  • The revolutionary features of Yubl relates to its unique Buttons which give users a whole new world of interaction

In the world of Yubl, users are empowered to express themselves, seek opinions, or spark debate, through the creation and sharing of ‘Yubls’.

Every Yubl starts with a blank ‘canvas’ on which users can layer text, stickers, video, photos and Yubl ‘Buttons’, all of which can be moved, rotated and scaled. Yubls activate across synchronous screens, so that everyone in the chat shares the same view at the same time and can see interactions as they happen, bringing users closer to the people and things they love.

Yubl Buttons allow users to interact with each other in real time:

  • Vote Button: Gather opinions, make instant decisions as a group – where to go, what time or place to meet.
  • Count Button: Allow users to respond in a more personal way.
  • Weblink Button: Adds weblinks to a Yubl.
  • Whereabouts Button: Allows users to share their location with friends.
  • Pinpoint Button: Shows everyone in the chat where to meet up.

Packs of unique and fun stickers also come with Yubl, many of which are animated and make sounds when someone taps them.

Yubl is made up of three distinct ‘spaces’:

  1. Chats – is where users exchange Yubls with friends in one-to-one and group chats.
  2. Your Feed – is where users broadcast and browse through Yubls shared to the whole network, including their friends, followers, brands and celebrities.
  3. Explore – is where to find great content, brands and popular personalities to follow. This space includes famous faces from fashion, technology, sport, the arts and renowned daredevils all sharing content in their own unique way.

Yubl is free to download from the App Store and Google Play
