## Retro Description
Retro is a radical new idea: a social app where you share real photos with real friends.

It's the app that we wanted for our own family and friends, and for you, it should feel like a breath of fresh air.

Retro is a weekly photo journal that (1) brings you closer to the people you actually care about and (2) helps you appreciate your own life - all without the distractions and pressure of big social media. 

So dust off those photos that are just sitting in your camera roll and spread some joy in the world. 

Say hi to us at founders@retro.app

And if you’re still reading, here are some reasons to try Retro:

- EASY TO START: Start by choosing photos you’ve already taken and backfill the weeks on your profile with the photos and videos you want to remember. 

- NO PRESSURE: Everything was designed with your comfort in mind. Your friend list is private. Likes on your posts are private. No captions required. Update any part of your profile anytime. 

- PRINT & SHIP POSTCARDS: Spread some joy through snail mail by printing your photo as a high quality postcard and sending it to anyone in the world via USPS first class.

- MONTHLY RECAPS: Create a beautiful photo collage or video slideshow from the photos you’ve shared from the week, month, or year. Then share via text or Instagram in a tap.

- GROUP ALBUMS: Start a private album and drop the link in your group chat to collect and share photos after events. Perfect for parties, projects, friends, parents, and couples. 

- GROUP MESSAGING: Retro is now an all-in-one home for groups large and small, with the ability to share photos, videos, and notes privately in Albums and start group chats in Messages.

- HOME SCREEN WIDGETS: See the newest posts from friends or time hop back to your own memories with our new widgets.

We've poured our hearts into this, and we hope you love it.

## Retro Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Like instagram used to be"
Friends only, just simple pictures and videos. Very cleverly thought out weekly posting. I love it.
-- SergioQubit, 2024-11-24

### *---- "Terrible app"
Absolutely terrible app i ordered a post card on the 29th of September it said it would take 5 weeks to get to the person it is now November and no postcard has been delivered i got in touch with them on instagram to get no help whatsoever never getting this app again its a scam.
-- deansjnfksm, 2024-11-02

### ***** "AMAZINGG"
this app is so good! the postcards are amazing and they come pretty fast
-- Muska Momand Meena, 2024-10-16

### *---- "Stuck in setup"
Can’t proceed through setup, added profile pic and selected a friend, but there’s no way to proceed. No way to contact help, skip, etc..
Still unsure how this app works but now unable to find out lol.
-- georgienne, 2024-09-22

### ****- "Love the app, hate the location tracking"
I’m really hoping for a fix to the details of location attached automatically to my photos. The app is beautiful and I can see myself using it a lot, but privacy is important to me and when I post photos from home, I don’t want my home address listed (which is quite specific down to the name of my estate) - I know the app is just for people you let see your photos, but if I ever wanted to share it with my wider circle beyond family and closest friends, this would hold me back 

There’s a function to turn off ‘neighborhood captions’ but it doesn’t seem to have worked, and still lists the location of my latest photo on my profile. Pls help!
-- JulianMaclurg, 2024-08-18

### ***** "Creative and fun"
This app not only lets you upload your weeks for the year showing what you did, who you were with, what you got up to etc. this app also allows you to connect with your friends in a way that’s different to most social media apps these days. It’s by far my favourite social app, and even allows a few post cards to be sent out, you design and write them, and they create, and post them 😁
-- McKenzie sparkes, 2024-08-17

### ***** "Love!"
Really loving the simplicity of this app - takes away the pressure other social media apps have
-- autumn-j, 2024-07-20

### ***** "AI-free, Ad-free, Slop-free"
I got this app as its everything I’ve ever wanted in an app - simple. This and my hatred for AI made me download it. Unfortunately I haven’t used it at all because I have no friends. Cool idea though and would work well with friends (I think).
