Tech troubles! After Khloe Kardashian was accused by astute social media observers of not downloading her sisters’ new apps, the reality star took to Twitter to defend herself on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
Khloe, 31, and her sisters Kim, Kourtney, Kylie, and Kendall, launched their eponymous official apps on Tuesday, and Kris Jenner‘s youngest daughter proved to be the most successful in terms of initial popularity.
Following the big launch, Khloe posted a screen grab of her app, along with Kim, Kylie, and Kendall’s, featured under the store’s top “Free” section. “Omg is this real?!?!” she tweeted. “I’m so grateful to you all!!!!!!!! God bless you!!! I love you Angels.”

However, many eagle-eyed observers saw that among the four featured apps, Khloe had only downloaded her own. The other three were still marked under the “Get” button, meaning they weren’t yet downloaded on her device. Naturally, critics blasted the fitness-focused star for not supporting her siblings, which prompted a follow-up response from Khloe.
For those of you saying that I didn’t buy my sisters apps… I already have them downloaded to my phone beta style. Duh we created them!!

All five sisters gave a tech talk at the Apple Store in NYC’s Soho on Monday, where they doled out some advice about good social media practices.
“Whatever you post is going to last for a long time,” Khloe said of the Internet. “So make sure you are going to stand by everything you’re posting, because your brand is a reflection of yourself.”
Kim, meanwhile, advised fans about how to engage their audience. “Be consistent and authentic,” the pregnant-again star noted.
