I’ve had an eye on Appics since it was announced but the soft launch signup e-mail I received gave me some hesitation. This paragraph unnerved me a bit...
Note - the Steemit account is only needed because our blockchain protocol is still under development since we are in Beta. Once the App publicly launches early 2019, you will have a separate APPICS account with an easy log-in!
I’m afraid they may be going off Steem or creating their own fork like Golos, Smoke, etc. It’s understandable given SMT delays. While I’m not averse to trying other apps (I played around with Sola & Ono a bit) I prefer to keep focused on Steem based apps and will wait to dive into Appics until the direction is more clear.
Idk , I'd say use the app as a Instagram clone and grow a following there... So when the transition does happen, you are ahead of the curve and have some appics points? ** shrugs ** who knows tho. LoL
Yeah... you’re probably right... I think I’m just too lazy to juggle multiple social medias! 😄
I'm just treating it as a drop in Instagram replacement, which I will regularly uninstall and reinstall a week or more later for a few weeks. But a much better option as it's on my steem account, and will hopefully remain there if smt's come out ever. LoL

hmmm that's a fair point. I met the whole Appics team at Steemfest and they seem pretty excited about using the Steem blockchain for their app... but I guess you never really know.
One thing that gives me some hope is that they do have a decent amount of SP invested into their account (not delegated)... which means they've staked their own funds into Steem in order to help the app be more successful. I think that's a good sign.
