  Those are hardly the only ways of monetizing. There a range of premium services you could offer in app, for one the crowd who is using it to collaborate on schoolwork has a load of potential.

  Hmm, I think that's probably the least important question right now. I want to know: - is it 1 million returning daily users, or 1 million registered users? - percentage of their registered users in the past month that come back every day (basically, are users addicted, or not really?). - How many times users open the app every day and average length of each video session? I've seen the app there before and tried it out, very nice onboarding flow that seemed like it could be viral, but I don't think it maintained its app store position. If they are closing in on 1m returning daily actives, that's pretty sweet. If it's 1 million total users who ever signed up, that's actually a bit of a concern given how many downloads they should have gotten when they were topping the app store charts. I'm far to old to use this app with my friends but it seemed like a much more friendly version of Google Hangouts, which my sister, who is in their target demographic, uses quite often. They are definitely onto something, just literally follow any kid around, and they all like to video chat with their friends in real-time, and they snapchat doesn't solve that specific problem for them (yet).
