I think this is a great app and an interesting idea, but one of the few projects where I could see the name being a problem for traction and success. A more generic name, which doesnt associate neccessarily with parties and drinking, would enable more people to take this app serious.
And well, like for all social apps, I really hope that more plattforms are very close on your roadmap =)
Why wasnt a web-based approach with the opportunity to compile down to hybrid-apps not an option?
Good luck anyway, hope to see you successful, since I really like the idea =)

Before I clicked the link and watched the video, my first thought was that it was something related to AA or sobriety in general. I can see how this may be a problem for traction and for people telling their friends about it. Until someone explains how it works a large number of people may think the name relates to addiction.

The color scheme of black and gold adds on to that inebriated vibe. A more generic name might appeal to a broader audience, unless your app is indeed targeted at the party and drinking crowd.
Many thanks for pointing out the name part. The android version should be soon released, targeted this September.
Call it Vibes.
The social network for sex toys.
Drop the s, just Vibe. It's cleaner
