Bender and Brenda
For a couple of weeks, one of the applications to flirt from the homosexual community has given more than one shock and joy to its users. We refer to Bender in the scope gay, and to Brenda in the lesbian Applications that until a few days ago offered their services to find people of the same sex near the current location of the user, either as a mere tool social to meet new people or to establish sporadic relationships.In any case, a very widespread application that, without warning, disappeared from the main app stores
With this, new and old users who had uninstalled the application were astonished at the impossibility of using this application to flirt again. And it is that neither in Google Play, nor in App Store nor in Windows Phone Store the listed application appeared. However, the strangest of all is that the users who still had it installed on their smartphones continued to use it on a regular basis And not only that, but the functions Premium or paid had become completely free, allowing seeing the footprints or visits of other users to the profile, or allowing them to travel to any destination to contact local users. Something that made us suspect that the closing of the application was not final.
Finally, just a week ago, an ad began appearing on the home screen of apps. A most suspicious message that read “Hello wapo, what's up?”, accompanied by “coming soon”. After several days, the soon began to show a countdown that ended on February 13, the eve of Valentine's Day, with the reappearance of these applications as Wapo and Wapa instead of Bender andBrenda
These are applications renewed in terms of their visual appearance, but which follow the usage patterns of Bender and Brenda Thus, its operation remains identical, offering the profiles of users who are located near the user's positionto be able to consult them and start talking to themHowever, its aesthetic change offers a more fluid and attractive user experience, emphasizing the platform Android the Material Design style proposed by Google, with buttons consisting only of icons, without boxes, and with a circular button in the lower right corner where options such as filters, favorite users, trips, etc. are concentrated. Of course, its operation is still not very reliable, eventually preventing access to chats or fingerprints.
In addition, the Premium or paid options are still free, at least for now. With this, users can take advantage of these features to visit other places, meet people from all over the world and always know who has visited their profile.All this with ten spaces for photos in the profile, the possibility of marking preferred users as favorites and the option to send photos and videos
In short, a change of appearance that seeks to give a new boost to this application. We have contacted those responsible to find out more details about this strategy and to find out if there has been a transfer of the application and user data. In any case, Wapo is already available for download free through Google Play and App Store Same as Wapa through Google Play and App Store At the moment its absence is maintained on the platform Windows Phone.
