1. Service Overview
So Now - Stream Simulator is a practice and simulation tool that lets you experience going live without actually broadcasting. The App uses your device's front camera to display a real-time preview, layered with simulated chat, viewer counts, floating reactions, themed layouts, and a points-and-achievements progression. Nothing is streamed, recorded, or shared with any platform or audience. Every interaction in the App is simulated and produced locally on your device.
2. Eligibility and Use
By using So Now, you confirm that you are legally able to agree to these Terms and that you will use the App in line with applicable laws. The App is intended for personal, non-commercial use as a streaming practice and entertainment tool. You must be at least 13 years old (or the applicable age of digital consent in your region) to use it.
3. Simulation Disclaimer
So Now provides a simulated streaming experience only. Please understand:
- No real broadcasting: your camera preview appears only on your device. No video or audio is transmitted to any server, platform, or audience.
- No real viewers: viewer counts are randomly generated numbers. No real people are watching.
- No real chat: messages are generated from preset templates and handles. No real users are typing.
- No real competitors: leaderboard streamers and challenge opponents are fictional characters with preset statistics.
- No monetary value: Streaming Points, daily bonuses, viewer boosts, streaks, unlocked themes, and emoji packs are in-app engagement features with no real-world or cash value and cannot be exchanged for money.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the service. Prohibited behavior includes:
- Attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the App
- Using the App in a way that breaks applicable laws or regulations
- Redistributing, sublicensing, or commercially exploiting the App
- Using automated tools to manipulate points, unlocks, or extract data
- Presenting the simulated experience as a real live broadcast to mislead others
5. Your Data
Your profile, session history, Streaming Points, achievements, unlocked items, streaks, daily rewards, and preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not access or sell that content. You are responsible for your device's security and the data held within the App.
Profile photos you take or select are saved locally and never transmitted. The camera preview during a practice stream is shown in real time and is not recorded or stored. Limited analytics, attribution, and push-notification services are described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Device Permissions
So Now may request access to your camera, microphone, photo library, notifications, and tracking. These are used solely for the App's simulation, profile, messaging, and attribution features. Camera and microphone are used for real-time preview only — no recording occurs. All permissions can be revoked anytime in your device Settings. Declining a permission disables only the related feature and does not affect the rest of the App.
7. Points, Unlocks & Competition
The App includes a progression system: you earn Streaming Points from practice sessions, unlock achievements, and spend points in the Store on accent colors and emoji packs. You can also challenge fictional streamers in battle mode and appear on a local leaderboard. These features exist to make practice more engaging and carry no real-world monetary value. Points, unlocks, and rankings reflect only your in-App activity.
