Hello Pal International Inc. announced the soft-launch of DoggeChat, a 1-on-1 video chatting app. The DoggeChat app represents the first of two 1-on-1 video chatting apps announced earlier by the Company. The app is aimed at the English-speaking market (especially North America), and allows users to match themselves with other individual users from across the globe to engage in 1-on-1 video calls.

Calls are made for free under restricted circumstances, beyond which the call initiator pays for calls on a per-minute basis, and the call receiver receives a proportion of that payment. Users may also become monthly subscribers to experience VIP privileges. The invite-only soft launch will focus on ensuring that unforeseen issues are given the opportunity to be resolved prior to the full launch.

The demographic for the soft launch has been curated from a pool of English-speaking users of varying geographies, allowing simultaneous testing of both the platform's engineering, and user experience design across the various English-speaking markets. The full launch of DoggeChat is expected to occur in the following weeks, with the launch of its cryptocurrency-based sister app, DogeChat, to follow shortly thereafter.
