Social networking apps are a convenient platform to discuss topics with your friends and even random persons. And with the various sites and apps available, you will have different options. Among the new ones taking the spotlight is Parlor. The developers call it a social talking app. Here, you can get on and talk with strangers about different topics. However, be warned, the people in this app can be pretty rowdy, and the topics raunchy.

What is Parlor?

Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Parlor gives its users a platform to talk. It does not matter if you are young or older. The app will surely have a topic that you would love to talk about. Even better, starting a conversation is simple. You only have to pick a topic from the list, and within a few seconds, it will connect you to another user who chose the same topic as you.

Of course, you can also use the app to connect more with your friends. You can add them to your list and start conversing with them. You can send text messages and pictures as well. The Parlor app also extends its communication capabilities by adding video calls—both groups and private. You can even watch videos of celebrities. There is also a message board where you can post updates for your friends to see.

However, seeing as the app can connect you with total strangers, one must use Parlor with utmost caution. Many of its users have found that some users can be rather vulgar and tend to take conversations away from the topics themselves. The app also has the potential to become a platform for cyberbullying. More than the not-so-pleasant conversations, new users may also experience some sign-up and other usability issues.

Still not a contender

Parlor may be new to the social media game, but as it is, it still cannot be considered as a proper contender. While it tries to offer something new to the table, it needs more improvement for its users to have a happy and pleasant experience. Also, for a platform that allows young users, there should be a way to moderate the conversations.
