The World's Online Festival (WOLF) (formerly Palringo) is a British messaging and gaming platform with apps for iOS and Android.[3][4] Users can create groups where they can send text, image, and short audio messages. Groups feature a Stage which provides five live microphone slots for users to chat.[5] The app features a store[6] where users can purchase in-app credits that can be used to buy additional features, utility chatbots and games, and to send in-app gifts to other users. Users have a reputation level that increases from actions such as playing chat games or purchasing credits.[7]
WOLF is headquartered in London with branch office locations in Newcastle and London, UK, and Amman, Jordan.[8] As of September 2014, the platform had 28 million registered accounts.[8][9] Palringo offers a technology (Palringo Local) that allows users to establish and view the location of their peers by means of their manual position, GPS, triangulation or estimation on the internet network used at that moment. It uses the Google API Maps to show peer locations and also offers a "nearby" section in friends and group lists to show users who are nearby.[10]
