Nudge is a fun little photo app with a different spin, on Nudge you control when your friend takes a photo. Send your friend a nudge and get back a photo of what they are up to. Tips for young nudgers: - There is no launch camera button on Nudge, the camera only launches when a friend first nudges you. - Be quick! Nudges expire so snap that photo before time runs out. There is lots more to discover about Nudge but we won't tell you everything for that is for us to know and you to find out. Enjoy!
