It's fun and easy and cool. This app really hits the spot when it comes to social media. ### 5/5 — Povio will get big *2014-03-03, version 2.2.1* This app is headed in the right direction. Gorgeous interface, too. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-03-03, version 2.2.1* I've been having a lot of fun with this app. I'm really pleased with the new version! ### 5/5 — Communication Made Easy *2014-03-03, version 2.2.1* I have never been one to share many photos over other social media networks because of the anxiety of not knowing whether I would get any likes. But Povio fixed this problem for me. With this app I can let my friends know what I’m doing quickly and easily by sharing with them a photo from my point of view. ### 5/5 — Really dope app *2014-02-27, version 2.2.0* This is like hella good. I use it all day. Bout to blow up doe ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2014-02-22, version 2.2.0* Cool concept! Fun, New, and easy way to communicate ### 5/5 — Simple and Easy *2014-02-21, version 2.2.0* Very nice and simple design, easy on the eyes. Also easy to use :) ### 5/5 — Povio *2014-02-21, version 2.2.0* Really fun app, it makes keeping up with my friends very easy in a new creative way. I enjoy the aspect of not having to worry about how many likes i receive similar to Facebook and Instagram. ### 5/5 — Epic *2014-02-21, version 2.2.0* Convenient and fun way to keep in touch without texting. Favorite new app and easy to use! ### 5/5 — Addictive! *2014-02-07, version 2.1.4* Really lightweight way to share where you are visually with friends. Snapchat killer! ### 5/5 — A lot if fun. *2014-01-24, version 2.1.2* Nice "current status" imaging network app. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-01-09, version 2.0.6* It's really great for keeping in touch with friends! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Meh *2014-03-27, version 2.3.1* Interesting idea, mediocre execution. Another app made by a bunch of dudes who think it's cool to make a bot identity called "Miss Hotty" that pings you shortly after you sign up. Embarrassing. ### 1/5 — Clunky navigation, poor design *2014-02-13, version 2.1.4* Unintuitive navigation coupled with a clunky design that fails to consistently update the UI. The design does not lead the user along with how the app should work, and makes it nearly impossible to view what the user wants to view. For example, if I want to send a pov to 'bob', do I ping him, or take a picture and then touch his icon... What?!? Plus, no clearly defined way to specify who the image is going to. Clearly not ready for prime time, needs to be rethought. ### 1/5 — Slow keeps crashing *2014-02-06, version 2.1.4* Bad ### 1/5 — SUPPORT?!?! *2013-03-26, version 1.2.3* I've just lost all my friends frow "following" list and now I have 0 of them. I wanted to write this problem to some support or something...but they just don't have any support. ### 2/5 — Fun, but somewhat intrusive in friend recommendations *2014-04-01, version 2.3.2* The idea of POV pictures is neat - but I am turned off by the random female friend suggestions that show up. I assume that those users probably didn't know that their profiles were made available to me... If the app didn't have such an aggressive friend agenda, I'd probably like it more. ### 3/5 — Invite fb friends!! *2014-03-26, version 2.3.1* Dope concept, just need to be able to invite ppl from social networks. ### 4/5 — Awesome app, not so awesome new design *2014-02-21, version 2.2.0* Absolutely wonderful app. I use it every 5 minutes. The previous update was great. Smooth workflow, beautiful design, clean typography, everything great. The new update is from a design perspective a complete disaster. There's a lot of huge visual elements that are not essential for use. Also, the typography is changed in not very nice way. Otherwise, awesome app from idea to product itself. ### 5/5 — Quietly Fantastic *2023-09-03, version 3.1.0* Povio doesn't shout for attention, but it quietly excels at what it does. It's a well-kept secret among those who appreciate genuine connections. No frills, just a dependable way to keep in touch with your inner circle and also great for long-distance friendships. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-10-30* I love this app ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-04-27, version 2.3.4* This is a great app. On the rise ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lighting for photos on iOS doesn't adjust well *2014-04-20* I see great potential for this app. However, when I take a picture on iOS, the image doesn't brighten enough, especially not within the 3 seconds we have to take the picture. Consider looking into both image brightness and the camera timer as you continue to develop the app. Keep up the good work :) ### 5/5 — My new Goto app *2014-04-18, version 2.3.3* Much more private than the others, that's definitely the direction I want to go :) ### 5/5 — Pop *2014-03-27, version 2.3.1* Once you pop it. You really can't stop it. Sharing moments with photos, Something to say, That came up that way. What is important, you remember. Rest goes away. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-03-19, version 2.3.0* Very instant and easy to use ### 5/5 — This should be integrated into iOS! 👍 *2014-03-19, version 2.3.0* Funny, I don't even think about it, but I use pov.io daily. Not sure if they nailed it, or is it just because I've been using the app for so long that it became a pRt of my life. Responding to pov requests for me really became my daily rutine, it's a very "human friendly" process that doesn't take you me than 5 secs. The app does have a flaw - having more friends means more noise. Pov stream becomes painful to scroll if you've got many people you follow, and pinging all your friends becomes a chore you hate. Solution for me is to keep my friends list big enough to handle - so sorry, if I don't want to friend you. Otherwise, a very cool app! Keep up the good work pov.io team! ### 5/5 — Povio *2014-03-17, version 2.3.0* Epic and fun. The next big thing. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2014-03-15* This app is unique and an addictive way to let your friends know what you are up to. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
