New app solves the problem of breaking the ice when meeting new people

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Just in time for the New Year, MeetMe,
Inc. (NYSE MKT:MEET), the public market leader for social discovery,
announced the launch of Choosy, a new stand-alone application for
meeting new people. This application is optimized to encourage
high-quality connections with new people and is separate from the
company’s core MeetMe application.

“Choosy asks simple questions to break the ice among users,” said Geoff
Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Many users of social apps, like Tinder, tend to be
bombarded with low-quality messages like ‘hey,’ or ‘what’s up.’ Choosy
solves this problem by using simple icebreaker questions. Rather than
relying on double-sided matches based only on the quality of a profile
photo, Choosy drives high-quality conversations by helping its users say
something of interest. With so many New Year’s resolutions around
relationships and meeting new people, we pushed to get the app out as
close to the New Year as possible.”

To meet people on Choosy, you must first answer simple questions chosen
by the users themselves. Those users then have a choice to accept or
reject your answers. If they accept, you can continue the conversation
that started with your answer. If they reject you, they may provide a
reason to help you improve future answers, and then you can no longer
communicate with that user.

“Choosy’s mission, as well as the mission for all of our apps, is to
facilitate and deepen connections among people,” said Catherine Cook,
co-founder and Vice President of Brand Strategy of MeetMe. “As an avid
user of people discovery apps, I know too well just how many low quality
messages you receive. Choosy provides a useful filter. Only people who
answer your question ‘right’ can message you – and now you have
something to talk about.”

Choosy is now available on Android and available for download in the
Google Play Store, and is scheduled to be available on iPhone in the
coming weeks.
