Revolutionary
So unique and so refreshing such an incredible community and app. I love this thing, it’s saved me from wasting my days on all the other poisonous social medias
Refreshing
5 stars. This app is wonderful. It’s so nice to share thoughts with open minded people from around the world. I look forward to answering the prompt each morning and reading and commenting on everyone else’s if I chose to. There are some very funny people on this app but most of all everyone is so kind. There is no hateful arguing like you see on other social media sites. Just good old fashion fun!

App & concept problems
TLDR: The app has frustrating bugs with the user interface (scrolling, editing, notifications, account deletion, etc.). And conceptually, the concept is an uncomfortable attempt at forced intimacy with strangers.
Further discussion: The delete account button doesn't work. It took several emails to finally get confirmation that my account was deleted.
Quiver itself is time consuming without reciprocal benefit. The daily requests for personal info are invasive. Why would I reveal details about my daily life & childhood to strangers, and then read about theirs? To get a badge for daily use? This isn't therapy, but several of the daily prompts seemed triggering to at least a few users. Developing genuine connections is stymied by the lack of direct messages, so there's sharing without potential follow up.
This would probably work as a way to stay connected with friends & family. (And there are many of Nick Alfieri's inner circle on the app.) But I would rather work on strengthening connections with people already in my life than spending precious time sharing stories with strangers whom I'll never truly know.

Makes posting cool/fun again
Virtually every other social media site feels stale and I am unmotivated to post on it. The structure of quiver makes me excited to answer the prompt every day and see what my friends are saying as well. It’s such a psychological hack, so many people (including myself) want to share their thoughts, but don’t want to give it unsolicited. The universal prompt gives the push needed for everyone to participate in the discussion. I LOVE it

Quiver Hidden Treasure
The quiver app offers such a positive spin on social media. I look forward to the daily question/prompt knowing it will cause me to briefly slow down and reflect or think about a meaningful or sometimes humorous response without the influence of other people’s thoughts, opinions or experiences. It offers a truly enjoyable and thoughtful alternative to the rapid-pace, influence-oriented digital age we are bombarded with.
