Thats really cool. I love the way it redraws the message for the recipient. It certainly seems to have some viral potential, particularly for the younger crowd.
This just makes sense.
Vast majority of people will rather type "coffee" in five seconds than spending minute with mostly awful drawing.
I wouldn't underestimate what people might respond to. A few years ago if you told me a photosharing app that deleted the image you shared after 5 seconds would refuse 2 buyout offers in the billion dollar range then I'd call you crazy :)
You need users doing what most of them are not comfortable with. Photosharing is ok for everyone i guess. But if you will make app in which everyone draw on phone like Picasso it would be different story :)
What about the illiterate? An awful lot of those out there might find this app very useful.
Why would I give you my phone number exactly?
first, we verify your phone number by sending you a 4 digit confirmation code. Anyone with your phone number on their phone contacts will be able to exchange loopy with you. WhatsApp also works this way.
Is that available in the US only?
US and India
Why not Canada too? What's the reason for regional releases?
Doesn't seem to work. I type in my phone number and click next, and nothing happens.
Sorry for that. Its only available in US and India.
I thought this was going to be something like Nintendo's Pictochat. Does anyone know of anything like that?
