Palmsy 4+

okay so I LOVE this app; it’s helping me overcome a social media addiction. I rated 4 stars because there’s tons of room for this app to grow to become even better than it is currently. I’ve compiled a list of some suggestions!

option for more than 20 likes
have a “random number of likes” option so users can be surprised at how many/how little likes a post receives
comments!! add comments!!! PLEASE
show the first name of likers ONLY!! showing the last name, even though it’s included the contact info, isn’t realistic as to how other social media platforms are
have photo appear side by side like they do on Threads when posting more than 1 photo at a time in a post
the order in which photos are added is messed up and doesn’t correlate to the way I add them into the post (e.g. if I want a certain photo to show first, I tap it first and add it to the post. But instead, the app places it 2nd.)
add a profile photo feature!!!!! be able to add and change profile picture and have it show next to the posts
the option to have an ACTUAL profile to view and edit and customize (e.g. a profile picture, bio, banner photo)
a fake followers/following option!!!
be able to save multiple drafts
be able to save PHOTO drafts without the photo(s) being deleted
If these were implemented I really don’t think I’d ever use another, “real” social media platform again.

This is a fun little app to use as a journal and it’s fun to simulate social media. But I echo others that I wish there were an option to have random fake people like instead of your contacts. I also think it would really be interesting to be able to receive “comments” in addition to “likes” as this would really enhance the similarity to actual social media.

Palmsy is just fun. The people “liking” your posts didn’t actually see your post. Palmsy just pretends they did by pulling random folks from your contacts. It’s funny to see who is still in my contacts. Then, I weirdly get the dopamine hit of social media likes without the indignity of posting on social.
