Conference-Style Messaging Apps

The 'Popcorn Buzz' App Facilitates Free Group Calls and Chats

— June 8, 2015 — Tech
The popular messaging application 'Line' has just released a new spin-off app that will allow you to have group calls and chats with up to 200 people at a time. The new app is called 'Popcorn Buzz' and it functions as a free conference-style messaging app for friends, families and businesses.

The app is currently available free of charge for Android users and is compatible with the current Line app. Popcorn Buzz works by allowing you to make free groups calls or chats while connected to WiFi. The app helps to facilitate large group chat by displaying a green icon next to the avatar of anyone that is chatting in the app.

What is truly revolutionary about the Popcorn Buzz app is that up to 200 people can be accommodated in a single call. While the average user likely won't reach this number of contacts for a single group call or chat, the app may be useful for businesses that are looking for a simple and free conference-style messaging service.
