Currently, a new social app is produced almost daily. There are countless Instagram or Snapchat clones available for download on the App Stores. Most of these apps, despite the funds sunk into their development, never gain traction since they don’t bring anything new or useful to the drawing board. This, however, does not seem to be the case with ‘Chatkazam’, a new social app, which offers a number of refreshingly, original concepts.
Chatkazam combines the usual social media type interaction with a fully featured chat application, which means that not only can you discover what your friends or family are up to, you can communicate with them via text or phone call directly from within the app. This facility makes it easier than using separate messaging services, which are generally attached rather than integrated.
This new social app is also a location based service. The app features a functional ‘What’s Happening Board’. The latter means that users can find out what’s going on according to the area they are in. All posts are accessible, so that users can discover information posted even if they don’t follow the post’s originator. This innovation is what Chatkazam believes, truly makes the app stand out in the sea of social media wannabes, since people wanting to find out where to go & what to do in a town or area they’re visiting, will find this feature very useful.
Additionally, the folks at Chatkazam have thought up a clever method of utilizing the platform for advertising. They offer an easy to use promotional tool for businesses & non-profit organizations, who want to reach app users by posting special offers & product information on-app. This, they feel, is a win, win, situation as users will be presented with relevant location based information & companies will gain new business.
This new social app offers image & video uploads, which can be added to posts or messages, as well as cute sticker-sets to spruce up uninteresting posts. The app is free to download & use & facilitates inviting friends & family to participate, as well as the ability to accept any invitations sent. Chatkazam is available as an Android or iOS app.
