How to develop an app like Vero and how much does it cost to build this new social media app

Mobile applications have gained much popularity in the recent years, especially in the social networking. They give people huge opportunities to connect with each other in an easy and timely manner, exchange, share various kinds of information - books, videos, movies or links, and just keep in touch.

Many Instagram users are testing an app called Vero. This app can be download from Google Play or Apple Store for free. It is similar to Instagram, but free of ads and posts in chronological order. Let’s have a look at the core Vero characteristics.

The key features of the Vero app

• There are three ranges of contacts: “Close friends”, “Friends”, “Acquaintance”.
• Interesting information can be recommended.
• Data access level management.
• Publications/Posts can be organized by category (totally private, completely public, or shared with select sets of friends).

User journey within the Vero app

Below you can see the step by step journey that users should take to reach their goal. Let’s look at it in detail:

Sign up. Can register by adding your name, e-mail and a password (not less 6 signs), a phone number to be verified. By entering your phone number, you can let Vero access your contacts to see which friends are also on the app.

Find friends by searching Vero, sending e-mail or SMS. This step is also skippable, and you can connect with friends later. Once you are all signed up, you officially have a Vero account. A bio and an avatar can be added to your profile page. Featured Content page will be shown after registration.

First post share. You can post a wide range of different things: photos and videos, music, movies, books, links, and finally places. The icons along the top are for search, your user profile, collections (content that's shared with you), notifications, and chat. Once you have connections and start posting, your feed will appear here.
