Congrats on getting the Apple launch approval... Big step there!

I just signed up for the Ambassador program, even tho I don't know much about Foto yet - but I figure any small team from Smyrna, 7 miles from my childhood home on Buchanan in the small town of La Vergne, deserves some support! Looking forward to the app.

So, when does the app show up on the App Store?

I still can’t see it in my Apple Store 😭

Did you get the app? I see you have made a profile and a post. don't believe the app shows on a desktop, only on iPhone or iPad.

Trish Hamilton's avatar

No. Still don’t see it in my App Store. I’ve only looked on my phone. Am I missing something?

When I looked, shortly after midnight 2.21 I did not find it. This morning, I was able to download and install, then create an account and upload a first photo.

You must mean apple app store, eh? I'm looking for it on Google Play, nothing yet.

I was aware of the restriction by Apple on the number of Beta testers they could have. Some time back I had tried to sign up for beta, but they were already at the limit.

Congratulations on the Google and Apple approval - I can't wait to share this with my friends who missed the chance to be a Beta Tester. I am absolutely in love with no algorithm and the explore/search is well done in my opinion. My favourite is that it's quiet - no video, no music, no ads - just pictures to be taken in and enjoyed.

Great so far, fantastic to connect with people taking pics from all over the world. Good luck for the future.

Have really enjoyed being part of Foto for the last year. It’s been an honor.

And if it ever comes up in the future as you grow and consider financials…I imagine I am not alone in stating I have no interests in another social media platform with dm’s and cliques and the assorted rubbish. Keep it clean, keep it pure β€”and video free!

Congrats on the launch. Can’t wait to get this on my iOS device after trying the beta and loving it on my Android phone. Can’t wait to let all my friends know.

Great job, Michael!

Will you have a link icon for insertion on websites? I can’t wait to exit Meta completely!

Michael Howard's avatar

Eventually. I think we need to make the browser-based version of Foto first, but that is the goal for sure!

Blake W. Martin's avatar

Oh yeah, makes sense

As Michael reminded me, it’s not on desktops yet, so I may try some notice on my Squarespace. Most of my Squarespace traffic is desktop

Congratulations, what else can one say? The road will be long starting tomorrow, the real work will begin, and I hope that the team can grow. I would love to help in some way, but just being able to contribute by talking about the app makes me proud. Success in everything, imagining that it will reach the desktop of our computers excites me even more. Greetings.πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€
