Social media has shifted these days – it’s not about sharing posts or posting updates about your life, it’s more about showing off your pictures.
Most of the time, this is done through apps like Snapchat, wherein you send short lived pictures to your friends and swap updates about your life. However, if you decide to take that friendship to the next level and actually call them, you’ll be greeted by the same old boring picture you have saved under your contacts.
Well, now there’s something different.
Flash is an app that lets you assign pictures to your profile, so that when you contact once another through the app, your friends will see your chosen picture when they message or call you.
Instead of having to send pictures constantly to one another, you can now set those pictures to be your profile’s cover, surprising your friends with your latest life change.
Flash is designed to be an easy to use app that takes the place of other social media apps on your phone.[sc name=”quote” text=”Flash is designed to be an easy to use app that takes the place of other social media apps on your phone.”]
No longer will you have to constantly think of new photos to send to one another for the purpose of keeping conversation going; now, your photos itself can be the subject of the conversation, as you surprise them with the newest details of your life, or perhaps your change of scenary.
Many apps try to break into the world of social media, offering a multitude of features in unique and interesting ways, but many of them fall flat before they can really get started.
Flash seeks to break its way into this world, offering its services for free and allowing for the same functionality that many other apps have, but with the added bonus of more unique customization with your photos.
Not only can you edit and manipulate your photos, you can assign text and filters in a similar manner to Snapchat, all in an effort to create a unique identify for when your friends contact you.
The app syncs itself with your contacts, making it easy for you to simply take your contacts and friends and bring them over to the app.[sc name=”quote” text=”The app syncs itself with your contacts, making it easy for you to simply take your contacts and friends and bring them over to the apps.”]
Flash is an app that is trying to do something very difficult – break into the already established world of social media. It offers bright colors, a simplistic design and an easy to use interface, not to mention its unique selling point, the ability to surprise your friends with new photos.
The functionality is pretty similar to other apps, but the team behind Flash are trying to offer something different, something new; for this they should be commended. It’s not easy to try and break into their world, so give Flash a try and see if you like it.
Who knows, you might prefer it over other apps.
