folsom feelings2.1.0 - App Store

folsom is the home for soulular connection. recently launched to earth, folsom is for staying close and getting closer with your friends and family - wherever you are on the soulular plane. here’s how that works:

- in a galaxy rife with loneliness, we encourage souls to share feelings - once a day, a couple of times a day, or just a couple of times a week

- if you’re having trouble identifying how you are feeling, write a sentence or two and then let AI expand your feelings vocabulary

- reflect your feelings by uploading a photo of your own or leverage AI to create a unique image, aptly representing your complex, nuanced emotions

- interact with your friends’ feelings; folsom is a kind and supportive community

- send love to friends, nurturing your relationships

- check-in with friends, letting them know that you’re thinking about them

- whether you consider yourself highly emotive and introspective or perhaps more guarded and restrained, your feelings matter. you belong on folsom
