Problem
People often struggle to get honest, timely feedback from their personal or professional circles, as direct questions can feel awkward and responses are frequently delayed or filtered. This leaves individuals without a clear sense of how they come across, hindering personal growth and self-awareness.
Solution
Opinionly is a mobile app that lets users post questions to people who know them, with the asker's name visible but replies kept anonymous. This asymmetry encourages candid, constructive feedback that is delivered while the context is still fresh, helping users gain actionable insights. The app emphasizes growth over scorekeeping, framing feedback as "water" for personal goals, and ensures that all insights remain private to the user. It is designed for small, everyday moments, such as a conversation that felt off or a message you were unsure about, providing real answers quickly.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals seeking personal and professional self-improvement through candid feedback from their existing social circles, including friends, family, and colleagues. The app also offers a separate product for employers to gather anonymous feedback from their workforce.
