Device and number independent - How many times do you have to register for Whatsapp and Viber, each time you switch phones or get a new number? And for every device you have, you have a different set of friends. With Hiipe, you do not have to re-register each time you get a new device or phone number. All this is made possible thanks to our patented email to phone number resolution approach.
Private and secure – keep your phone number private so you chat with who you want to, when you want to. Only chat with friends you want to chat with, and if you block a person or delete them from your list, they are done! No spam, no pranks! Furthermore, our end-to-end encryption ensures your chats are secure.

What We Need
Let’s be real, the present version of Hiipe being a beta version is far from perfect, though it does well to showcase our concept. It is limited in usability and experience. We have already completed the design for the next major release and now need your help to get there. The money you contribute will enable us to:
1. Improve the design of the app interface to ensure it is bug-free, highly functional and user-friendly.
2. Introduce new chatting features like group chatting, video calling so you can interact face-to-face with family and friends from anywhere in the world.
3. Create merchant profiles in the app, improve merchant portal and acquire additional merchants so our users have access to exciting rewards like spa packages, travel discounts, fitness classes, and the latest electronic gadgets.

The Impact
Like Whatsapp, Viber, Tango, users easily discover friends and chat free of charge, HOWEVER, communication is private using patented technology that allows users to keep their numbers private and use email addresses only as reference for chatting in a similar manner in which Paypal uses email addresses to associate multiple bank accounts. This flexibility allows users can connect from ANY device which runs the app. Further distinguishing it from Whatsapp, Viber is the social element which connects users to friends of friends as well as merchants that match their preferences or whose campaigns they have participated in.
Like Groupon or LivingSocial merchants can promote products and services, HOWEVER merchants retain 100% of all sales and only pay a one time fee of $10 per campaign. Furthermore, merchants can offer raffles as an alternative to discounts to spur engagement and build their following, thereby providing a mechanism to build loyalty, which Groupon and LivingSocial do not offer.
Disclosure Statement
Some of the design elements may change during the course of development. This is not unusual with any development process that seeks to implement the best and most functional solution.
Delivering what we promise is contingent upon reaching our funding objectives. The good thing about the development process is that it is flexible; we will be able to scale down if we do not reach the desired goal, and of course scale up once we exceed our target.
We believe that 6 to 7 months is a reasonable time frame to consider implementing our development goals. Adjusting the deliverables for example, could shift the release date to the left or right. Please understand we will do everything possible to honor the time frame but please understand that in delays could happen by seen and unforeseen circumstances.
