We launched Volv a few years ago, and we’re so thrilled by the response we have gotten till date - 50 MILLION stories swiped, we got backed by Snapchat, and we're back with more! Quick refresher on why we built Volv - It's extremely overwhelming to stay updated with newsletters, podcasts, social media debates, news, trending topics on 15 different platforms. We reimagined the future of media by adapting to how our generation wants to consume content - a social news app that gives you the most interesting, viral, and breaking content in 1 place in 9 second stories. Users call us "Tiktok for smart people". Biggest revelation - our users use Volv instead of social media to discover new content and newsletters that they would’ve never read otherwise. Now we’re launching a whole new Volv for writers. Over the past few months, we have been inundated with inbound requests from large media houses and hundreds of newsletters to publish on Volv to capture new audiences. Onboarding publications has always been part of the vision. But after this influx of demand, we have been speeding up development to capture this massive opportunity to launch Creator channels on Volv. And to support that we’ve created Volv Enterprise, a suite of AI tools to help writers go ‘intelligently viral.’ - AI summarization to convert your content into a 9-sec read - AI Recommendation tool to push your content to readers interested in your niche As a writer, you really don't have to do much work. Writers, you finally have a platform to go intelligently viral and unlock new readership. Writers, your future readers are waiting. Sign up here: volvmedia.com/open-waitlist Readers, download Volv and use our special PH code to access a free month of Volv Premium. Skip ads and access premium features like text-to-speech, timeline, and more.

@kostyabolsh Thanks so much!! Appreciate it :)

I am trying now your app, but let me tell you it resonates a lot of what I would like in an app without all the noice the rest of the platforms have. I can read at my pace, and really put attention to the information. Great idea! Wish you the best! @priyanka_vaz

Congratulations on the launch! What are the options for the audience to give feedback on the content? Are there any likes or comments available? If so, it would be interesting to see if the likes would be simply hidden so people can focus on the content itself but not interactions with it. Thanks!
Priyanka Vazirani
@semanser Yes! We do have likes. Writers will be able to see stats on how many views an article has received on the app along with the likes count. Comments is definitely in the pipeline too!

Hi there. Want to know what happens after the premium (free) month. I mean what limitations has the app on (free) mode, and which is the pricing (not in te page). Regards and congrats!! (Android here)
Priyanka Vazirani
hi @mauro_ramon - you can still consume content on volv after premium but some features like text-to-speech will be locked and you will see some ads. It's similar to Spotify's freemium model
Elliot Padfield
This is actually awesome. So much potential in this space, excited to see how this evolves. Congrats on the (re)launch!
Priyanka Vazirani
Can't agree more! Thanks @elliotpadfield !!

Volv is a great app for anyone who's interested in learning about the world. The straightforward, no-nonsense, non-flashy content is a real standout. It's truly one of a kind!

This is amazing. Although I am quite afraid about AI's accuracy on news content, I think its a great platofrm to replace doom scrolling Tiktok and instagram! Congrats on the launch team!
Priyanka Vazirani
@lakshya_singh the creator content will be coming from established publishers and newsletter writers themselves. We care about quality!

Couple of feedback - 1. When I tapped the login button, it automatically popped a contacts permission prompt! a. "Login" flow should not be asking contacts permission. b. You might have a reasoning saying "easily share with your friends", but that's a very weak reasoning to justify data hoarding. Yes, I can deny that permission and still use the app. But knowing that the app has such tendencies makes me not trust the app. 2. Phone number as the only option for account creation -> that's a no go for me. Coupled with the point #1, it's not looking good.
Priyanka Vazirani
@vicky_buddie that's already being changed - contacts permission is for referrals and it's being pushed to that part of the app in the next update!
