Snapchat
An app that basically lets you take pictures and send them to friends. When you snap a picture, before sending you can add text that lets your friend know what you want to say. When your friend gets the photo, they have two choices. They can either take a screen shot of your photo or let it expire. When it expires, your photo will be gone forever on Snapchat.
Snapchat was created in 2011 and has been given 3.9 stars on the Google play store and has been downloaded over one hundred million times. The app is very popular and offers many other benefits as well as the ones already listed. In addition to sending and receiving pictures, when you send a picture you can also see if your friend is in your chat. If they are you can speak to them face to face with the live chat option. No matter how far away you are, you can always talk with your friends face to face.
Pros

The app offers you the ability to quickly send videos and pictures to your friends or family. There is no end to the fun you can have.
Self Destruct Feature: From time to time you take embarrassing videos or photos and just wish you could take them back. With the self destruct feature, now you can.

Many celebrities use Snapchat to connect to their fans and the app allows people to feel closer to their favorite celebrities by getting a glimpse into their everyday lives.
Cons
Poor Navigation and Design: The navigation and design of the app can be confusing for new and experienced users. The app now offers navigation by using either a triangle, a square, and also lines. These can be confusing for new users especially, as they have no prior experience. The apps design is simple. It has a main screen where you can create your picture or video, as well as the navigation buttons. Also, the navigation on the app can be confusing to new and experienced user alike.
In Conclusion
