Big Reactions

How many times have you commented on a friend's selfie with the typical "LOL" or "OMG" or the even more generic "cute" responses? Flip the tables: when you receive comments like that on spectacular selfies it's a little disappointing but unless you're there to see their reactions that's the best you're going to get, right? Think again because the Reactr app lets you share your selfies and then see how your recipients react to it. This is a very easy app to use: simply capture a video or snap a photo and then send it to your friend. You will then get to see their real-time selfie reaction by video or photo. This takes sharing photos to a whole new level.

The developer has recently made a number of minor and major updates to the app so that users can expect better-than-ever performance. There is a new user interface, there is a setting so you can send photos anonymously, there are more settings, there are new alerts, you have the ability to invite your Facebook friends, you get more drawing tools, the developer made some bug fixes, and new filters were added; the list just keeps on going. The app scores an impressive four out of five stars from users who are catching on to the app and becoming big fans real fast.
 

Using the App

When it comes to using the Reactr app the experience couldn't be simpler and smoother. Your main job is to capture that perfect video or photo and then you can share it with your friend. What's great is that you get to see their reaction in real-time. When you send the video or picture you can include a message or just send it anonymously. Now there is a catch which is meant to provide privacy for all. Before the sender can see the recipient's reaction the recipient must give permission to send it. As well these reactions will only be shared among friends so you have no fear of it going out to the public.
