Lava — Call Friends

Lava is a friends app with videos. It's designed for anyone who is a beginner to the internet, whether age 6 or 106.

Compared to other full-featured video calling apps, Lava is incredibly easy to use. It’s so simple that even a child can view the status of their friends and see when they come online! No more asking, “Is Chloe free for a call right now?”, and no more texting to see if a friend is available to talk.

Lava is also designed so that beginners can explore videos about their favorite topics. Topics are organized as tiles, opened with a single tap, and are personalized based on the user’s interests. By default, the videos are hand-selected by a team of curators who understand how to pick videos appropriate for beginners to that topic. For more advanced users, search can include all videos from YouTube and other video platforms, so Lava is a single place to discover content on any topic. It's so easy that even children can browse independently–voice search makes it easy to speak commands without knowing how to spell or type, and search results are narrated in video format.
