Mourad here, co founder of Tricy! Very pleased to be featured on PH today 🙌
We are 4 french guys, who love tech and apps. Few month ago we left our jobs and started the Tricy adventure. We wanted to build a fun product that brings people together. Inspired by great products like Instagram, Cluster and Tribe, we believe that photos are the best way to do that.
As has well described Fred, Tricy is about connecting with your friends wherever they are. No more « What’s up? Where are you? » by text or messenger, with just a tap, you can trigger a photo on your friends’ phones and see what everyone is doing right now!
We are looking forward to read your feedback, critics or ideas. It’s really important to us. By the way, if you want to become a beta tester, get in touch with me at: m@tricy.io
If you try our app but found zero friend on Tricy, add me (username: tawak)!
I’ll be happy to be your friend and take photos with you across the globe 📷
Cheers
@tawak_m I really like the simplicity of the app. I can see it being an effective anti-FOMO tool for friends.
Do you see the product evolving to a point where users would have the ability to charge a small fee to access new filters, stickers?
Thank you @lucchaissac we are working hard to make Tricy better every day.
You can already add stickers. For free!
Swipe before taking a photo and you’ll see the stickers available (iPhone only… sorry 😞).
I’m just about to add a Product Hunt Special sticker 😛
Stay tuned!
By the way, add me on Tricy 📷 (search: tawak)
I'm a Tricy user for a couple of weeks and I may admit that's it's fun! The app is well designed. But here are the two main issues:
1. To take a shot, you need your friend online: your friend will get a notification to connect on Tricy, but most of the time, I am just waiting for 15 seconds and then I quit. To play with a goup of friends, seems almost impossible to get them all online at the same time!
2. Tricy promise to answer the question " What’s up? Where are you?", but most of the time you just get the nose of your friend in the middle of a shot and you cannot say where is he located, what is he doing, etc.
Hi @emmanueldarmon thank you for your feedback.
This issues are well known here and we are building some adjustments to fix them.
We are considering allowing friends who missed the shot to participate later by posting a photo in the comments. Also we are thinking about a « Planned shots » feature a.k.a shots that you can schedule. Tricy would send you reminders (push) few minutes before the zero hour :)

Love this idea, really simple. Invite friends, start a countdown and everyone takes a picture together - the app then puts these photos together. I'd be interested to hear from the makers what the go-to-market strategy is and how they get friends on board.
