It’s with sincere gratitude and a measure of wistful sadness that we announce this is the last planned update to Socialite. After more than four years of development, our small team realizes we must focus efforts elsewhere. Beginning with this release, all Socialite content will be free.
Of course, we do have one last, fabulous set of new content! In honor of Valentine’s Day, we bring you Conversation Hearts & Bones, a huge set of 80 candy heart images plus 40 bones in the same style, each with a sweet species-appropriate message.
As is the case with all our apps, Socialite has been made with love by the Apparent Software team. We hope you continue to enjoy, and Happy Valentine’s Day!
