The catchup app will allow up to 8 members to call together. Of course, Facebook has such facilities in WhatsApp and Messenger rooms. The specialty of Ketchup, however, is that it can let other users know when it will be available to talk.
Research from Facebook has shown that many people do not call family or others because they are not sure of getting them at the right time in many cases. In many cases, you get annoyed by phone calls or you become unprepared. Ketchup will solve that problem. If you know the exact time to call, it will not be difficult to get the call.
The app will have 'Join' option to join the call and 'Offline' option to go offline. You can invite from the contact list.
According to tech website TechCrunch, users of the app will be able to create calls or join people and merge one call with another when the call arrives.
