Everything was fine for the first several weeks that I had it. I downloaded the app to communicate with my friends, same as anyone else. I'm sure that the app was never created with the sinister intent that I have experienced. Some people even started to use this as a way to send their racy pictures without fear of them ending up all over the internet. It's quite genius actually, and most normal people use it for silly things like pictures of themselves making ugly faces, pictures of their friends, etc. Once the viewer opens the photo/video and the allotted time runs out, it can never be opened again.
The kicker is, the app allows you to send the picture/video only for the time you choose. Snapchat is an iPhone application that allows the downloader to take a picture or video, and send it to their friends who also have downloaded the app. For those of you who don't know know what snapchat is, I'll explain.
