Turtle is a new kind of anonymous communication app. Turtle is an app that lets you message people and remain anonymous for three days. This concept leads to more fun and genuine conversations. Turtle 2.0 includes many new features and improvements such as: -Instagram integration -Location, age, and gender -School pages -Friend lists -And more
I like the branding and design. Downloading now.
Anonymous apps have always been very tricky, often leading to bullying and abuse. How are you combatting this, @nicksarath and @donbytyqi?

Thanks Ryan!
You're right, most anonymous apps are very conducive to bullying and abuse, but Turtle takes an entirely different approach. Turtle's concept revolves around "temporary anonymity". Everyone is only anonymous for 3 days once the conversation is started. This idea mitigates bullying and abuse since everyone will be revealed after the countdown ends.
@nicksarath I don’t quite get it.
If people will be revealed anyhow, what’s the point of starting with anonymity?
Then again I’m probably not part of the target market

Good question! My generation specifically has always used mediums such as Instagram Direct and Twitter DMs to start conversations with people. When using these platforms, there is an immediate wave of implicit bias/judgement towards the messenger based on factors such as appearance and follower count.
With Turtle, there isn't that immediate wave of implicit bias or judgement. You are given a chance to win the other person over with your character instead of extraneous factors like follower count, appearance, and popularity status.
@jacqvon We wanted an entirely new way to start conversations with people. Temporary anonymity is something that's never been done before. We were pretty motivated to be the first app to do it differently from other anonymous communication apps such as Yik Yak, Fox, Sarahah, Ask.fm, etc.
