Hello, We are excited to announce that Dapplr Android Alpha is now live. We want to thank the people who registered for this and they will play a very important role in making Dapplr application robust and reliable for the HIVE community. Without talking more, we will let you want the preview video of Dapplr.
Features Included In The Release
1. Login using HiveSigner
We are making use of HiveSigner to login the user into the application.
2. Storage
All of the private information e.g authToken (for API authentications), is stored in KeyChain in IOS and with AES encryption in Android. Else, other public information that are open will be stored in JSON format and normal encryption.
3. Themes
Dapplr would be one of a kind app to offer a number of app themes and customizations. We believe, its a great enhancement to the overall experience. A few names of the themes are Toasted Almond (our favourite), Sweet Tangerine, Byzantium and many more…
4. Account Management
A user will be able to do normal account operations e.g Transfer, Delegations, Power Up / Power Down , Subscriptions, Profile Update, Referrals management and more.
5. Explore
A very crucial integration of Dapplr is the way how a user explores other authors, communities and tags. This has to be wonderful to make the application a successful one. We have integrated all of this in a very elegant way and it’s going to be amazing for new as well as existing users.
6. Media mode and Content mode
A user will be able to choose the type of the post and what kind of information that he/she wants to share on the blockchain. e.g If the information is media heavy then the user can go for Media mode to create a post. We believe media mode is very crucial for artists, photographers and status updates. We have made the content mode a bit advanced than Media mode in which a user can format his/her content along with the ability to save it as a draft.
7. View Types
We are offering three modes to view the content on the blockchain. They are Media view, List view and Grid view. We really believe this will help users to be more comfortable in consuming content.
8. Send Gift
A user will be able to send gifts and tips to any author in a very simple way. We believe this is a huge addition in terms of appreciating a content and giving it additional tangible values.
9. Referral system Link to the Detailed Post
We will keep a record of the people referring other people to our platform and when SMTs(Smart Media Tokens) will be launched, the referral rewards will be airdropped on those accounts.
10. Earning Dapplr Tokens Link to the Detailed Post
Until Dapplr token is launched, only authors will be able to earn Dapplr token and its amount will be the same as earned by the post/content.
11. Push Notifications
Push notifications is an integral part of Dapplr and we believe this can really make a huge difference for the hive community because this will always keep users updated about the author’s content, community content and blockchain updates.
12. Communities
We have put the integration of communities where a user can explore communities and be a part of it. Along with this, we have put the user’s communities feed on the homepage, so a user can easily explore the content of the communities that he/she has been following. The whole experience is just seamless.
13. Delegations to the new users Link to the Detailed Post
We will be delegating some Hive Power to a new user for 21 days so that the user has the chance to share his/her content actively and become independent. We believe this is our first step towards mass onboarding and there is still a lot of things yet to be done to make this an easy process.
Incremental Developments and Future Plans
Now the core features are in place, we will now be doing incremental developments to bring out new features. The following is the list that we have decided that we will be developing and pushing out the PlayStore and AppStore updates with each feature.
1. Proposals Integration
We want the whole experience of using and consuming the blockchain updates seamlessly and proposals are an integral part of it. We have already started working on it and will soon be available in the application.
2. Communities Management
We want to give users the ability to create and manage the communities. Creation of a community is going to be a bit complex, so for this we will keep the integration of https://hive.blog for community creation and for management, we will integrate it natively.
3. Witness Screen
We will be integrating witnesses so that a user can easily support his/her favourite and deserving witnesses.
4. Dapplr Chat
We have moved this to a bit later stage because this is a crucial and complex part of implementation. This requires quite a lot of testing and stability to offer a beautiful experience to the HIVE community. We want to compete with other social media platforms and that’s why this has to work really nicely for every user. We don’t want to leave any stone unturned.
5. Social Sign On
This is another enhancement that is going to be crucial for mass onboarding. Users want to have a quick and performant login experience and that’s why we will be adding this feature. We believe this is crucial for the whole HIVE blockchain ecosystem and this can really ease the job for a new user to join HIVE.
6. Dapplr Token Launch
We will launch our token once the SMTs are launched and this is going to make a huge difference in terms of content rewards for the users. We are still exploring many use cases of our token and there is a ton of work that would be needed to make it a valuable asset.

