Introduction and Review
As a social networking app specially designed for young people, Sendit allows users to use the app anonymously by asking questions and giving answers. It is an application add-on for apps like Snapchat. Compared with other messaging apps, it is “safer” because it protects the users’ privacy and users can express their opinions without showing others their identities. It is rather fun to guess who has left the comments. The add-on app will enhance users’ experience on Snapchat and provides young people with numerous chances to conduct social media interactions. Featuring a series of augmented social games, users can ask personal questions to exchange for others’ feedback. With Sendit, you can either choose to select friends only or let other people see your activities as well. You can play choice games with your friends while post pictures of yourself. Post the story with all kinds of questions and you will receive people’s feedback without clarifying who they are. However, if you subscribe to the diamond membership, you will get hints of whom the message might have been sent by. Also, by joining the membership, you will be able to access exclusive social interaction games on Sendit. By subscribing to the weekly membership, you will be able to enjoy an ads-free world. A free trial is also available for users to apply for before buying a membership. However, though the app ensures users’ privacy and enhances social interaction among young people, parents should pay attention to the downside of the app due to a variety of reasons. First of all, since anyone can send comments and answers to the user without showing who they really are, hurtful comments may be produced during the process, which is detrimental to the mental health and psychological development of teenagers. What’s more, bad people may take advantage of the app to contact young kids as their potential crime targets. No history of the chat will be kept so it is hard for others to track the clues. Therefore, harassment and cyberbullying might come into being in this kind of circumstance. Also, the app encourages people to buy in-app purchases so as to get hints about who sent the message, which is quite costly for young people. The app allows anyone to use it so there could be all types of people at all age ranges on the app and game addiction in children might be fostered during the social interaction process.
