We launched Volv a few years ago, and we’re so thrilled by the response we have gotten till date - 50 MILLION stories swiped, we got backed by Snapchat, and we're back with more! Quick refresher on why we built Volv - It's extremely overwhelming to stay updated with newsletters, podcasts, social media debates, news, trending topics on 15 different platforms. We reimagined the future of media by adapting to how our generation wants to consume content - a social news app that gives you the most interesting, viral, and breaking content in 1 place in 9 second stories. Users call us "Tiktok for smart people". Biggest revelation - our users use Volv instead of social media to discover new content and newsletters that they would’ve never read otherwise. Now we’re launching a whole new Volv for writers. Over the past few months, we have been inundated with inbound requests from large media houses and hundreds of newsletters to publish on Volv to capture new audiences. Onboarding publications has always been part of the vision. But after this influx of demand, we have been speeding up development to capture this massive opportunity to launch Creator channels on Volv. And to support that we’ve created Volv Enterprise, a suite of AI tools to help writers go ‘intelligently viral.’ - AI summarization to convert your content into a 9-sec read - AI Recommendation tool to push your content to readers interested in your niche As a writer, you really don't have to do much work. Writers, you finally have a platform to go intelligently viral and unlock new readership. Writers, your future readers are waiting. Sign up here: volvmedia.com/open-waitlist Readers, download Volv and use our special PH code to access a free month of Volv Premium. Skip ads and access premium features like text-to-speech, timeline, and more.

This is amazing. Although I am quite afraid about AI's accuracy on news content, I think its a great platofrm to replace doom scrolling Tiktok and instagram! Congrats on the launch team!

Hey everyone! We're so excited for you to try out Volv - don't forget that we have an exclusive PH code for readers: PHVOLV. And remember that the code expires in 48 hours! If you're a writer, have a newsletter or a publication, and want to start publishing on Volv, here's the link where you can sign up! volvmedia.com/open-waitlist This team has been killing it for the past few months to launch all these new features. We can't wait for everyone to experience the new Volv.

Couple of feedback - 1. When I tapped the login button, it automatically popped a contacts permission prompt! a. "Login" flow should not be asking contacts permission. b. You might have a reasoning saying "easily share with your friends", but that's a very weak reasoning to justify data hoarding. Yes, I can deny that permission and still use the app. But knowing that the app has such tendencies makes me not trust the app. 2. Phone number as the only option for account creation -> that's a no go for me. Coupled with the point #1, it's not looking good.

This Creators channel will make writers' lives so much easier with the help of AI. Congrats on the huge update!

This is actually awesome. So much potential in this space, excited to see how this evolves. Congrats on the (re)launch!

Congratulations on the launch! What are the options for the audience to give feedback on the content? Are there any likes or comments available? If so, it would be interesting to see if the likes would be simply hidden so people can focus on the content itself but not interactions with it. Thanks!

Congrats on your launch 🚀 just dowloaded the app and currently giving a try! Some notes though: 1- I'd much rather seeing a date on the piece/news that I'm reading, as in when it is published.. without that, I cannot be sure how old is the piece.. 2- I believe pricing should be dependent to where you're based. It would be much accessible globally. I'm a user from Turkey, and it is hard to imagine any widespread usage from the non-western world. Widespread usage of the platform would be great! 3- I know it is a new launch, however I couldn't find any content relating to my field/interest: arts and culture. Still, hope to see its growth! 🌸

I use Volv everyday :) As I deleted social media it helps me stay up to date with the world without having to get caught up in doomscrolling.

Hi there. Want to know what happens after the premium (free) month. I mean what limitations has the app on (free) mode, and which is the pricing (not in te page). Regards and congrats!! (Android here)

I'm so excited to use the creator channel! I've been following Volv for years as an avid reader! But as an aspiring writer, journalist and news geek, I cant believe you've created a platform for US! I'm already on the waitlist, it's going to be so great to see my articles launched on the app. You've created a new platform for us writers, thank you thank you thank you!

I love Volv!! Have been using it as one of my main sources to get caught up on news these past 2 years.

Great app, tells me everything I need to know. And now we're getting creators' POV, too, directly. Very exciting!

Congratulations on launching Creators on Volv! 🎉 a huge step forward for writers everywhere. Not only will it make their lives easier but it'll give them the chance to be discovered! 🙌

Volv is a great app for anyone who's interested in learning about the world. The straightforward, no-nonsense, non-flashy content is a real standout. It's truly one of a kind!

Volv has been a go-to app for me always! Also this is such a good launch and a great way to discover talented writers and amazing content.!

Volv has been my go-to app for quite some time now. News, digs, discourse, newsletters, everything in one place - can't get better than this!

Congrats on an incredible launch, Priyanka and Shannon! I'm so excited about your thoughtful use of AI and personalization. Kudos for continuing to drive meaningful innovation!

Simplicity wins! Love the concept!

I appreciate the focus on short, impactful content. The idea of delivering news and trends in 9-second bites seems perfect for busy readers who want to stay informed quickly.
