Free registration at the forum removes this block.I think a lot of people go 'shotgun approach' sending generic emails to a stack of journalists; rather than working out who your ideal journalists are (based on their previous stories), and trying to build a relationship prior to you actually needing anything. It's time consuming, but you start to get a feel for the "Who's who" as far as journalists go in your industry.Is there any tips on how you guys received media attention?

Well, that was expected.Well damn. This is depressing. I went to check it out on the App Store to see how it was doing. 0 reviews. I think this is a case of just horrible timing. It launched weeks before IOS 10 which completely overhauled the messages app.
Hope I'm proven wrong!
"What if" is meaningless.It's a beautiful app. And if it had come out around the time as WhatsApp, we could be talking about a $1bn acquisition. But timing just sucked.
Is there a need for it? That's really for the market to decide, but so far, the market isn't talking.
It's not limited to this specific audience only.the request function is great for one specific audience:
jealous people and their loved ones.
example:
a-babe i am with my mates chilling
b- requests photo
a- no
b- ends relationship or starts a huge fight..
don't get me wrong. this function is your moneymaker.
I don't know about the app store but it seems to be doing pretty fine on play store. Averaging around 10000 downloads and 180 reviews.Well damn. This is depressing.

1) It happens when people overestimate themself and their idea. In reality, they could share their prototype publically and no one would do anything in response for 2 main reasons:This thread is a good example of three things:
1). Don't operate in a vacuum. Total secrecy, why? You need people like @devine to tell you where you're going in the wrong direction so you don't waste two years driving down to a dead-end.
2). Don't wait to polish your product before releasing. You don't know what reactions the market will have to the features you've created, so why waste the time to polish them to shine? Barebones and get it out as fast as you can to start getting a reading of where you stand.
Two years. Hot damn.
3). "Attaboy"s only go so far. It's great and all to be a mother-figure and unconditionally support each other, but then how would this forum be different from any other casual friend? Being blunt will give them temporary pain to avoid a more long-term one.
I don't know anything about your product, so all I can say is: Good luck.
There is no compromise between beauty and functionality, it's just that beautiful things often have no purpose behind them.Also, I see him posting about function over beauty (Howard Roark style) a lot.
So, @devine can you recommend a text(s) that will let us avoid the pitfalls of poor design?

One person's knowledge is called expertise, not opinion.One person's opinion doesn't make a market.
One person's opinion doesn't make a market. I remember when Sal (@Likwid24) first launched his product. Several people laughed at it on Facebook.
I wonder what those people are doing now, several years later? Well I don't need to wonder -- they're doing the exact same thing: NOTHING. And Armchairing guys who are actually tickling the market and seeing what sticks isn't considered something.
One person's knowledge is called expertise
One person's insight can make all the difference.
I'm not confusing anything. Speculation is assumptions about how things will work.You've confused expertise with speculation. If expertise validated an opinion as fact, every VC-funded venture would have a 100% success rate.
One person's insight can make all the difference.
Steve Job's didn't operate in a bubble and neither does Ray Dalio. They surround themselves with vocal, intelligent people, and not housewives (Facebook) and yes-men (Circle-jerk).
