• Shoot. Post. FLOWK. • It really is that simple to start having fun. And who the flowk doesn’t like having fun? • Flowk is a new social network built around short videos created for one purpose: collaboration. So, what is a flowk? Flowks are chains of content where each video plays off the one before it. It can be a continuation of a dance, the passing of a ball, trick shots, or any activity at any time and with anyone anywhere. That was a word sandwich, but hopefully you get the picture. A flowk could also be built around a theme. Post your favorite beach walk and invite users to flowk their favorite walks. Create a virtual fashion show where users flowk together their OOTDs. Tbh, we don’t even know the creative potential, so go blow our minds, grow your flowks, and find your content on the daily leaderboard. • What they’re saying: “Wow” “Exciting!” “New!” “Fresh!” “Flowk reinvented the wheel!” “I want pizza!” “...What?” • FEED o Content scrolls from the LEFT to the RIGHT (or R to L if you’re a rebel). And why wouldn’t it when videos are meant to play together! • FULLSCREEN o TAP content you want to view to bring it fullscreen. You can let the flowk chain play, tap through to move it along faster, or scroll through to certain users. Then tap the feather and join the flowk. Or don’t. Up to you. Head back to the feed and see what else is out there. • SHOOT o Shoot a video on the app or upload one from your device to either start a flowk or join one. Interaction is the ultimate satisfaction. • TOP o TAP the Top icon to see the day’s most Flowked content. Maybe it’ll be yours! Or maybe tomorrow...or the next day...or the next. We believe in you. • PROFILE o Create your profile. Write a bio. Add a pic. See the flowks you started and the flowks you’ve joined. Find friends because we all just need some friends in our lives. • Let’s Flowk!
