MeowChat
With MeowChat, you can connect to people who use the platform all over the world and chat with them through an internet connection. If you prefer, you can set the app to focus on a single area of the globe for chatting. When you first download and install the app, you'll be given the opportunity to create a personal profile with information that will provide others with a snapshot of you so they can see if you are someone with whom they would like to chat. If you so choose, you can have the software sync with other social networking platforms like Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Instagram.

MeowChat is an interesting social networking app that makes it easy to chat with random people from across the world. You'll start by downloading the software and installing it on your mobile device. Once the software is installed, you'll be prompted to open it and make a personal profile. You don't have to spend a lot of time working with the profile at first if you don't want to. Many users prefer to create a basic profile so they can start chatting right away. As you learn about the platform, you can add detail to your profile so others can get a sense of who you are. The app will guide you through the process of setting up your profile, but the process is simple enough that you could easily figure it out on your own without the need for any tutorial. It takes less than a couple of minutes to go from installing the app to sending the first message you'll send with the software. The amount of detail that you include in your profile is up to you, but profiles with extensive information are more likely to attract potential chatting partners. Of course, one of the most valuable aspects of an app like MeowChat is its aesthetic, and this app has gone above and beyond. The interface is beautiful, and you'll notice a unique design style that is both striking and engaging. The system for creating a limited chat zone is quite intuitive, and it works seamlessly with the rest of the software. For those who want something a little more basic, there are buttons that allow you to find chatting partners from completely random locations or those that are close to your location. The app uses large fonts that are easily readable, and navigating the app is straightforward. One of the downsides of the software is that it constantly asks for access to the sensitive areas of your mobile device, like your photos, contacts, and other social networking accounts. It does this under the pretense of integration, but the issue of privacy is one that many worry about when dealing with a social networking site like MeowChat. Another possible negative aspect of the software is that rules on the platform don't seem to be enforced strictly if at all. Many users report chat profiles that have been created specifically to advertise a website or the personal service of someone. There is a section of rules in the app, and they do state that the app discourages inappropriate behavior and content, but you'll commonly find images that might be considered NSFW in the chat screen and member profiles.
