Zzzap is for the decisions you don't want to make alone. Which offer do I take? Which couch? Which name for the dog? Send a zzzap to the people whose opinions you actually trust, and watch a real answer come together in minutes. Votes land live, the clock keeps things moving, and when it's done, it's decided. No feed. No likes. No strangers. Zzzap is not a social network. The only people who see your zzzaps are the people you send them to, and the only people who can reach you are people you follow. Your circles stay yours. HOW IT WORKS • Ask anything: two to four options, a time limit, and the people you choose • Vote right from the notification: see it, tap your answer, done, without opening the app • Watch results live: every vote lands in real time • Strikes decide, Storms brainstorm: when you need ideas instead of votes, a Storm collects write-in answers from your people • Circles: build groups for family, work, or your crew so the right people are one tap away • Invite your people: share a link or your QR code and you're connected • Send later or end at a set time: schedule a zzzap, or pick exactly when voting closes • Private zzzaps: for the questions you'd rather keep between you • Made for iPhone Duo: works beautifully folded or open ZZZAP POWER Go further with photo zzzaps, open ballots, tiebreakers, more circles, and up to 100 recipients per zzzap. $4.99/month or $19.99/year, and new yearly subscribers get their first year for $9.99. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled in your Apple ID settings. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. Zzzap is free to use: unlimited zzzaps to up to 15 people at a time, only seen by the people you send them to, and no ads.
