App is literally the goat
Amazing app

Hi CRB! It might be because you tapped the 'send to multiple' row selected? If not it might be a bug we need to investigate! We are always looking for ways to feel safer, so please email us recommendations!
Thoughts and questions
I like this app, I’ve only had it for a few days. One thing I don’t get is the random texts which are invites, but I’d like to know who invited me considering I know all the names of people at school. It would be much safer and much more reassuring to those getting those messages.
The in-app things are very fun though.
I took one star off because I felt like the way I was able to get this app was strange. My school was listed on it and it was heavy on me asking information. Nothing so far has happened and as far as I know with my research hasn’t happened to anyone either.
I just think marketing the text messages in a different way so the messages don’t look weird or fishy, especially since it’s an actual app and not a weird link.
Thanks!

Hi TB! Great recommendation. We will look to add names to the text messages! It would definitely feel safer. We need to balance that between the complimenter, because they might not want to be revealed. We take data security VERY seriously and will never sell the data. Email us for any other recommendations! We are always looking for ways to build more trust.

LOVE ITTT
CREEPY, DO NOT DOWNLOAD
screen without sharing MY ENTIRE PHONE CONTACT LIST with some random company with “AI” in its name. This entire app should SCREAM to anybody with an ounce of digital literacy that it should not be trusted. This goes without saying: this app should immediately be removed from the app store for a privacy and safety concern.

Hi! We’re sorry to hear about your experience and wanted to clarify a few things. First, sharing your contacts is completely optional. You can use Valid without granting access to your contacts. Second, Valid helps students connect with classmates through positive compliments. We take privacy very seriously, and do not buy or sell data. Invitations are initiated by users who individually select who they want to invite, rather than automatically messaging everyone in their contacts. A friend tapped the “invite” button, which is why you got a text with your school in it. We appreciate your feedback and are always working to make Valid a better, safer experience for everyone.
