Tap is a new storytelling app from Wattpad that reminds of a text-based adventure game in the way that it lets "addictive chat stories" unfold through messenger-based dialogue bubbles. Watching story develop in this way feels like listening in on someone's private conversation.
As the name of the app suggests, all a user needs to do in order to to see the story unfold before their eyes is to tap the screen. So far, there are already tons of stories to discover through Tap across genres like romance horror, drama and more.
While visuals are often a large part of storytelling, this app challenges convention, and aims to captivate young audiences by telling stories in the way that they communicate most often with their peers.