Congrats! Sad that I was never once even replied to with anything more than a 1-word response, even though I advocated on Twitter (and Hive) over and over that I would've been a DIE-HARD user/fan + also dying to help be an Alpha +/or Beta tester, and never once received a single response from you guys through twitter on your posts - but I'm glad that others still at least followed you.
Hopefully, this app turns out as amazing as it looks. I've continually stated here on Hive + Twitter that Dapplr would have, in my opinion, the most massive impact on Hiveonboarding, helping us work towards mainstream adoption of the masses.
1 suggestion - you guys should really bring someone on to handle your social media marketing that actually understands and values marketing - people really reach out on social and the responses seem very bare minimum/1-worded. This was even discussed in a conversation on one of the marketing discords at some point. You also probably would've gotten a LOT more funding which would've accelerated your dev process.
A proper social media response/marketing team also makes a MASSIVE difference when it comes to onboarding and adoption by the masses - if you can't properly respond to other human beings, you won't onboard them.
I understand you guys are working your ass off on the app dev itself, but there have been TONS of us on Twitter that have been pushing and dying for this, and offering multiple times to help you guys grow / test / improve your outreach. Hell, I would've even done the marketing for you for FREE.
Otherwise, wishing you guys the very best.
Hi @nulledghost
Each and every member of the community is important. Thank you for your feedback and continuous support.
Yes, Our first priority is to build a robust and reliable product. It should be easy enough for a new user to join HIVE community and with that in mind, we believe there is quite a lot of stuff that we can do to achieve that.
We will work on our marketing strategy as it will play a huge role in the future and acquiring masses.
thanks for the response - currently replying using dApplr 😁.
I sent you guys 100 $HUSTLERM miner tokens (@HiveHustlers community mining tokens worth 1 Hive/ea). stake them and earn some free tokens daily.
truly in love with the app right now and I think this might be my new favorite app. I knew this was going to change the game when it came to mobile.
keep it up guys, awesome work.

Up voted this for visibility. Social media interaction is the key to on boarding. This is something Appics have done well (as that is their background) and I recommend looking at how they achieved that and I have a lot of respect for their on boarding approach. I would also study how they lost a lot of the community with their private token economics and restricted platform posts (you only see Appics posts on Appics but everyone on Steem sees them so it was not asymmetrical and people often opted had to create second account specifically for appics). Keeping Dapplr open to all content regardless of if it is posted on Dapplr (or another fronted) is imperative for rapid uptake. If you get the right mix here of freedom and usability this will explode in popularity. I would be keen to be an iphone tester.
Hi @intrepidphotos
Thank you for your feedback. We have plans in place but first we need to build and build until we have a product that we can market it to the masses.
iOS version will soon be coming. Stay tuned.
Super excited to see this announcement.
Particularly I think Dapplr chat will add huge value to our $HIVE community.
Hi @nathanmars
Yes, it will add huge value to the platform. But the chat isn't a part of this release as we want to make it competitive with the other Social Media Platform.We will include Chat along with many features very soon with our weekly incremental updates to Dapplr application.
One step at a time.
I feel confident in team dApplr
Hi there,
the proposal was supported quite a time ago already.
You're doing a really great job and I hope I can get access to the alpha launch because I love checking out new things - especially when they are promising :)
HIVE ON!!!

