I don't hate the app really.. I just kinda hate the culture that produces this app. Am I just getting old?

To be clear, the culture that's producing this app is people trying every permutation possible for app ideas, throwing them out with cliche landing pages, and marketing them on channels like this or Reddit or Product Hunt.

I think there is a 0% chance that the creator is actually a partier who needed this and so he built it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No technology prevents a 3rd phone from taking a picture of the screen of a different phone.

You could try blinking different parts of the image on and off really fast.

Video then. You can't defeat the analog hole.

It's explained in their FAQ: the only information they ask from you to register is your phone number.

Are there any free emails that work without requiring a cell #?

Like: http://www.anonymbox.com/ ?

Sure, and if the provider insists and you don't want, just provide a fake tel number...

They call/text to confirm.

Anyone else wondering why you don't just physically show ppl the pictures if you are in the same location as them?

The idea is that you can only access the pictures if everyone of the group is physically present. Sort of how multiple people need to turn a key at the same time to launch a nuclear missile.

The two cultures are terrible.
