The FunChat app, created by Fun Mobility, brings together [texting, chat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chatbased-application), weird pranks, [social gaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-app) and other great features all in one app. The app enables you to interact with your friends in pretty much every possible digital way that currently exists.

What I find interesting about the FunChat app is the pranks feature that allows to send different animal noises to a friend's mobile device. FunMobility has created the very first pranking engine with mobile capabilities, so if you pride yourself on being on the vanguard of tech, you should certainly give it a go.

FunMobility definitely makes it tempting to give the FunChat app a try by making it available for free. The FunChat app allows you to interact with your friends all in one place.
