Why we picked this?

Youpendo focuses on connections rather than instant gratification. It does away with the usual impersonal wall of scrollable content and instead allows you to send and catch paper airplanes. The airplanes act as content vessels. You’re able to catch random airplanes, open them up to see what’s inside, and either like or respond to the user’s content. When creating your own paper airplane, you’re able to gain inspiration from an expert-approved list. The app also includes a built-in photo and video editor, the ability to follow other users, and the ability to revisit content you’ve shared.

You want to open up and be yourself without worrying how your content is perceived.

You don’t enjoy sharing personal content.
