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?
