Die With Me: This smartphone app lets you do something positive with 5 or less battery

BRUSSELS – Die With Me is a new messenger application for iOS and Android users that connects strangers in a chat room allowing them to meet briefly and pass the time away but there is a catch the app only works on phones with a remaining battery life of five percent or less.

The new messenger app was launched by Dries Depoorter, a Belgian artist, and David Surprenant, a Montreal-based interactive developer.

“We wanted to do something positive with a low battery,” Depoorter told Motherboard.

The app only functions when a user’s battery is at five percent or lower. Then, the user can choose a nickname and enter a chat room to talk to other low-battery sufferers.

The idea came to Depoorter in 2016 when he was travelling for work.

“I was in a city that I didn’t know on my way back to the hotel, and my phone battery was low, I was really stressed about this as it was already turning tonight. At that moment, I had the idea for an app that you can only use when you have a low battery.” Digital Trends quoted Depoorter

The app is available for 99-cent on Android Play Store and Apple App Store for 99-cent.
