Betrayal is a strong word to hang on a friendly green app icon. The picked lock hints at what the betrayal cost people. You use WhatsApp every day, so the charge lands close to home and you need the story behind it.

Title
The title promises the money story behind a free app, a puzzle in itself.
Thumbnail

Remix this
