You set the image to last anywhere between one and ten seconds.

And yes, you can take a screen shot of the image but the person who sent it will get a notification saying that it was screenshot.

I think the main appeal is just for nudes, really. I've never used it in any way that resembles an in-person conversation. I check it sort of absent mindedly at this point...people send pictures of them doing usually trivial stuff and I occasionally respond with pictures of me doing the same. I don't think you're missing much.
