Waplog is a free App designed for meeting new friends and potential dating partners. The idea of Waplog was first born in 2008. Waplog was originally designed to be a service for social media and social networking that would be mobile-based. The name Waplog came from the word WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) although WAP has been replaced by other standards the name was already too popular to switch. Waplog officially launched in 2011 with around a million installs in 1 month. As Waplog became more popular the company also opened its doors for users looking for potential dating partners. Waplog has over 20 million users, is available in more than 50 countries, and appears on the top 100 social apps in various countries.

Setting up a profile for Waplog only requires an email, or you can sign up using Facebook. Signing up with Facebook gives the user the ability to extract facebook information and to use the information on Waplog. Similar to Facebook Waplog gives you the option to click on other users’ profiles, send messages, and receive and send notifications. Waplog is completely free to sign up for but the company does provide a premium membership option. The cost of a premium member starts at $9.49 for a month, $8 for 3 months or $26.99, or $4.75 for a full year or $56.99. The premium membership shuts off ads and allows the profiles of premium members to be added to the top of the discover and suggestion screen. Coins can be purchased on Waplog to buy gifts for other users. Coins can also be used to unlock stories of users who choose to have their stories locked. To cut down on profiles that are catfishing and to add something interesting to profiles, Waplog offers the ability to add short videos. Users are unable to upload videos saved on their phone, videos can only be 5-20 seconds long, and once uploaded videos are only temporary.
