MeetMe Updates Mobile Apps

NEW HOPE, Pa.--()--MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, updated its MeetMe application on both the iPhone and Android platforms this week. On iPhone, the app now supports iOS 8, which became available for download yesterday. On Android, MeetMe launched username creation and search.

MeetMe’s Android users now can create unique usernames to make it easy for members to share their MeetMe identity with real-life friends. For example, a user could choose a username like “Bob_Smith” and others could easily find that profile by visiting http://meet.me/Bob_Smith. Users also may search in the Friends or Chat sections of the MeetMe app to easily find a particular username. Today the feature is available to a portion of MeetMe’s Android users and is expected to roll out to all Android users in the coming weeks.

“We expect the ability to share a MeetMe username easily with an offline friend will increase MeetMe’s virality,” said MeetMe CEO Geoff Cook. “We believe word of mouth is the primary driver for attracting new mobile users to MeetMe. Now users can easily invite their real-life friends to join them on MeetMe. We are excited to bring the feature to iOS shortly as well.”
