BuzzMe social media app is made by Africans for Africans

The apps’ ability to search for users by geographic location should be able to help business development.
While the BuzzMe uses standard SMS-style chat functionality — similar to most chat programs — one of its pull factors is group calling. Up to four users can call each other at once with voice or video, which makes for easier conference calls.
“With video and chat integration, users can now group call. Friends sitting in different countries can now all chat on one video call,” adds Bock.

It is available through the Google Play store for Android users. Will be out on iOS soon.
