Touchies are for everyone! Who do you want to connect with, impress or delight with a message that actually reacts to them touching? Memes you can touch, interactive greeting cards - what else can you imagine creating? Put more fun into a message with an experience that reacts to touch. Touchgram lets you create truly interactive messages. Touchgrams respond differently depending on where and how you touch them. Each message is as unique as you want to make them. Within a single message, make one or many pages that respond to taps, swipes, tickles or stroking the screen. Record sounds and images to react with different visual effects. Build an entire story, dazzle friends with your creativity or fiendish puzzles. If friends don't already have Touchgram installed, just send them one. iMessage makes things easy: the first message they receive will include a download link right within the message bubble. Save touchgrams to Favorites and “Edit" to see how they work, to remix.
