Description by Maxwell Bartig(from the App Store)
Kin keeps parents and students close with one photo a day. Send one, get one back. That's it. No feed, no strangers, no noise: a daily connection that goes beyond a call.
HOW IT WORKS - A parent adds their student and sends an invite from Messages. The student taps the link and they're connected. - Each page shows the other person's latest photo, full screen. Swipe up for your library together. - React to a photo or leave a comment. - Trade a photo each day to grow your streak. Hit 30 days and earn a freeze token that saves a missed day. - Lost a streak? Restore it within 7 days. - A Home Screen widget shows their latest photo and your streak. - Gentle reminders keep the streak alive, and you choose the quiet hours.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Only the two people on a page can see its photos. - Report a problem or block someone at any time. - Sign in with Apple, and hide your email if you like. - Delete your account and everything in it from inside the app.
FREE AND KIN PREMIUM Kin is free to use: parents can send one photo per student per day and keep up to two student pages. Your latest 9 photos are kept, with the newest 3 shown clearly and older ones blurred. Students are never charged. Kin Premium (parents) unlocks unlimited photos and student pages, keeps every photo, and adds read receipts so you can see when your photo was opened, plus one free streak restore a month, for the whole family on one plan: $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial. Streak restore is also available as a one-time in-app purchase for $1.99 (a consumable). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
Each subscription will automatically renew 3 days before the expiration date for
the same time period. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before the renewal.
