subscription model of offering exclusive features for a price. Once you sign up, you can use the following:Gives you an indicator of how many times someone's watched your storyFriend Solar System - gives you a chat of who's your closest friendsEach of these features are fun enough - I've changed the App Icon to a pride variant for example, while having a badge and 'pinning' my wife as a best friend contact helps for when we're sending snaps to one another.

However, Ghost Trails goes one step further with this, as it makes a yellow line appear by your friends, showing where they've been in the last 24 hours. This instantly made me uncomfortable.
