Watch a video. We catch your real face. You post it. You earn reward points. Reacting is the most natural thing you do online — the laugh, the gasp, the shout at the screen. But sharing it always meant setting up the phone, acting it out again, and rerecording until it looked right. So nobody did. SceneApps removes the work. Just watch. Three taps: • Watch — Open a scene and start watching. • Ask — We ask first: the camera only runs when you say yes. • Review — See what we caught. Post it, or bin it. • Mention a friend by name mid-scene and we'll match their account — their phone buzzes to see what you said about them • Share scenes on WhatsApp, SMS, and X, or download with a watermark • Earn reward points for the reactions you post • Made in Africa, for everyone: speech recognition that understands names and accents everywhere Every clip is reviewed by you before it posts. You are always in control. Early access: SceneApps is young and still growing — things may break, and features are still being built. Your feedback decides what comes next. Watching is creating.
