About

Ripple

Features
Read full description

Ripple is a quiet widget app for staying close without chat or pressure to reply. Share a simple status or note and let it appear right on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Your latest update is always easy to see — calm, lightweight, and already there when someone unlocks their phone. Use Ripple to: • Share simple notes without starting a conversation • Set your current status, like working, resting, out, or busy • See updates through Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Personalize widgets with custom backgrounds and photos Ripple uses iCloud for private sharing between Apple devices. Everyone needs an iPhone or iPad with iCloud enabled to create or follow shared spaces. Widget updates follow iOS system scheduling and may not appear instantly. Ripple is designed for low-pressure sharing, not real-time messaging. There are no read receipts, typing indicators, online status, or activity pressure. Stay close, without the noise.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JoyTell at none against Ripple's 1. JoyTell also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
