Mask is an anonymous group messaging app where buildings and entire cities become chatrooms. In these chatrooms, users can chat with each other and eventually take their "mask" off by revealing their identity to newly-made connections. FEATURES: - Group chats and direct messages with anyone in the same building or city as you. - If place-based messaging isn't your thing, fallback to standard messaging and start conversations with people you know from anywhere in the world. - Reveal up to five aspects of your identity -- first name, last name, photo, email and/or phone number -- to specific users you meet and would like to know more about. Special thanks to icons8.com for several icons used within the app.
