I've been using Retro for weeks now, and it's so refreshing to feel like there is a social app that is actually about.. uh... my friends?
1. I love having a place to share bits of my personal life
2. I love seeing what my friends are up to
3. I love that it feels like a less performative space. I love cracking jokes on twitter/bluesky/threads, but this is just about sharing my life (for me).
Fast software, feels extremely well crafted making it a delight to use. Easily my favorite way to share photos with friends — sort of like perfect group-chat photo sharing, wrapped in an elegant interface, quick and easy to post / see friends' photos / comment. Been using nearly daily for the last three months as a tester and love it.
Beautiful and simple way for connecting with friends without any of the ads or spam of Instagram or TikTok. Great for parents who want to share photos of their children in a privacy safe way.
I've been using the beta for a while and it's amazing. Love the lack of thirsting for likes and editing photos, just seeing pics of what you're friends are up to, without any fluff.
The design, copy, and experience is polished and somehow feels "high class" 🤌. No FOMO, no bots, just a simple tool to help me connect and stay up to date with the people I love.
This is where I want to share my life with my friends and family.
Been using retro for awhile now! Ryan and Nathan are keeping the dream alive that a social app can be a positive influence that makes you feel more connected with the real people in your life and inspires you to live more.
The social platform we need, not the one we deserve. Shared with all my primary group chats. Congrats on the launch and please let me know if there's anything I can do to support!
