Bubbl is a widget that shows live text feeds from your best friends, right to your Home Screen. You and your best friends will see each other's thoughts & statuses every time you unlock your phone. It’s a little glimpse of what everyone’s up to throughout the day. Think of a sticky note with something sweet written to your loved ones, hanged on the mirror, fridge or a desk. They see it whenever they pass by, but now, it’s directly on their home screen. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add the Bubbl widget to your Home Screen 2. When a friend sends you a custom note, it instantly appears on your Bubbl widget! 3. To share back, tap into the widget, create a new note with your own touch, and then hit send!
