Interest-based networking app
Monkey.cool
is a
social
platform created by Monkey, Inc and owned by the HOLLA Group. It is a
social networking
application created by teens for teens. Using the software, you can immediately communicate with a
randomly matched user
with similar interests. This is done through the app’s built-in Voice Over Internet Protocol or
VoIP
. You will get to see the person you’re speaking to, his username, age, and location. All calls can end in 15 seconds, but you have the option to
extend the call
or connect with the person through
Snapchat
. You can also opt to use the
instant messaging
feature to maintain your privacy.

Straightforward networking app
Monkey’s key functionality is to
pair individuals
together based on similar interests, hobbies, and other factors. Using the app, you can connect to your new online friend through
various media
, including text, video, and image sharing. You can also share posts or links from third-party
social media
platforms. What lacks in Monkey is a
stable security system
to control or oversee the users and their behavior. As a result, you will not always agree with the actions of the person you’re matched with.
When you do find a perfect match on Monkey, you can add them directly to the app. You can swipe your new friend’s card to send a direct message to their inbox. You can also let them know that you’re excited to meet them by tapping the
Super Like
or star emoji on your screen. You can also opt to ‘
knock
’ other users to send a message without waiting for the
video call
.
Once you have amassed a large group of friends on Monkey, you can bring them all together on the Monkey app itself. The
2P Chat
allows you to bring three of your friends in a
video chat
, allowing them to get acquainted and add each other. Overall, Monkey is an innovative social networking platform for all users. The 15-second countdown urges you to put your best foot forward with each call. This way, extending the call or being added as a friend feels rewarding.
