Given the immense popularity of its original series ‘Orange is the New Black,’ Netflix has launched a new mobile app cleverly titled ‘OITNA’ (Orange is the New App).
The show’s second season is now available in entirely; however, if you binge-watched the entire thing in 13 hours like I did and still need a fix, this app is just the thing. The photo-sharing application allows you to create customized cards with your own messages and images (think face-in-a-hole sort of thing). If you can’t think of your own message, fear not; several of the cards are filled with meme-worthy expressions, such as a shot of George ‘Pornstache’ Mendez (I’m not kidding, that’s what he’s listed as on IMDB), with his signature phrase "Hell Nope."
Once you’ve customized your card, you can share it across various social media platforms from Twitter to Facebook to WhatsApp.
