KissMS App - A Challenge for Google Burberry Kisses

Dec. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- KissMS is a social messaging app that brings in new concept to social messaging. KissMS plans to place a “KISS”  at the centre of social messaging. Mobile messaging apps are usually used for sending short messages and long conversations are usually carried through a voice/video call. So shorter the messages better the app. And nothing carries across a message better than a picture.

With KissMS send a kiss to anyone from anywhere at  any time. There are different types of kisses like a Good Morning Kiss or a New Year Kiss so your context gets carried across perfectly. In addition to that you can send different kimojis with a delectable choice of punches, hugs, bouquets and even rings. You can attach a text message and/or a 10-second long voice message along with your kiss to bring across your message with more force. The voice message is limited to 10 seconds so that it gets carried across faster.

You can register with KissMS using your email id. This allows you to use the app on multiple devices using the same account. Also Kissms uses e-mail addresses for communication. So only those contacts in your phone with a listed email address will be shown in your KissMS contact list. If you send a KISS to someone not registered on KissMS they’ll receive an email notification and an invitation to join KissMS.

KissMS has a face request feature to safeguard your privacy and protect you from vandalism. With face request no one can place a kiss on an image of your real face unless you give them permission. The person who wished to place a kiss on your real face must first send you a Face Request. You can choose to accept or reject it. if you chose to accept it you can place a photo of your choice for that particular contact to kiss. Unless and until you accept a face request the sender can only place kisses on generic images provided within the app. Similarly if you wish to place kisses on the real face of a contact you should send the contact a Face Request and wait for them to accept it. You can further protect the app itself with the passcode feature. Once you activate passcode it’ll prompt you to enter the passcode each time you try to launch the app.

KissMS also has a distance counter and a duration counter. Distance counter shows the distance a KisMS has traveled to reach the sender, in miles. Distance counter measures how many second you have been in contact with the screen while placing a kimoji in a message.This is you can tell apart the 1 second peck and the 10 second kiss. The statistics option allows a user to track parameters like total distance travelled by all the kisses in a conversation, total duration of all the kisses in a conversation, the longest distance travelled by a kiss in that conversation etc.

The app is available on iOs devices currently. Android version shall be released within 2-3 weeks. There is a free version and a paid version for this app. The paid version is priced at 0.99$ and comes with all the bells and whistles. The free version is basically a trial edition with in-app purchase facilities for extra features. The limitations are you can place kisses on only caricatures and you cannot send voice messages. The user can see and load real faces but when they try to place a kiss on a real face an in-app purchase option pops up that allows you to purchase that option. Similarly when you click on the record button to send a voice message an in-app purchase option pops up which allows you to purchase voice message option. Each in-app purchase option is priced at 0.99$ each. And purchasing these two features makes you at par with the paid version.
