#1 in the App Store charts 📸 — another go at the ephemeral camera app! That's the beauty of targeting a younger demographic — they have no awareness of the dozens of previous attempts at this product category! 😜

This app has the most aggressive onboarding I've ever experienced (hence why it hit the top of the App Store). After spending ~5 mins signing up, it forces you to invite 5 friends before getting access. Respect, but also kind of frustrating.

@rrhoover haha this onboarding is on another level for real. Twelve minutes in and 60 intro screens later it's still going strong. After taking a nap while the welcome feature film was playing, I woke up rested and hopeful. Then I realized it resembling a bad first date turned unusual hostage situation: impossible to get to know for the first 2 hours, only to demand I introduce all of my friends before she was willing to have a normal conversation. But yes – Lapse, congrats on creating the IronMan of onboarding. Respect (seriously ◡̈ ) in that when someone makes it to the OtherSide™ you've already gotten some built-in loyalty. I'm thankful some of my friends are endurance athletes because maybe they'll just invite me and I can start using the app. Unless all must climb the Lapse Everest in order to use it 🏔️ TBD. (Lapse, this really does look great!)

All my friends seem to have it except me since I'm an android user. Wish products didn't pressure folks into succumbing to the apple cult </3. Looks super fun though
