Hi @sushil_balami > [@sushil\_balami](#): > > Can we create a movie app Not for this challenge, but in the future - who knows? 🙂 * * * > [@sushil\_balami](#): > > Social app means. ? Only like connecting world through communication ? Pretty much, yeah! Anything that allows your users to communicate with one another, so that could be voice, text or images. Take a look at Simran’s blog post, linked above, which has some examples that we’ve built already. ---

Yes, anything that allows you users to communicate with one another (any sort of social interaction) is perfect. If you take a look at our sample app you will see that we drew inspiration from Snapchat and Instagram. ---

Hey @eoinparkinson! Sure, as long as your app has some capability for users to interact and connect with one another, it will count. You can take a look at our sample app, [SnapGram](https://thunkable.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=20a74cc1324aed55321a52f9a&id=7709e5670f&e=dc8ec2c312), for some inspiration. We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with! ---
