Appreciate the response and we'll def work to improve our landing page, homepage to better showcase and explain our app! And thanks for the link to the article, it is very helpful :) For now I think our Google Play and App Store page will explain the app better with the app screenshots and description.

We have always focused on our website in the past and mobile is still fairly new for us so we're learning quickly. All feedback and suggestions are welcome!

mindotuson Say Hello on Minus Chat, share and meet new friends.

Sorry for the confusion! The mobile app for Minus is indeed different where users on Minus.com tend to share photos over the web and it's less about chatting and meeting new friends, however you can still share photos / chat on both mobile and the web.

We're also working to improve the experience on the website along with the mobile development.

Cheers!
