This app is great because it lets me easily chat with a large amount of people at an event. Really cool way to message people at events!

Fortinet / Fortigate Web Filter service considers the URL: moochat.com/wwdc15.html as Category: Pornography

Thanks for letting me know! Wondering what I can do here. Maybe report to them for a false positive example?

I made a rating override on our firewall and sent an email to the support team. You can also send them an email, stating that their UTM profiles -> Web filter is classifying your website in the wrong category. Cheers

Update: it's now fixed. Cheers

I tried a few group chatting app before but im not very satisfied. I would definitely give this a try.

Thanks! If you are not satisfied with MooChat, please let me know:-)

Looks pretty nice. Congratulations! But why this is better than other chat apps for WWDC?

what other chat apps would you use?

Founder here. Thanks for the question!

I created MooChat with three differentiations in mind:

- Easy to start chat. The app does not ask any of your personal information (email, phone number, social login etc), user can start chat right after downloading the app.

- Large group oriented. Hundreds of people can join a chatroom instantly. While it's much difficult to create large groups with other chat apps.

- Because it's so easy to form a chat group on MooChat, we are targeting to events or similar case that many people gather together for a short period of time.

I hope this make sense to you:) let me know if you think another chat app is better fit for wwdc onsite participants and live stream viewers.

The app is pretty awesome. Easiest to chat with a group of people who you just met.

Because WWDC is awesome!!! (Use MooChat to make quick gathering!!!)

The easiest chat group I have ever initiated!
