Secret, the iOS app for anonymously sharing secrets, will expand soon. The app, which is currently only available in the U.S., will be rolling out to users in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. “Secret is coming soon to the UK, Ireland and Oz,” the company tweeted Monday. A TechCrunch report later revealed that New Zealand would also be among the first countries to get the app outside the U.S.
Secret – the iOS app that lets you share confessions, rumors, complaints and praise with your wider circle of friends without attaching your name to it– has captured the eye of early adopters in the US tech world. Now, with $10 million in funding behind it, Secret is going to test the waters for how it will fare in the wider word, with the app opening up this week to its first international markets and an Android launch on the horizon. Secret’s first moves outside of the U.S. will be to several English-speaking countries – namely the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Meanwhile, the Android launch also is still coming up but there are plenty of hints that it’s also imminent — or in the words of Chrys Bader-Wechseler, who co-founded the startup with David Byttow, Android is “well along and on the way.”
