You probably haven't finished tutorial mode. After the tutorial Nod will ask to turn on geolocation access.

thanks. we'll consider that. just for information apps with phone verification use "anonymous" in description too. we are way more anonymous than secret and many other out there.

Secret was an awesome app, it has not only inappropriate content but a lot of cool jokes, stories, news etc. It was closed not because people haven't used it but because it went not the way founders wanted. We don't have over expectations in the field.

Yik Yak is more a board, Nod is messenger with all the instant pushes and everything else.

We don’t store users location history. User's device only sends its geolocation and we use it simultaneously under messaging. All geolocations are erased by newer ones.

If you swipe left on the message in the list you get "mute" option. Then you can mute it not to get notifications on the updates or report the message. For now when reported message is reviewed by our team.

We understand all the challenges, it's up to users to bully or not. But still this can be a lot of fun.

There already is opportunity to "mute" or "report" a message.

As we don't have pictures sharing (at lest for now) there sure will be less nudity and offensive content overall

The app started as a simple prototype in our office of small startup studio. We discovered super fun nature of anonymous ephemeral messaging, so decided to give it a try.

We got about 10K organic installs in 1 week. So people sure miss something in anonymous messaging field. Actually we aim to acquire as more as possible Secret`s ex-users - we believe that there are at least 10M of people looking for a new tool to enjoy anonymous conversations with others in close proximity.
