Quickie is a lightning fast messaging app for the wearable era

  People aren’t really interested in buying fitness trackers or smartwatches yet (http://fortune.com/2015/01/07/what-do-consumers-want-better-batteries-not-wearables/), but a killer product with must-have apps could turn that around. We’re still waiting for a great wearable, but in the meantime, a new service called Quickie (https://getquickie.com/) is getting in front of the first wave of apps made for the wearable age.</p><p>
Quickie is so fast that it sometimes the app sends your message before you’re done writing it. You text, draw, create GIFs of your voice, or record voice messages and send them instantly. There’s no time for editing or hesitation, much like in a real conversation. Your recipient has time only to glance at your message before it disappears. If your note goes unopened, it’ll stick around 24 hours before vanishing. (And it's too fast to screenshot, if that's a concern.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2872089/quickie-is-a-lightning-fast-messaging-app-for-the-wearable-era.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
