A Survey...

Hello there! I'm conducting an unofficial survey regarding Retrospec. It's not mandatory, but considering the strange events we've been experiencing, it would be wise for me to know how many users are affected to this. The survey is down below and it is okay if you don't fill out the form below.

1. When did you first obtain the Retrospec app?

2. Did you try to uninstall this app?

3. Have you tried showing this app to anyone other than the users?

4. Have you receive a package from Retrospec?

5. Did you experience a strange event related to this app?

6. Have you met some Retrospec users in person?

I can't tell you the reasons for putting up this survey, but if you want, you can just reply to me about your experiences in this app without filling out the survey form above me.

Thank you in advance!

Why the secrecy about the survey? Isn't that scientifically illegal? Don't you have to disclose what all surveys and experiments are for, or else it's unethical?

You're still asking for information from me without explaining what you're using it for. That still counts as unethical.

And if you're that worried about Retrospec slamming down the banhammer on you for it, we can always take this off-app. But I'm not answering your survey until I know what this is for.

Alright, sounds legit. You pass the test.

[ At no point was this a test. ]

Here's your answers:

1. Earlier this month, around March 7th or so.

2. It's the first damn thing I tried. It deleted, but then it just reinstalled again automatically. Probably ate up a ton of my data doing it, too.

3. Just tried showing it to my sister, she says all she sees is my phone's home screen, even though I have it opened to this post right now. I didn't even know that could happen.

4. No. I'm hoping I never will.

5. You mean besides horses no longer existing and my fruit smiling at me while I eat it? Yeah, I had this weird mental image pop into my head a few days back. More like a full scene, actually. I don't know how to describe it. At least, I'm assuming it's related to this app, because I don't see what else it could possibly be.

6. Nope. Or if I have, then I didn't notice. I'm not exactly opening my conversations with "hey do you also have this crazy app on your phone that nobody else can see?"

Hey, far as I can tell, you're clean. I don't have any beef with you.

Hell, I think this survey's a good idea. But I'm suspicious of all this stuff on the app just like you are, I'm not just gonna open up when there's so much weird crap happening around it.

Sure. I don't know that 'investigating' is really the right word for it, but that works.

No, I'm just gonna keep all of it to myself so no one ever knows what the hell's going on.

[ ...on second thought, sarcasm over the internet is hard, so he adds on: ]

No duh I'm going to share whatever I find out. If I find anything out in the first place.
