Messaging app flaim generates over 100, 000 downloads in first week

Messaging app flaim has launched in Nigeria, generating over 100, 000 downloads in its first week. It is designed as a new messaging solution to replace the outdated and insecure apps on the market.

Launching with four leading carriers in Nigeria, flaim’s owners say it is set to become one of the fastest growing apps in the country and demonstrates the power of community through its programme, which provides users with data, airtime, phones and tablets, for sharing content with their communities.

According to a statement from the app promoters, “Flaim users will have complete power over what they share, when they share it and who with, so whether it’s sending messages to friends or family, making international or domestic calls, or simply just sharing content with a fellow user, they can do so without worrying about privacy. Users can also “burn” or delete messages instantly, ensuring that nothing is ever sent in error and private communications can never be discovered on a handset by a third party”.

Derek Roga, CEO at flaim, said: “Consumers have grown far more savvy in recent years, particularly in the wake of events such as the Cambridge Analytical Scandal, and other security breaches. Users understand the value of their data, and are no longer accepting it being compromised. They’re making smarter decisions when it comes their personal digital hygiene and looking towards apps like flaim which assures 100 percent encrypted security every time they use our platform.

“We believe in rewarding our users for interactions with their community, rather than stealing data from them. That’s why we’re launching in Nigeria with an exciting programme – all you have to do is download the app and go through the simple two-stage sign up process, which will invite you to share with your friends to receive a host of rewards. It’s as simple as that. We think that’s pretty cool, and so do the 100K people who have signed up this week.
