Redesign of Mobile App Now Available to All iPhone and Android Users
NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, announced today that it set a new daily record yesterday for
the number of user-to-user chats. For the first time in MeetMe’s
history, more than 20 million chats were sent on a single day.
“We doubled our number of chats from 10 million to 20 million in just
six months. It took us nine years to reach 10 million chats and then
only six months to reach 20 million,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe.
“We’ve never seen higher engagement on the MeetMe platform. I believe
the new redesign of the MeetMe mobile app will help us drive growth even
further. We released the redesign to a limited number of users earlier
this month. Today it is available to all iPhone and Android users.”
In the new design, potential chat partners are displayed as a user
initially enters the app, thus making it easier to find someone to chat
with. Additionally, tabs replace “drawer”-style menus and help users
easily and instantly switch between features as well as receive
notifications.
