Connecting with people is incredibly easy thanks to apps. It wasn’t too long ago when you’d have to actually go places to meet new people; now you can hang out and chat with like-minded individuals who share your interests.<\/p>\n

Lively<\/a> is a well-designed and easy-to-use app that makes chatting with and meeting new people fun and exciting.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional apps where you have to rely on text, Lively uses video chatting so you can talk to each other face to face.<\/p>\n

Concept and Functionality:<\/strong> \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Signing up for Lively, a free app by Zoosk, Inc.<\/a>, is incredibly easy – all you need is to connect the app to Facebook. From there, you can choose your interest categories such as sports, tv shows, politics, and so much more.<\/p>\n

As far as the actual chatting experience, I like the fact that Lively covers new ground by moving users away from texting each other.<\/p>\n

It seems like a strange concept at first, but there’s a handy app feature that I’ll talk about in a bit which makes everything much, much more comfortable.<\/p>\n

One of the things I really like about Lively is that it’s easy to get adjusted to the app. You’re not grilled with personality questions so you can be matched with the “perfect” chat partner; just pick a topic you feel like talking about at that particular moment and wait to be connected with someone who wants to discuss the same thing.<\/p>\n

Features:<\/strong> \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

As I mentioned above, Lively has a really neat feature that even the shyest of chatters will appreciate – the blur. This feature automatically blurs each users screen when a video chat is started.<\/p>\n

As you chat with your partner, the blur gradually fades. You always have the option to keep the blur enabled for privacy purposes, but this is a really cool way to let you get comfortable with chatting.<\/p>\n

If you happen to chat with someone and you really enjoy their company, you can add them to your friend list.<\/p>\n

Lively is an especially great app for college students because you have the option of choosing your campus (if it’s listed) when you first sign up.<\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Lively is available to download for free from the App Store. There are no ads or in-app purchases, which makes this a completely free app to use and enjoy. No subscription fees, no paid extras, and no nonsense.<\/p>\n

Overall, I highly recommend Lively if you’re looking to video chat with new people and talk about things you have in common.<\/p>\n

It’s a great app that definitely has privacy in mind, and I definitely believe it’s destined to be a top social networking app!<\/p>\n

\"\"Lively – Meet New People<\/a> requires iOS 9.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.<\/em><\/p>\n
