Unsure if its dead, but hasn’t been updated in some time
A couple friends recommended I try cocoon in place of FB/WA/Vero. I really enjoy the privacy and control, but am concerned because I’m not able to upgrade to the paid membership anywhere and it doesn’t seem like this app has been updated in over a year.
Super bummed, hope Cocoon wasn’t abandoned after their Substack acquisition.

Abandonware, sadly
This had so much potential, but the entire dev team got acquired and there hasn’t been an update in months, and it’s impossible to coax people into something with no future. If someone else would take it up, it’s a five star app - particularly loved the flight status sharing.
Great app but no longer supported
My family started using this app during the pandemic to keep in touch; it’s really great. However, it is seemingly no longer supported — the team was acquired by another company and even though the announcement said this app would continue “independently”, the help center link is broken and their contact email address returns as undeliverable. (I discovered this when my dad got a new phone and could no longer find the app on the Play store.) Really disappointing that they aren’t more upfront about the lack of continued support — and it seems borderline unethical to charge people a subscription too! We don’t pay for a subscription but like, don’t give people the option to pay monthly for your app if you’re not going to continue supporting it, that’s just gross. My family will be finding a different app, sadly.

Will this project continue?
Cocoon seems ok, just want to know if you plan on continuing the project or if it will die in a couple years? I don’t want to waste my time to get family and friends involved if it’s just going to disappear, but it’s the best thing I have seen so far.
Superb idea and app with one new problem
Love using this app with my family. It’s our go to app and allows us to enjoy communicating fun photos and news items and saving iMessage for urgent matters only. BUT some bug has surfaced and we can no longer use the Apple share option to share an item without an error. Now we have to copy/paste after opening the app. Way more time consuming and is taking the fun out of sharing. Hope this can be fixed soon.
