Cool UI/UX. However, I'm wondering, instead of connecting to a central server, is there apps do pure peer to peer sharing, possibly by relaying thru bluetooth when internet is down?

What do you do with the users' location history on the server side? (Obviously you see it to be able to know who to send push notifications to...) Is it stored? Logged inadvertently? Intentionally archived? Intentionally purged?
We don’t store users location history. User's device only sends its geolocation and we use it simultaneously under messaging. All geolocations are erased by newer ones.
- We are not responsible for the information you can receive or send via Nod App. Our users are free to share any kind of messages. We ask you to stay polite and don’t be offensive or do harm to anybody. Really ? Anonymous texting with no limits on message content and you (a) expect people to stay polite, and (b) want to denounce all responsibility ? Sure (b) is achievable (possibly) legally by having a huge disclaim…
We understand all the challenges, it's up to users to bully or not. But still this can be a lot of fun. There already is opportunity to "mute" or "report" a message.

there are no authorisation, phone number verification or fb login - only user's device ID

The app started as a simple prototype in our office of small startup studio. We discovered super fun nature of anonymous ephemeral messaging, so decided to give it a try. We got about 10K organic installs in 1 week. So people sure miss something in anonymous messaging field. Actually we aim to acquire as more as possible Secret`s ex-users - we believe that there are at least 10M of people looking for a new tool to en…
After installation I swipe down and the app reboots my iPhone 6+ :) It's impressive that you can get 10K organic installs in 1 week! Are there any trick/hack that other app makers can learn from it?

How do you access the users location? Wifi? The app doesn't ask for this permission and there's no such permission in the settings tab.

Please learn from Secret. There are some things you should choose not to build. This is one.
Secret was an awesome app, it has not only inappropriate content but a lot of cool jokes, stories, news etc. It was closed not because people haven't used it but because it went not the way founders wanted. We don't have over expectations in the field.

No Android version?
we are going to test iOS first and then decide
