'Vero,' meaning "truth," aims to set itself apart as a "revolutionary social network" and it is one that is challenging popular platforms by addressing common user concerns.
The app aims to make the experience of "sharing online more like real life" by offering ways for people to express their love of movies, books and photos in authentic ways. As well, the platform serves as a place for people to make purchases and listen to music without having to leave the app.
Users on Vero have the chance to organize their contacts by close friends, friends and acquaintances, ultimately giving them the power to control the content they share and who sees it. The app features no advertisements, algorithms and doesn't mine data from its users, making it an alluring network for savvy social media users.
