In can be tough to keep in touch with friends who don't live nearby or who travel frequently, but the Thirty app makes it easier. The video chat app puts friends in touch with one another for catch-up sessions that are limited to just 30-second connections, providing a fun way to quickly reach out and show that you're still thinking about one another.
Of course, friends have every possibility to chat with one another and catch up for as long as they please through a plethora of different apps, but even taking a few minutes to have a video chat often ends up feeling like something that needs to be planned out a week in advance. With the Thirty app, users send impromptu calls, and since the recipient knows it'll only last for half a minute, they're far more likely to pick up and get in on the fun.
