MeetMe Launches New Design of Mobile App

MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, has begun to rollout a major redesign of the MeetMe mobile app. The new design is currently available to a limited number of users and is expected to be available to all users by the end of the month.

“We believe the improvements we made to Chat earlier this year continue to drive growth,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Q3 average mobile DAU is 888,000, up 6% vs. Q2 and up 15% vs. Q1 of this year. September was our single best chat month ever, averaging 15.7 million daily chats across the MeetMe platform. In late June we announced a record-high 15 million chats in a single day. Our average day now exceeds the record day we reported only three months ago. We believe our app redesign will further drive quality chats on behalf of our users.”

“The early results of the redesign look promising,” Cook notes. “In particular, among the subset of iOS users who are on the new design, we are seeing double-digit percentage gains in screen views and ad impressions. What’s more, we view this release as foundational, providing a platform for continued innovation of the product in the months ahead.”

The new design further emphasizes Chat, the company’s fastest growing and flagship feature. The new design makes it easier to find someone new to chat with by surfacing potential chat partners on initial entry to the app, replacing Feed as the default screen on login. In addition, the new design replaces the “drawer” style menu in favor of tabs, which enable users to quickly switch between features and receive notification of new activity instantly.
