24 alternatives to Boop – Self destructing animating text messages
http://boopapp.com/ I made boop with a friend; an experimental ephemeral messaging app. Here's the official explanation I wrote: Boops are self destructing animated text messages. Boops display one word at a time, so the recipient can’t screenshot them. Throw in emoji and you can create animations called Boopmations. Have fast, back and forth private animated text chats with anyone. Boops delete themselves as soon as you read them, so there’s no history of your private chats.
