Throwback by Loop vs QuickTales

Throwback is your new weekly dose of nostalgia. Are you tired of the same old Instagram feed filled with influencers and their #sponsored posts? Well, Throwback is here to take you back to a simpler time when the only thing you had to worry about was what to wear to your friend's Sweet 16. But here's the catch: Throwback is only open for business on Thursdays. Not kidding. If you're looking for more daily doom scrolling, look elsewhere. Don't worry, the rest of the week you can still add friends, and even send your friends uplifting 'Boosts' (anonymous push notifications to brighten their day!). Each Thursday, we give you a new prompt to take you down memory lane and post pictures of your childhood, those awkward teenage years, or that one time you wore overalls unironically. With Throwback, you'll finally have an excuse to dig through your old photo albums and relive the good old days. So, mark your calendars and get ready to throw it back with us every Thursday. (But don't blame us if your mom starts calling you more often because you're posting pictures of her haircuts from the 90s.) ---------- App made by humans who are always looking for feedback (follow us on Twitter @loopsocialinc), description made by AI which doesn't much care, don't @ us if it's cheesy.

Easily record, share, and listen to meaningful stories. A QuickTale is a short audio story attached to a photo about a person, place, thing or captured moment. LISTEN Hear meaningful short stories about what is right in front of you, or photos of anything, anywhere. TELL Record your own stories as easy as leaving a voicemail. SHARE Post your QuickTales to family and friends in private groups, or everyone publicly. Then listen to their Audio Reactions. PRESERVE Easily access those stories now and in the future. Preserve your memories all within the QuickTales app. WATCH YOUR WORLD, NOT YOUR PHONE Stay engaged with your surroundings. QuickTales utilizes geolocation, so you can listen to stories about things near you without having to look at your phone to read text or watch a video. And no QR codes needed. QUICK TO CREATE You can quickly and easily create QuickTales. 1. Take a picture or select a photo from your phone. 2. Record a short audio story (typically 1-3 minutes or less). 3. Share it with just a tap. AUDIO REACTIONS Audio Reactions are short audio comments (under 30 seconds) that convey true emotion better than text or emojis. You can leave your own reactions to QuickTales that are shared with you, and hear reactions to QuickTales you share with others. QUICKTALE EXAMPLES - Photos - tell and share a QuickTale about that special place, event, or moment in time - Possessions - tell and share meaningful stories about family heirlooms, artwork, souvenirs - Collections - tell the background stories behind your collectables - Museums, Galleries - hear audio tours from the artist or expert about exhibits you are viewing - Parks - hear stories of natural wonders - Places of Interest - hear sightseeing stories while watching your surroundings…not your phone - Products, Brands - hear background stories about your favorite products and brands Everything has a story worth telling. What will your first story be?
