Bang With Friends: Behind the Scenes With This Controversial App
Posted on May 27, 2013
GEEKWIRE – Colin Hodge and Omri Mor created Bang With Friends (BWF), an app designed to connect Facebook friends for casual hookups. Launched in January 2013, BWF quickly gained 1.1M users and facilitated 200K matches. The app's straightforward approach eliminates awkwardness, showing users their Facebook friends who are interested in casual sex. Despite its rapid success, BWF faced challenges, including removal from Apple's App Store and privacy concerns. The founders maintained anonymity initially to focus on the app's growth without distraction. Now rebranded as Down, the app continues to evolve and expand its features.
