SAN FRANCISCO - February 19, 2015 - Imagist Labs announced today the immediate availability of Pop - Video Texting for iPhone and iPod Touch users.
Pop is a lo fi video texting app for close friends. Conversations on Pop have the expressiveness of video chats and the convenience of text messaging.
There's no need to set up a video call to chat with friends. Videos on Pop behave like texts. Users chat in real-time or respond to videos when they want.
Features:
Research suggests that faces, voices and gestures make up 93% of human communication. Pop lets users show friends how they're feeling at any given moment, giving context to conversations that are richer and more authentic than text messages.
“I was frustrated with video chat, voicemail, and texting. ” said Alaric Cole, co-founder of Pop. “So I built something to take the best from each, with none of the annoyances.”
Pop’s compressed videos are designed with poor network conditions and budget data plans in mind.
Pop is ideal for close friends and family who want a convenient and expressive way to talk to one another.
Pricing and Availability
Pop is available in English, Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish and is free on Apple App Store. Pop is designed for iPhones and iPod Touch, running on iOS8 or above.
