SODA app - Make new friends - how to use? Full overview

There's a new app making waves in the social networking world called Soda. But what exactly is it and why are people unhappy about it? It seems that Soda is replacing the popular Wink app, as evidenced by the similar logos. Wink was known as an alternative to Tinder, allowing users to swipe through profiles, chat, and message others. However, Soda takes a different approach, focusing primarily on random video chat.

Upon opening the Soda app, you'll find yourself in a world of random video chatting. You have the option to create your own avatar, customizing its appearance and details – a feature similar to other apps on the market. Once you've set everything up, you can begin chatting and will be matched with someone for a random audio chat using your avatar.

The app also offers a profile section where you can customize your details. Upgrading options are available, including a three-month plan for $25, a one-month plan for $10, or a one-week plan for $4.99. You can input your name, age, and even link your Snapchat account. Additionally, you can set your search preferences and choose whether you only want to meet verified profiles.

Concerns and criticisms have arisen regarding the sudden shift from Wink to Soda. Some users are not happy with the change and have voiced their discontent through negative reviews. One common complaint is the absence of text-based chat features, as not everyone feels comfortable with video calls. The demand for the return of Wink is loud and clear.

Despite these complaints, both Wink and Soda apps can still be found in the App Store. It remains unclear whether Wink will be completely deleted or if it will continue to coexist with Soda. It's worth noting that when creating an account on Soda, you automatically create one on Wink as well, making it an interconnected ecosystem.

If you have any thoughts or insights on this new app and its possible impact on Wink's future, be sure to leave your comments. The App Store is awaiting your opinion.
