Volt Apps · Case Study

Connect

Volt's own social app, built on one idea: the best posts are the ones you make with somebody else.

The Challenge

Most social apps reward posting alone and scrolling alone, and the people you actually spend time with barely show up in the feed.

The app needed a format that only works with two people, an invite that reaches a friend whether or not they have the app yet, and a way to find the conversations happening in your own city.

What We Built

Connect is one of Volt's own products, built and run in house rather than for a client. Volt built the two photo post format, the invite flow, city discussions, direct messages, and live streaming.

The Outcome

Connect turns posting into something two friends do together, and it works in cities across the United States. It is live on Google Play.
