puRRing - Cute cat videos with every incoming call on your Android

Hey Product Hunt! Thank you to @shaun_springer for the post! We all check our phones a ton everyday, yet notifications are generic, annoying and boring. The worst offender is the incoming call. Nobody likes that. Our team has been hard at work building a product to improve the lockscreen experience with more social, personalized content. In the meantime though, we wanted to use the tech stack to create something super simple and cute and beloved by the internet. CATS! With puRRing, every incoming call triggers a random adorable cat video to replace the generic callerID photo. That’s it. Tap once and enjoy forever. Best of all, we’re working with local animal shelters to help spur adoption of rescue cats with the app. We hope you enjoy this simple free Android app (not on iOS yet), and stay tuned for a lot more soon! Cheers! http://purring.me/

Recently my buddy Jeff called me to talk about how awful the lockscreen phone call experience is, and how he wanted to make it fun and social. Since the internet is in love with cats, they've decided to launch a cat-focused lockscreen experience that is really fun(ny) to use! @jeffrey_chernick can talk more about his vision for Vyng!

The most adorable MVP I've ever seen. This team is aiming to introduce video ringtones as a concept- and their focus (cat videos) are a hilarious was to get this going. Send this to your fave cat lover

This fellow cat dad 100000% endorses this product. Now if I only had an Android phone... Maybe I'll get a burner phone for James (aka the cat).

Today, I encourage you to vote for inspiration, vote for innocence, vote for everything that's good in the world, vote for KITTENS!!!! Okay honestly I'm not a cat guy, but I am a mindfulness guy and there's something about disrupting the 1,000th notification of the day with a video of kittens playing that reminds you not to take life too seriously. I'm a big fan and looking forward to what else the vyng team has in store. SO VOTE!

Smart and Funny concept... seems like a sure fire hit as I haven't heard of any major players in the video ringtone game.

I've tried a bit, and the cat videos are totally adorable. Especially useful for when telemarketers are calling =) A quick question though: Is it possible/planned to integrate with Whatsapp calls? And potentially a way to customize the placement of the videos? Meow 😸

I love that there is an element of support for local cat shelters with this and it's not just cat videos. Someone already mentioned smiles with every call, so maybe this would be awesome for telemarketers to get them to smile before every call given how depressing that line of work can be?

Love the non-profit idea behind this app. Can't wait for the iOS version to come out!

Ha! This thing is actually kinda fun. I love how you guys are supporting local shelters thats really cool of you.
