AFree App has been launched in Kenya to enhance financial, and innovative social networking experience.
Afree App is a platform specifically designed for the African continent. Its entire branding, advertising campaign, and other elements are linked to Africa.
The App is designed to work in areas with low internet coverage, has an intuitive interface for people with low literacy levels, and offers a multitude of features for connected youth.
In addition, it was built with a capacity to function with very minimal data consumption and an ability to work with very low power supply.
The AFree App is a game changer for the continent which will cut through these barriers to connect users within African communities and cities.
This App also offers opportunities for monetisation through a system of aggregation of social media engagements on posts.
AFree CEO Baktibek Batyrkanov said during the launch that a group of programmers working on applications for large companies realized that existing social networks had become outdated.
“On the one hand, they are constantly being updated, changing their design and interface, and expanding their functionality.
“On the other hand, many social networks and messaging apps have become too complex, their interfaces requiring a long and tedious learning process,” said Batyrkanov.
He added that currently, many people simply don’t utilize all the features of a single network, and the vast majority lack expensive gadgets for optimal use.
AFree team collaborated with African developers and decided to create a practical, simple, and intuitive social network.
They focused their attention on the African continent, deciding to test and launch a next-generation network in this region, a network that could function in poor mobile connectivity conditions, be simple, engaging, and easy to understand.
As one of the first beta testing countries, testers in Kenya will actively contribute to the development of the application.
The participation and feedback of the users will help AFree launch an improved version of the app, which will be presented in the next African country.
Afree features instant messaging, calling, video calling, and video conferencing capabilities. At the same time, Afree offers features for short and long videos, as well as their processing.
“AFree was created to unite everyone in Africa on one platform, freeing them from total censorship and giving them a voice.
“We are also helping to improve lives, business development and learning, ultimately promoting unity, equality and prosperity on the continent,” concluded Mr Batyrkanov.
