Since it is an invite only app for now, you should ask a friend with the app to invite you to a group to gain access.  But the question now is, whether the average consumer would like to use it.

As you can expect from any modern app, the Squirrel app also supports file sharing.  This ranges fro photos, and documents, to website links.   But it will make you wonder if there is still enough room for a new messaging app.  There is also the issue of privacy which is a huge hurdle for Yahoo to overcome.
