Free-to-use social app
XV Random Video Chat is a free dating app from Sourcehub and Hifun video Chat. This lets you engage in a video call with random people from all around the world. It finds a match for you and sets you up for a call. You can then follow each other’s profile pages and continue communicating.
Aside from messages and calls, XV Random Video Chat also lets you send gifts that are convertible into real-world money, much like how you can send stars on Facebook streams or gifts on BIGO LIVE. It does, however, offer free ways to earn these gifts.
Connect with people all over the world
If you’re interested in meeting people from different places, XV Random Video Chat is a good place to start. It is free to use, although it does have a couple of limitations. After registering for an account and setting your preferences, it will find a match for you. However, the initial video call has a limited time, but you can follow each other and send messages.
This social platform also uses the standard app layout which makes it pretty easy to use. It may not be original, but it works as intended. The homepage, for example, shows you notifications from the app as well as shortcuts to your user settings. You can even see your balance on the go, showing the diamonds which serve as the in-app currency for longer calls or for sending gifts.
To recharge your diamonds, the app supports microtransactions. Using the app more will reveal the advantages of this in-app currency. You can call longer, send better gifts, and more. The gifts are also convertible to cash on the other end, making it easier for people to utilize and appreciate. Other than that, the app relies heavily on ads. Thankfully, these fullscreen and partly unskippable ads don’t interfere with video calls.
A combined social app
Basically, XV Random Video Chat combines different aspects of various apps currently in the market. You don’t need to go live as with BIGO, and yet you receive gifts. You can also chat, call, or video call with your new contacts just like any other messaging app. The largest difference is that most of its free services come with a limit, forcing users to leverage the in-app currency.
