Add videos and audios

I like it though but it can be better… it’s quite plain right now if you guys add videos and audios it’d make it so much better(free version) not as a premium. It should be offered you’d get more reviews bigger audiences

Response:

I actually think it wouldn’t be like Snapchat at all. We’ve been using this app as a way to show each other photos and leave each other messages without the need to directly message one another between a friend and I. Also broke that awkward ice or wanting to say something without the pressure of a text, especially if it was more sentimental. It’s private, we can go about our day and still update each other. I found it useful when I had graduated and couldn’t spend time with them from my schedule. It was easy, still allowed connection, and the widget always felt like a message than a “post”. It wasn’t an album which wouldve been a hassle, it wasn’t like BeReal where there’s not as much privacy (still similar) but yet somewhat completely different and unique. This app stands out because you can’t find another for it. I have Snapchat and to be frank, I rather this.

My reason behind saying this is because I think adding videos and audios would make it even more personal. Sometimes pictures don’t capture everything a short clip, a voice note, can make it feel more alive, like you’re really sharing a moment instead of just an image. It would also make it feel more interactive without breaking that quiet, simple connection the app already has. Which was the point (for the pair audience).

What I really love is that it doesn’t pressure you to “perform” the way social media does. It’s not about likes, streaks, or filters just genuine updates that feel intentional. Even when life gets busy, it’s a small, meaningful way to stay in touch. It got me through high school and after that to maintain my bond with my friend when we were separate. I’m 21 now and it was honestly the only way we are able to have gotten closer now. And I remember wishing that we could leave voice messages to upload, or videos. That’s one thing where it felt very limited in. Unfortunately there are no similar apps like this so I thought to just suggest it. Unlike some people I actually like that the story disappears. I’m sure some people are also using it for their partners which makes them feel more secure in the privacy.

Love this App

I primarily use this app to send photos between my gf and I. It’s wonderful! I haven’t tried the group option but I’m optimistic for sure!

Premium subscription

I downloaded the app and it immediately said that I had subscribed to the premium version when I hadn't. I tried to contact support but no one replied. I haven't paid yet, but I'm afraid I'll have to in the future. Does this problem occur frequently?

No photo history

This app would be even more incredible if it saved photo history and cycled through the photo history. My family (only the ones with iPhones, maybe an android update in the future?) uses this app more than regular social media apps. But we’d use it sooo much more if it saved the photo history.

Please please please! Thank you!

👍

i got to talk to my best friend again

Great app!

I love that app 🥰! It is a great way to share photos with family/friends

Doesn’t save photo history

My biggest fault with this app is the fact that it only saves photo history for up to 24 hours. This makes it unusable as a way to save memories. If facilitating the sharing of memories, why would it not save these memories too? Other apps like similar to Ekko have a “history” feature, and for this reason alone, I would prefer to use them. If a photo history feature was added, I would re-download.

CULT

I LOVE THIS FOR MY CULT. 10/10 would recommend!

This is the first review I’ve EVER WRITTEN

Ive had an iPhone for over 10 years, never have I written a review, until this app. What a botched, butchered app. I don’t even know where to begin because this app is a complete mess. There’s not even a “help” button on this app to guide you how to figure this out.

I want to share a widget with ONE person, they take a pic, it ends up on their phone, with nothing on mine, I take a pic, it ends up on my phone and not there’s. The group names keep changing themselves on both of our ends without either of us doing anything. The groups are duplicating themselves, photos are duplicating themselves, once you open the widget, it opens photos back to back to back and then goes to the home ekko screen. This app is nothing but a train wreck, it should NOT be this complicTed to just send a single photo

Fun but not fully functional

This app is a really great way to share images, but one issue I have is that it does not allow me to see the comments on the latest pictures I upload. I can only see them after there is a new picture in its place. This defeats the purpose of the comment feature in my opinion.

great

love this app, would be a really nice feature to have a history of the photos sent for memories if this could be added

Unable to sign up

I am not even able to sign up with Apple and that is the only option. Please fix asap

Disappearing Photos!

Our family wanted an app to share photos, but we can’t use an app where the photos disappear after 24 hours! That’s some kind of Orestes joke! Please, do t make the photos disappear!!!

Love this app

Such a fun idea! Living far away from friends and family this is a great way to feel connected and keep up to date on fun moments from their lives. User friendly too!

So cute

Mainly used to send cute pics of our dog back and forth each day 😂 brings a smile to my face every time

Brilliant idea

I like the concept and the app itself is well made, good job 👏

Amazing app!

Fun way to share pictures with my friends!

Fun and easy to use

Great way of keeping close with my friends through “unprecedented times”. Even though we’re not seeing each other as much it keeps us all amused
