Brocast! Brocast is a free chat app for Iphones and other smartphones. Other chat apps are useful for communicating with other people, but they never really seem to convey the true emotions that are you are feeling with the message. Brocast is a more intimate chat app where you can build a true connection with your bros, by sending them messages which truly convey what you are feeling! Create a Brocast account with a corresponding bromotion which best describes who you are and what you're feeling. No email or phone number needed! Brocast uses an internet connection to send and receive messages. Add your other bros and start communicating on a whole new level with Brocast! After you added your bro you can customize the chat with a color or a special description. Within this chat you and your bro are free to share your deepest emotions by sending emotional messages. If it gets to difficult to converse using only emojis you can possibly append your emotion with some plain text. You can even create a Bro Group (Broup) where you can communicate with multiple Bro's at the same time! Try this out with all your bros! (Note: "Bro" is gender neutral so both your male, female and other friends can become your bro in this app)

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brocast at 100% against WatchsApp's 43%. Brocast also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). WatchsApp's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
