Features & Capabilities

Soapstone is reverse geotagging. Rather than tagging a post with a location, tag a location with a message! Others with the app can read your message, but only if they're close enough to where it was written.

Soapstone uses a phrase builder that allows you to create a wide variety of phrases. Leave one at your best friends house ("simpleton ahead"), your local city library ("silence therefore stealth required ahead"), on top of a mountain ("I did it!"), or at your favorite coffee shop ("Hurrah for artisan!"). You can even attach a picture to your message taken at the location.

You can rate other messages up or down, and you will receive a notification if one of your messages has been rated up by another user.

Soapstone is entirely anonymous, no account is necessary.

User Reviews

Users praise Soapstone for its nostalgic Dark Souls-inspired concept and the fun, lightweight feature of leaving messages in the real world, including the photo option. However, reliability is a major issue, with servers often offline, posts not appearing, and location accuracy being inconsistent. Many want more active development and a larger user base to enrich the experience, but the core idea and charm keep attracting fans who hope for renewed activity.
Pros
  • Nostalgic Dark Souls-inspired concept that resonates with fans
  • Fun core mechanic of leaving messages in real-world locations
  • Lightweight, approachable way to leave quick notes or reviews for places
  • Photo functionality enhances the experience and adds visual appeal
  • Positive fan engagement and word-of-mouth interest
Cons

  • App appears inactive or broken since 2018 with limited or no updates
  • Content is sparse in some areas, limiting the experience

This app, like so many good things, has become part of the past. There is much to love in the future still, but nostalgia stings sweetly.
