Send custom hologram messages to friends and family and appear right in their home. Share your holograms from the app and the recipient gets the message with the full AR experience. Try the HoloBot theme and beam your message just like the rebels did a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... Wishing someone Happy Birthday? Use the birthday theme and your hologram will include dancing presents and balloons! Unlike other message apps, Reflo uses the video you capture and makes it appear in the room along with your selected theme. Record your child singing Happy Birthday with Reflo, then share it and they will see them singing right in the room with them. Through the magic of Augmented Reality (AR), connect with friends and family in a new and exciting way. Reflo makes sharing easy. Using a text, or your favorite messaging service, share a hologram with your friends and family, all from within the app. Privacy is important for these kinds of memories, so all Reflo holograms are shared privately, and you are always in control of who has access. Simply remove someone from the share list and your hologram message will be removed from their list. Reflo is free to download, and includes one theme for free. Additional themes are available through a subscription to Reflo Premium. Reflo premium will also fund future development of themes and features.
