The goal of these initiatives is to grow our user base, especially in well-developed markets.

Finally, we are also in the process of enhancing our ‘Shortz – Chat Stories by Zedge‘ app by adding an ad-supported option, as well as introducing “Shortcastz” high quality short-form podcasts of the stories.”
