After Reaching 4 Million Downloads on iOS, Free Social App Brings Unique Mix of Image, Audio and Text Sharing to Google Play

BOSTON, Mass. – July 17, 2013 Digisocial, Inc. today announced that its popular social sharing app is now available for free on Android devices, following an initial iOS launch earlier this year. With 4 million cumulative downloads on iOS, Digisocial features a large, global community for Android owners to create and share audio-enabled content with, in an experience that is as private or public as a user chooses. The first app of its kind, Digisocial gives users the power to add voice and sound to image and text posts, delivering an extra layer of expression, or instantly record and share their voice in standalone audio posts with friends and other users around the world. To learn more about how Digisocial can be used to empower the social sharing experience with voice, visit the company’s YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/digisocial.

Since launch on January 16, 2013, Digisocial has received a number of updates designed address user feedback and improve the overall social sharing experience. These updates, which are reflected in both the iOS app and the newly-launched Android version, include discoverability tweaks with the addition of a new “Explore” feature which allows users to filter by region and view and hear content from around the world, a specific area or their own neighborhood. Building on its focus on privacy – Digisocial only tracks data users physically enter, and will never sell this data to third parties – the app now features controls that allow users to approve or deny individual followers, or set their profile to completely public or private.

“The amount of downloads we were able to achieve with our iOS app is proof that the world is hungry for new and more robust ways to share,” said David Guo, CPO of Digisocial. “With our expansion to Android, we are providing a large audience from around the world to connect with in new ways, empowering interactions with optional audio in a seamless but robust sharing experience.”
