Spill-App 17+

The Spill app has truly changed my perspective on what social media can and should be. I’ve been using the app since its availability in the App Store and I have not been disappointed. Years prior, I significantly reduced my social media presence because social media simply didn’t feel fun, safe, or genuine. Spill has shown me that you really CAN have a social media platform that promotes genuine connections and creates a safe space for its users. The sense of community on this app is mind blowing. I also love the latest user interface. It’s intuitive and fun to use. The Spill team is amazing as well. They constantly engage the Spill community on how they can better serve the community and make the space something users genuinely enjoy. Through its Tea Party feature, I have had some amazing connections, laughed so much, and have learned some things too! The Tea Party feature is user-driven, so you get to hear and engage other users on topics from anywhere to music, mental health, LGBTQIA awareness, to discussions on anime. Community users also get together and watch movies together while commenting via Tea Parties. The Tea Parties often have DJs spinning live sets too and folks comment on the song in near-realtime. It’s just a good time and Spill puts the social back in social media.

I’m not sure when I joined this app but I’d say a few months ago. It has already become my favorite social media app. It’s a social media app that gets it. The creators of the app have in my opinion have been so transparent about the process to create an environment that is accepting of all people no matter race, gender, sex, or orientation. This app really feels like community. And if there are squabbles they are handled fairly. I wish I could gatekeep it but it must be brought to the whole world for an example of how social media should be. It’s so much fun that I want to quit work and spill all day. The impact it has made on some many people is so unique. I don’t know if many people would call social media a positive place but my experiences on spill have been very positive. It’s been so positive that I believe so strongly that spill is the future of social media.

Spill is THAT space!

As a creative, beauty professional, and Black woman navigating multiple lanes, Spill has been one of the very few apps where I actually feel seen.

I don't have to water myself down or fight algorithms to be heard. I simply show up, share my thoughts and work, and genuine connections form naturally. Whether discussing anime, entrepreneurship struggles, or my blog's behind-the-scenes, someone on Spill always gets it.

The culture is unmatched, unique, smart, funny, and creatively inspiring. I've made more meaningful connections in this space in two years than on other platforms in a decade. What's even better is that these connections extend beyond the screen into real life through local meetups organized by users of the app.

While I hesitate to compare it to other apps, the interface is like what Tumblr and Instagram wish they could be, and it's still in beta!

What truly sets Spill apart is that the CEO, developers, and team actively engage with users both online and in person, constantly seeking feedback to improve. They're building a platform that genuinely serves its community.

They've even launched an equity crowdfunding round, giving users a chance to invest in the platform's future.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
