Apple picker You may have heard about a new social network in an app called Path. What is it really about?
Maybe you've been looking for an app that lets you share absolutely everything with your loved ones. Your life, your daily activities and maybe also your joys and worries. If you have a family full of Apple devices, or friends who are willing to share their lives with you, then Path is the application for you.
What did I mean by sharing my life? Before you argue that I'm a few years late with this idea and that Facebook is already here for sharing personal lives, then hold on for a moment. You are right that it is just another social network. But just as there were many photo-sharing copycats with a few filters added when Instagram was first, this app is not just a means of sharing life. It will bring you to your knees with something else. It's not just about communication, showing where I'm eating, or what I'm listening to, or who I went to the movies with. The absolute bonus and the biggest positive 'plus' is that the application is a wonderful feast for the eyes.
Yes, this is the exact piece that you look at for a long time and think: 'how did they do this'.The app disarms you completely. It's exactly that moment when you think of the complicated sharing of statuses, photos or videos, and then you open this app and it gets under your skin. I think it's not hard to imagine Jony Ive as a collaborator, even if this isn't an Apple app.
You might be wondering why I'm praising the app's appearance so much when it can only do what we already know? I am an enthusiast of interior design, design of things, and the design of applications does not leave me cold either. As soon as I saw this app and its environment, I thought: I have to share this with others.
There isn't even a tutorial on how to use this app. You simply create your profile and then just thanks to the familiar "+" (this time in the lower left corner of the screen) you share from selected options and this can be listening to music, writing some wisdom (status), adding a photo, adding an activity you are doing with a specific person, updating your location, listening to music, and finally your routine – when you go to sleep and when you get up. Controlling these options is absolutely fast. At the same time, you can orient yourself in time. When you scroll down, you will see in what time frame you added posts. You can also simply comment on all posts or add smileys to evaluate the issue. The interesting thing is that after adding a photo, you can use several interesting filters.
If you know the controls, for example, from the new Facebook, where the bar is located on the side and you can easily move between posts and settings, your activity and the so-called home screen. On the other hand, you can add other people (from Contacts, Facebook or invite them by email) with whom you want to share everything about your life.
The app is basically Facebook for iOS. What is the difference? You can only run it on iOS devices for now, and for that you get a beautiful, ad-free, clean design and creative app. Do you think that is not enough? I will answer, yes it is. There isn't a very real chance that there will be a large number of people owning an iOS device. And use Path just for its beautiful design? This reason is really unimportant.
Do you know this app? Do you like her look? Do you think it will find use in so many social services or will it fall into oblivion?

I tried for about a month .. and checked it out .. it would have potential if it loaded FB wall, twitter feed and 4SQ check-ins .. then it would be perfect .. other than that it's just a nice app ..
Yeah. Admittedly, this is not an app that many people will use, and that's a shame. But if it were to spread to the other social networks, it would lose its idea. Of course, it would come at the cost of getting more people. Personally, it's perfect in terms of design, but I also haven't found a use for it.
I don't understand why the photo filters, not even on Instagram. You can't improve a bad photo with any filter, and a good photo doesn't need any filter to spoil it...
And this is why many people think that the filter is the right one. That it will improve a photo, which may be of poor quality, and make it a better experience.
How does it differ from Instagram? (if we ignore the design of the application itself)
The difference is that Instagram is only for taking pictures. Path for sharing everything - life.

Facebook?
Yes, you're right, it's a complete Facebook. But it's prettier, cleaner, and if all my friends had iOS or Android, I'd ditch fb and go to Path.
Hello, the app is amazing. I'd much rather use Path than FB. I only have FB for university or I would go away immediately.
Another page is that I have an android …. there is an app for android, but the resolution is so bad that it really irritates me (Samsung Galaxy Ace). I should have waited, saved up and got an iPhone. :)
PS for the author .. I am the same enthusiast for graphics, design, etc. like you. That's why I've included a link to our blog. Take a look .. maybe it will interest you and you will be a regular visitor. :)
Yes, she is great and beautiful. And it's a shame that there is so little awareness.
Another bonus, it's awesome that it's also available for Android.
Thanks, I'll take a look at it at home when I get back from vacation with relatives. Such an award is very gratifying and warms the heart.
And most importantly, the application is fast, loads data quickly, ... and really well thought out. The same cannot be said about the Facebook application. How I don't like her.
I had the new iPhone in my hand and it is really fast. Which cannot be said about my Samsung at all. It's a lazy schmuck...but what would I want for one crown?
A wonderful application. Since the update to version 2.0, the number of users has doubled from 1 million in the first year to 2 million, i.e. 1M in 2 months, and that is a very solid increase. I think it has a chance, it just needs more expansion.
It's not for the iPad, so I'm not even going to try the beauty on the flimsy iPhone. :(
I bought an iPhone 5 and so after a long time I opened this review again. Even after that time I didn't like Path. None of my friends have this app, only one friend. So we have such a social network for two people. Synchronization for FB, 4SQ, Instagram and Nike+ was also added. I think that even after a long time and a constant number of friends (one), it will remain in my iPhone.
