mi:nu:ti:ae 

This app is a rather meaningful application to encourage you to capture the rawest and authentic moments in your life. Without the glamour or edit before capturing a moment, this app aka the "anti-social media app". 

Most people want to look good and forgot about their authentic self. Some touch-up, edit, the filter will always be incorporated before posting a photo. It is just a photo and it's meant to capture the moment but social media has glorified it in a bad way.

Once a day, at a random minute, all minutiae participants around the globe receive an alert simultaneously. You have exactly one minute to respond to the alert and open the app. Then, you take a photo in front of you regardless of what it is. Whether you are reading a book, walking along the streets, capture the exact moment that you are going through. 

You will also get a glimpse of a stranger's moment if both of you share the same timing. Then, you will get 60 seconds to explore your previous moments. After doing it for 1440 days, you will have the option to choose to make your archive into a physical book. 

*A reminder to go to setting to off the sound of the notification as it happened randomly which means it could be during your sleeping hours.

This is the editor's favourite app between these apps because it is such a great app to have in your phone. Have you encountered a situation where you don't know what else to say in a conversation? This app comes in handy to keep the conversation alive regardless of who are you with. 

This app provides different sets of questions for you to use depending who are you meeting. Such as first date, lovers, siblings, friends and ex-couple. It has a lot of open-ended such as, 'what do you love about our relationship?', 'when do you feel closest to me?', 'when was the last time you cried?'. It is designed for users to have a deep conversation by using their app. 

However, you do need to pay for this app. The Goodymy editor was convinced to purchase this app after watching their documentary. In their documentary, you could see people open up and connected in such a deeper level. It is worth to sacrifice RM7.90 which is a cup of bubble tea to buy this app at the time. Currently, you could download the app for free yet if you want to play the game you need a diamond credit to play. You have 3 free credits at first but afterwards, you need to top up the credit to play.

*The Goodymy editor actually bought two decks of their game cards, shipping from the US, because it's so much fun to play with.
