Roomy is a link page you can walk into. You get one small 3D room and one address, roo.my/@yourname. Every link is a thing in the room: the TV opens your YouTube, the record player your Spotify, the mailbox your email. Any thing can open any link. Visitors look around and tap what they want. They don't need the app, your room opens in any browser. The links are also in a plain list under the room. In the app you can: - Move, turn and recolour the things in your room - Hang your own photos in the frames - Put a link on anything - See how many people visited and what they opened - Read messages and gifts people leave you - Get a notification when someone knocks, writes, tips you or sends a gift Your room, your address and your links are free. Some extra things for your room cost coins. You earn coins, you can't buy them. You can report a room or a message and block a person from inside the app. You can delete your account in Settings. Roomy is for people 13 and older.
