Hi Product Hunters,
We're excited to introduce you to Cinch, our newest iPhone app. Cinch is an image-based polling app that make decisions between you and your friends fun, easy, and visual.
The way it works should be familiar, but surprisingly simple. You select a set of photos or screenshots from your camera roll, set the question, and send to a select group of friends from your contacts. Friends vote in a single tap and then use the integrated messaging service to discuss the results and attach alternatives. You don't need the app to vote, so anyone can vote from any device. The vote tally is revealed only after the user votes to make sure your loudest friends don't influence the group.
What inspired Cinch? We built Cinch after seeing people use our original product, Nifti, to poll their friends about whether or not they should act on a price alerts. We weren't serving this use case well, and the more we dug into the problem, the more we realized how annoying the process of gathering opinions is for most people. There’s nothing fun or easy about emailing endless lists of links, texting photos one-by-one, and then synthesizing your friends' responses.
We're super excited about it, in part because we can already see how useful is to our team in testing mobile UIs and tag lines.
