[Nazgar]

Hey, is there a roadmap or any information about the development of feature. I am wondering why the android app for examble was updated on 23.10.2017?
In general it is awesome to get a early access to the platform but I was expecting some releases.

Of course, the roadmap is available of the official website https://sphere.social, just scroll down to the middle of the page.
I think in the meantime they were working on the browser version of the platform, but since it's already released, we can probably expect new app releases.

You can find the answer on the whitepaper page 4-5, good luck.

Browser version is essential and can increase membership numbers but i think they should check the mobile apps occasionally for updates. as you mentioned after the release of browser version, mobile versions can get upgrades. they can divert some manpower to mobile side.

When I used to use Facebook (in Facebook's early days) it wasn't polished either they only improved it overtime and took several years to become what it is now

Of course, you always have to improve and put in new features otherwise your social media network will day as user will just move to the next one with better features.

A good platform will do regular update/upgrade to meet the need of the users and to make the platform more secure. No perfection comes suddenly.

Generally, the devs have to learn the mistakes made by opponents and create the errorless platform based on the previous experience. That's the fastest way to enter the market effectively

ICO ends on 26th February or this is ends of 1st round only?

1st round only, its written on their site.
And Period of Sale: 12 February 2018 UTC 21:00 to 9 April 2018 UTC 21:00 

it's gonna take a long time for this sale to end. I'm really curious about how the price of this token will do after the ICO.

There will be four rounds for the token sale. The first one will end in around two days while the token sale will end at April, 9th. Each round has different bonuses as I know.

Rounds usually have different bonuses being the first rounds those that have the highest bonus to attract investors.

now they have around 45% bonus. and they already achieved their soft target so that's great.

these are excellent news soft cap already reached and a good bonus to invest now (45%)in these two day that are remaining, i see that the good advertising continues https://icotop.io/en/project/sphere-social/...

This is really good news, now you can not worry about the success of the project. I am sure that sales will only increase now!

With this, yes, I agree, but to be interesting and attract new users, you must always increase the available functions and constantly upgrade your product.

I think the project needs to reflect on the bounty of the companies on Twitter and Facebook. This will help to raise people's interest in this project!

This ICO round ends in couple of days, the sale slowed down. The fact that they reached the soft cap and already exceeded it is great, but are they doing any marketing at the moment in order to boost sales a bit more? There are three more ICO rounds...

Exactly, basically there's no ready platform, it has to remain interesting for your existing users as well as attract new ones. This can only be done by constantly improving and adding new features.

Sure, and that's the case - they should always continue with their main goal, meanwhile adding something new and interesting. Just set the priorities and everything becomes very clear

The platform is not quite finished but almost ready.

Soft cap is the only important thing for ICO investors. If the ICO doesn't reach the Hard cap there is more room to grow.

It was never and it is not a good social network. If you look for a specific topic, you will never find it. All settings are hidden, safety is a joke.
The principle is easy, they collect as many data as possible from you and make it hard for you or for people who want to scan or collect the date to get them. Thats the reason for the completely insane structure there. Hope sphere is not only copying facebook, because they can do many things much better.

Sounds good that they are working on browsers versions. Thanks for that information.
Than I also understand that they develop the same features on mobile platforms. I think especially at the beginning the gabs of the platform can be different. Later there are smaller changes an nearly at the same time on all platforms

But the platform can already be used, right? What do you mean by "there's no ready platform yet"? Surely they gonna improve some features, add new ones maybe, but there is an app, there is a browser version already, that's a product, a bit rare, but it's definitely more than majority of projects out there have.

If it does not reach the soft cap will the investors be reimbursed or continue with the project? Will the unsold tokens be burned?

Yep, Facebook is a phenomenon - it was first and it has got unbelievable good marketing team

It's good that the project is based on blockchain technology. This immediately makes it transparent) much more confidence and a sense of security of your investments
