Povio enables you to start communicating with friends in the most comfortable way. GENUINE Do you want to know what your friends are doing, where they’re hanging RIGHT NOW? Ping them and get their real-time point of view (POV) photo in an instant! They can then ping you back. Despite being in different places, you will feel close to them at all times. LIGHT You won’t get lost in a photo feed with a gazillion posts. All photos vanish after 24 hours. No gallery and no profiles mean no clutter. SOCIAL You can smoothly exchange private comments on interesting POV’s. And don’t worry - your photo is safe with us. Only your Povio friends get to see it. And if some POV’s are only suitable for a select friend(s) - take a private POV. Share your life without the vanity of popular photo-sharing apps because what you do at any given moment makes you unique and interesting. PING!
