally used? This is a huge disappointment. Fix the privacy issues and make it easier to use. No way this app will be on the market longer than 6 months at this rate.

  • BEST APP EVER!

    This is my new favourite app! I am never buying a disposable camera again!
  • Pyramid Scheme + Data Grab

    My friends have sent me multiple invites and I thought that was cute and a good concept. HOWEVER— I then downloaded the app and it immediately asked for my phone number (the first major red flag, because there was no option to skip).

    Then, I read some articles about this app. In order to use it you have to friend 3 people who have the app, and then invite 5 people. It’s a pyramid scheme. By inviting 5 people you are giving this app your friends phone numbers.

    It’s not even optional. It’s a must do in order to use this app. The creators of the app also claim that the app just “got popular”— no, no it didn’t. It’s a slimy back-way of getting more people through a scheme and then collecting they’re data.

  • Sign up is too complicated

    I love the idea of this app, but the sign up, pop-ups, steps… it’s just too much. I had ZERO energy to actually use the app after the sign up process. I have numerous friends that won’t even try it when I invited them because they heard the sign up process was too long. I got done with signing up after being forced to add 8 friends (who idk how I would add them because none of the people I would add have Lapse because it’s so new (so that makes 0 sense to have that as a sign up requirement)), add photos, invite friends, and more. The intro, unnecessarily long & as a creative, I get that people worked hard on it, but it needs to be like 3 seconds long or you lose people. Just please make this user friendly. You have way too much competition with other social media platforms and ‘film’ apps to have something this annoying to sign up for.
