INDIANAPOLIS–()–ChaCha, the #1 free, real-time Q&A service has updated its apps on iPhone and Android operating systems with a fresh look and feel and enhanced functionality, giving ChaChees the most accurate answers in the quickest way possible.
“At ChaCha, we are always looking to give our users the absolute best experience we can. With the new and upgraded features, our popular service is even easier and more entertaining to use.”
The highlight of the upgrade is the exciting all-new Real-Time Map feature, which allows users to see questions recently asked by others using the application. For the first time ever, ChaChees will visually see on a real-time map what questions are being asked where.

The addition of the map enhances user experience by allowing ChaChees to connect to other users by viewing not only the questions and answers posed, but the location they are coming from.
“Location-based functions are extremely popular and ours lets ChaChees zoom in to find out what is trending nearby, as well as all over the United States,” said Shawn Schwegman, CMO of ChaCha. “At ChaCha, we are always looking to give our users the absolute best experience we can.
