About this app

Swell is a platform for engaging thoughtfully with the world. Users create prompts that invite thoughtful responses in text or audio. Each response sparks a conversation, leading to many interesting discussions from the same prompt.

You can create Swell prompts on any topic - from books and mental health to politics and sports. Or simply set up a prompt inviting people to “Say Hi” and talk to you. Each prompt is an invitation to start a conversation.

A HUB FOR BOOK LOVERS

If you love books, you’ll feel right at home. Swell is a thriving community filled with authors, publishers, book clubs, literary societies, and avid readers. Share reviews, dive into character debates, or host book clubs.

A suggestion I have is to allow me to personalize my app experience through allowing me to change the color scheme. Also, personal swells that don't have to be about starting a conversation - on your personal page. Maybe a limit of 2 or something. Just to share a thought purely for sake of sharing it. The color scheme as it is makes everything feel unexciting and dull. Still getting 5 stars because I love the concept and I'd like to see more people join the app and for things to further develop.

A place for intelligent people & non judgemental discourse. this reminds me of what social media used to be when they first started. it's a place in my experience has been full of Forward Thinking and open-minded people who are willing to discuss kindly things that they don't agree with just as much as they are things that they do and the people have been more than kind and welcoming I can't say enough good things about the platform.

It is a good application to get out of boredom, speak your mind and listen to people and topics you love listening to.
