Appics India Virtual Meetup #1

It was an awesome experience interacting with fellow Appics user's from India. We missed all those who couldn't make it, and hope to have another Virtual Meetup soon.
Participants:
Ajinkya Jagtap - @ajinkyajagtap
Ankur Aras - @cryptopossible
Gopinath Bathini - @gopinath9812

Points Discussed:

1. How long have we been using APPICS and how we were introduced - mostly through Steem & ICO.

1. Appics user experience - Currently the ios user experience is much better, and hope that Android user experience improves too. From the past 2 days the experience was seamless, but again the Server issues have come up.

1. Time spent using Appics - around 1-2 hours daily, mostly posting & engaging with users.

1. Onboarding New users - Currently, getting free accounts from Steemit is impossible and for the Indian market(users) it is very difficult to pay for a basic/premium Appics account. So there has to be a solution to this. A lot of new users are waiting to use the app, but they haven't yet received their confirmation emails from Steemit.

1. Posting to Hive - Currently Appics post's are only visible on Appics & Steemit, so the user's are eagerly waiting to postto Hive as well, when further updates come.

1. Idea's to Grow - @cryptopossible came up with a very good idea to tie up with a local NGO which helps in people getting jobs or those who are laid off from jobs. Such people who need some income and already use Instagram, can use Appics and have some passive income.
   But, for these people, waiting for 7 days + 13 weeks to withdraw Rewards becomes difficult.

1. Appics Independent Blockchain - all user's are eagerly waiting for our own Blockchain so we don't have to rely on others.

It was indeed a. Awesome experience interacting with my friends i made here on Appics, and we are planning to have more such Virtual Meet-ups regularly from now on!
