Honestly is an anonymous polling app that allows users to ask for feedback from their friends on everything from their intelligence to their kissability.
Much like the Tinder interface, the Honestly app invites the users' Facebook friends to answer yes/no questions by swiping left or right. If a friend answers "yes," they are given the option of revealing their identity to the user. To ensure that the app remains a positive space, it only calculates the affirmative answers, which are then aggregated in bar or pie chart form and displayed in the Reality Check screen.
The app further encourages positive feedback by awarding "yes" answers with stars. The more stars a user accumulates within the polling app, the more questions they can unlock in the Cards Shop.
