Leave a Review Lapse
love it, but def needs some fixing…
let me say, i absolutely love this app. as other reviews have stated, it has all the great parts of an actually disposable camera (super cute pics you can wait to look at) and all the fun of social media. i find myself actually going on this app multiple times a day and feeling little to no pressure to pretend, just capture fun and small moments and see those of my friends.
now, onto the bad… i absolutely hated the onboarding process. the videos were unnecessarily long and having to invite five people was honestly kind of annoying (however, i do understand it’s the creator’s way of increasing users), but it’s definitely a turn off.
i’m not sure if this app is here to stay, but i love the concept of it so far and absolutely LOVE that there are no ads. hoping it doesn’t turn into an Instagram wanna-beShow less💃💁😜🙈👌✋
Cool but counterintuitive
If Instagram and VSCO had a baby, it would be this app. Cool in theory, but seems like just another platform to make Gen Z people feel retro because their photos on their iPhone 15’s have filters on them. Interesting concept, though. I liked the intro video, but I hated that I had to invite a multitude of people given that it is only in development. Also didn’t like how I couldn’t block or restrict other users, but I get that maybe that feature isn’t available yet. I would say I would have downloaded it again once that feature was developed, however, cant since I can’t even use my number anymore🙃 That’s an ultimatum that doesn’t make much sense. For the amount of people you have to recruit to the app to actually make your own account, most of them will end up deleting it within day just to never be able to use it again. Counterintuitive, IMO. Fix that and maybe you’ll get people back.Show lesseeonyee
Tedious but worth it
The sign up process is for exposure for the app it’s great marketing!! The app is amazing and I’m glad it’s being pushed so many people I know are now on lapse!!Fkxityostooysxoyxgdyp
Poor Execution
Cute twist on BeReal and Snapchat and Dispo all in one.
But the process to use the app is awful and so annoying. They make it extremely difficult to sign up with low commitment, you MUST add contacts or if not you MUST invite 5 friends to the app (for the beta version?). You MUST choose a profile photo. Sometimes you can skip, but it was so hard to find the option. Now I get a notification every time my friends post something, and it’s WAY more than once a day like BeReal. You can’t change the notification settings in the app. Taking pics and posting them is also confusing. I accidentally DM’ed a pic instead of posting it.
It’s not fun when everything is forced upon me. If it was naturally inviting I would have probably loved this app. Getting into it was a turn offShow lessleilahaf
Very very fun :3
I hate taking pictures because the second I take them I find like 30 defects, with this I just stopped caring and it’s sm fun to take pics w the app!!!derryy <33
Cool concept but some bugs
Set up was a bit of a hassle long intros and fancy transitions when I just wanted to get to using the app already. Didn’t really like how we had to invite 5 people by messaging them in order to use the app.
After a couple of days of using the app, the camera stopped working. Everything else like getting notifications and looking at other people’s posts worked fine but the camera just showed black for me. My normal camera worked fine. I even uninstalled the app completely and it still wasn’t working until I restarted my phone. Hopefully the issue doesn’t happen again because I missed some important moments where I wanted to capture on this app.Show lessRockstar969
An amazing app!!
I really do love the concept of this app. I would have never even gotten it in the first place if my friend hadn’t snapped me abt it and then invited me. It is a really great app and I hope it outweighs BeReal 😈 bc let’s be honest this app provides a more “in the moment” capture unlike be real where you have to quickly take a photo when it wants you to, and only have 2 mins to do so. what I’m saying is I like that this app provides a comfortable platform where you can enjoy yourself, and I really love it and hope it becomes something SUPER popular like TikTok and stuff :DShow lessannaqueen<3
Pretty great so far
I really like this app because it allows me to take such pretty pictures with no effort in trying to find an app with good filters. This is also the first social media that I have downloaded that doesn't affect my mental health or cause me to get addicted, so I like that a lot. The only reason I am giving the app 4 stars is because of the sign up process. It was so long and annoying to go through. I also know that this app is pretty new and many more features are on the way. I feel like once we get these new features then this app can be a 5 star app.Show lessaclary26
Obvious Data Grabber
This app is so clearly a data grab, it suggested people for me to add that I ONLY have on other apps (where I don't have their number and they don't have mine). People I have only discord for example. There is literally no way for lapse to know I know the people it suggested to me based on my contacts alone, because they aren't saved as contacts and I know for a fact that the people don't have my contact saved either. Incredibly suspicious app. I was also added by people who only have me on an app but don't have my phone number so I'm 100% sure Lapse accesses more than it says it does.
Also- what kind of app doesn't give users the ability to disable notifications? That's one of the most basic setting configurations social media apps have.Show lessأم عمارة
Snapchat + BeReal but better?
This app is kinda takes the best of both apps and makes them into a cool way to share memories with friends and for yourself. I’ll definitely be using this over snap memories for the time being!SaihaanSelim