Thank you for your feedback.
Good idea. We can add this customization for the users.
I voted your proposal.
Keep doing the great work
ps: please think about iOS users :-)
Hi @toofasteddie
We are working with the Apple support to resolve out our account purchase related issues.
awesome! good luck with further development!
4. Dapplr Chat - make it priority! Key feature!
Hi @Felix.herrmann
Yes it's a priority and we have most of the things integrated for the chat and we are improving the Chat experience everyday. It just needs a lot of testing before we can release it.
did you think about taking a cut from the upvotes in order to fund your service?
I'm excited for this chat implementation but hope that you'll consider interoperability with other dapps by creating/adopting an open standard. It would be nice if we had one service and anyone could run a client to interact with it versus multiple small walled silos.
Posted using Dapplr
Agree!
The chat feature would be one of the key point for significant impact on User Retaining.
Can’t wait to see it on AppStore ;)
@lyubo19 @velinov86 @gigiii the new and better Instagram is coming ;)

@iliyan90 can't wait 🤓

Hi @joetunex
Thank you for your feedback and continuous support.
You are welcome, though I can't test the Alpha launch because my phone doesn't support the Android version.
Q: the referral program is not live yet, right?
Öh and please add an option for bigger fonts, this is far too small :)

Welcome to the Dapplr Alpha Team.
thank u

I'm looking forward to the beta version of this app ;-)
Hi @jjprac
The beta version will be available very soon once we have tested the app thoroughly.
I just requested access for my android phone. I would also love to talk with you all about making a promo video for the app. I'm a filmmaker here on Hive and I think it would be awesome to make a 30-second promo video to showcase the app!
Hi @aperterikk
Nice. You will have the access by tomorrow. Promo video would be great. Join us on Dapplr discord to be in contact with us.
i am testing now.feeling good.
Posted using Dapplr
Hey Guys, I want the access!!! xD Finally the wait is over. I am so excited to use Dapplr.
What about languages?
Hive needs more mobile apps, so I hope this gets more people active.
Really cool, @dapplr. I see an image on the site that says your on iOS. I can’t find a link. Is that coming or am I missing something?
Hi @kommienzuspadt
iOS version is still under review. Stay tuned for the updates.
Hi,
This is huge news!
I just wanted to let you know there is a typo in your announcement graphic. It says “APLHA” and I think you meant “ALPHA”.
The 21 delegation for new users is crucial. Lots of new users quit when they don't have enough RCs to make posts and comments.
Wooowww, Gustará muchísimo en la Gran Familia Hive!!!
Grandes Mejoras, se ve muy Interesante.
App looks beautiful, as does the team. Wishing you luck and hope to try it soon.
Looks fantastic!
I cannot wait for iOS!
Will give it a try! 🖖
So awesome!
Congrats guys, all the hard work you've put in...Amazing to see the product ready to rock!
Can't wait to test it out on iOS when you have that ready.
Exciting times!
Que geniaaal!!!! Poder acceder a Hive por una app! Super este lanzamiento
Wow Proud to see an entire team of Indians invested in making such progressive apps on Hive Blockchain.!!!
Best of Luck..!!!
Will have my full support. 💪

Good work, filled the form for alpha.

posted using dapplrtype of addition in every comment! Why user should be responsible promoting your product, one of the reason I never used partiko.Can't wait to get hands on IOS device.
Looks really slick! Can't wait to try it on full release.
I love this app. It's the most beautiful app I've ever seen.
Posted using Dapplr
Hi @zekiz
Thank you for your feedback.
Oh my goodness, it's finally happening! After having waited for so long, we finally have a proper app to experience Hive in its fullest form, and I'm super excited to try this out myself. It looks the URL isn't found, so I guess I woke up a bit late to the Alpha. In any case, I hope those Alpha users have a great time with the app, and here's hoping that all the bugs will be squashed, and refinements made for the full launch!
Also, pretty great to finally meet the faces behind the Dapplr. Cheers to you amazing folk :-D
Download Url is not working?
Good
This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for introducing the team, it helps so much! Everyone vote for the Dapplr proposal!
Our 3 months baked cake is ready to be decorated 😎. Way to go team. Awesome Job.
When ios?
Hey guys! Really nice app! I am testing it right now. Everything looks clean except my personal struggle with tiny tinted background in day themes. Would you please consider adding white background variants as well?
