Bio interview
We write your bio from a short interview, so your profile sounds like you in the room.

Install
How do I install the Velvet Ties app?
Tap Open in TestFlight on your iPhone. It opens Apple's TestFlight app, which is how Apple shares beta builds.
What if I do not have TestFlight yet?
Apple will send you to the App Store to install TestFlight first. It is free. After it is installed, come back to this page and tap the same TestFlight link again. The second tap adds Velvet Ties.
What if I already have TestFlight?
You will skip straight to an Install button for Velvet Ties. Tap Install and let the app finish downloading.
Can I install it from a laptop?
The TestFlight install flow works best from your iPhone. If you opened this page on desktop, send the link to your phone and open it there.
Sign in
How do I sign in once the app is installed?
Open Velvet Ties, tap "I have an account", and enter the same email you used for your membership.
Which email should I use?
Use your membership email. That is how your private app access is connected to the reviewed member account.
What if the app does not recognize my email?
Email dg@velvetties.com or WhatsApp (646) 708-0072. Include the email you used for membership so Daniella can check access.
Phase 1
What should I expect from Phase 1?
Phase 1 is intimate: a small group of early members, a few rough edges, and a direct line to Daniella when something feels off. Your feedback shapes what ships next.
Is this the final version of the app?
No. This is the private beta. The point is to get real members into the system early so the app can learn from actual profiles, events, feedback, and follow-through.
How long should setup take?
About a minute if TestFlight is already installed. If you need to install TestFlight first, it may take a little longer, but the same link gets you back to Velvet Ties.
Beta feedback
How do I report a bug?
Use the iPhone beta feedback flow: screenshot the screen where you spotted the bug, tap the share icon, then choose Share Beta Feedback. It sends straight to Daniella with the screenshot attached.
What if the issue is not easy to screenshot?
Send a short note to dg@velvetties.com or WhatsApp (646) 708-0072. Include what you tapped, what you expected, and what happened instead.
Where do general questions go?
For app setup, beta access, or anything that feels off, email dg@velvetties.com or WhatsApp (646) 708-0072. For general Velvet Ties questions, email velvet@velvetties.com.
