Pikichat is a simple, yet silly photo sharing app that's similar to Snapchat, but different in the sense that conversations with groups revolve around the last photo to be sent. After inviting some friends to the app, you have the option to start a chat with text, or interact with one another by drawing on that image. Within the app, you're able to create a number of different groups, so that you can send different photos to your close friends than you might share with the members of that sports team you play on.
The Pikichat app was coded by two French engineers within just a week, which is pretty impressive considering how intuitive the app is for sharing photos with a group.
