You don't say anywhere what it actually does, in plain english. I'm guessing by one of the screenshots and the allusions that it takes a photo with your front and back camera at the same time.
To be honest, this site is a very developer/techie targeted. I don't think any average user would be interested in your app form this.
Edit: Also you have four tweet buttons, not sure if thats a bug or on purpose.
Edit 2: Ok didn't even see the top bar until I revisited for the third check over... Overall the whole site is really vague, I'd recommend going over and clarifying the copy, and making that nav more obvious.
Are you implying this isn't a real app that will be available soon? I like to think I'm pretty good at "getting" hoaxes, and I'd definitely guess that this is "a real thing". (Though I wouldn't be shocked if it weren't...)
Edit: OK it looks like consensus is that this is satire. I still think it's kind of a neat idea, I admit it…
"At Reactions, we offer you no way to save your pictures. If you want to save them, you have to share them. After a reaction is captured, you have 3 seconds to hit the unlabeled cancel button, or else your photo is automatically shared with all your Facebook friends."
It is a real app, I've used it. It was created at a recent hackathon called TartanHacks at Carnegie Mellon University. That doesn't change the fact that its satire, though!
Because of the concept I didn't think originally that it was satire. It's not a terrible idea and I could definitely see people using it. My first though was, "Hah, that's kind of a good idea!".
Then I actually started looking at web page and it became apparent.
Silly kids with no technical experience trying to produce apps. If jailbreaking the iPhone were left up to kids like this we'd all be living in Apple's walled garden.

Just like how a satirical movie is still a movie.
My question was, was it just a fake product description, or was it actually implemented (ala Cowclicker [1])?

The base idea - a photo of me and a photo of a thing, both taken at the same time, is pretty neat.
I'd use it if I had a phone with 2 cameras.
Find a better copy writer.
sigh
This doesn't mean I would buy the app though - it's just probably the one place where somewhere could actually worked out what it did!
