Step 1 of 17

Thumb is an app for getting opinions on things by posting a relative picture and asking people a relative question. What's great is you get real opinions from real people in real time. Amazingly fast.

Step 2 of 17

It can really be anything. For example imagine you're buying shoes and can't decide between the black pair and the white pair. Take a pic in the app and get people's opinion.

Or maybe take a picture of your pet and ask who thinks your pets as cute as you feel it is. Basically get opinions on anything you want to know or share.

As you can see in this image. I received 35 votes with in 5 minutes. That's what amazes me about this app. The speed in which real people reply.

Step 15 of 17

Watch this screen capture video and you'll see how fast the votes and comments come in. Just about every time I reloaded the page more votes and comments come in. Keep an eye on the vote count.

Step 16 of 17

In the vote section in the app. Go to the "Filter" at the top right corner and you can select or deselect different topics. See if that helps.

I tried this app but most of the stuff that came up to vote on was weird (even obnoxious) or of no interest to me, so I deleted the app. Any tips on ways to get a better stream of questions? I might give it a second try.
