Move over Facebook and Twitter, there's a new social networking app that's flavour of the month. An app called Peach that lets users share messages with GIFs, drawings and more, is rapidly rising up the App Store charts. While there are plenty of messaging apps already out there, Peach lets you use 'magic' words to send interactive content such as a photo, add a weather forecast or send a star rating, for example. This stops users having to scroll through a list of commands in a menu, much liking searching for an obscure emoji. The iOS app was created by Dom Hoffman, the founder of video app Vine which was bought up by Twitter in October 2012. The company explained in its App Store description: 'Peach is a refreshingly fun and simple way to keep up with friends and be yourself. 'Share tiny updates as you go through your day. Posting is as easy as texting "with a twist".' Peach has swiftly entered the top 10 social networking sites listed on the US app store, at number nine, TechCrunch reported, and is currently ranked 24th in the UK. It borrows and combines features from other social networks. For example, it lets users send notifications like sending a 'wave' or 'cake' in a similar way to people poke each other on Facebook. It also shows a user's activity on a homescreen, similar to Facebook's 'wall', that allows friends to 'like' or comment on posts. Users of Peach can add 'Magic words' to messages to insert photos and weather updates, for example. To use them, they start typing one of the words below then tap a 'bubble' to activate it. These are a list of some of the current magic words in use: gif - search for a GIF here - add current location shout - say something in capitals draw - draw something using a pop-up doodle pad song - identify a song with your phone's microphone, like Shazam rate - share a star rating weather - add current weather in your location move - share steps you have taken safari - open your phone's browser to searh for and add a link dice - roll the dice movie/tv/game/book - add favourites to share
