WISHEW is the social network for who you’re becoming. Most social platforms are built around what gets attention. WISHEW is built around where you’re going. Start with a Goal — something you want to achieve, build, change, or become. Put it out there, honestly, and share your Moves along the way: the small moments of Progress, the Milestones that matter, and the Obstacles that can feel like anything but progress. Your Moves build a Journey. Not a feed of finished moments, but a living, unfiltered record of who you’re becoming — one Move at a time. A Journey the community can follow, support, and help you move forward through. Need something along the way? Add to your Move what you’re looking for — advice, skills, motivation, contacts, funds, or anything that could help you get unstuck and take the next step. And when you can help someone else, step in. Share what you know, offer support, open a door. Every bit of help that moves someone forward earns you Reputation Points — a credibility system built on what you actually do for other people, not on how many followers you have. Download WISHEW and make your next Move.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rex at 5.0 against Wishew's 4.1. Rex also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). Wishew's advantage is ratings volume (144 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.7 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
