Achieves Rank of #2 Top-Grossing Social App on Android

Sets New Single-Day Mobile DAU Record

MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social discovery, has released a major revamp of its MeetMe+ subscription product on its popular Android and iOS apps. The improved product is designed to dramatically increase the number of paying subscribers and includes a number of new features including enhanced filtering, Top of the Inbox, and unlimited access to the most popular members.

Enhanced filtering allows MeetMe+ subscribers to search for users by interest, relationship status, height, religion, education, and other demographic and behavioral fields. Top of the Inbox is designed to increase MeetMe+ subscribers’ reply rates by placing their chats at the top of other user’s inboxes. MeetMe+ members also have exclusive access to chat with the app’s most popular members. In addition to these new benefits, MeetMe+ subscribers continue to enjoy an advertisement-free experience, stealth browsing, access to photo views, profile themes, and bonus credits.

“As of yesterday, MeetMe for Android achieved the ranking of #2 Top-Grossing Social App in the Google Play Store in the United States,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “While it is too early to predict the long-term performance of the revamped subscription service, we are quite pleased with the early signs of acceptance from our community. MeetMe for iPhone has enjoyed similar success in recent days, rising 9 places in the Top-Grossing Social rankings to #11 in the App Store in the United States.

“As I’ve noted before, we expect the updated MeetMe+ product to at least double subscription revenue in 2016 from its small base today of roughly $1 million per year. As part of this revamp to MeetMe+, we have also launched the foundation for a new recommendation engine touching all users, both paying and non-paying. We believe the new recommendation engine will enable us to better leverage our data to drive more relevant chat for our members. Over time, we look forward to beginning to feed this engine with interest, demographic, and behavioral data.

“We are pleased also to have set a new single-day mobile DAU record on Monday of this week, crossing 1.2 million mobile DAU for the first time in our history. We believe the recommendation engine will help continue that momentum into next year.”
