What Is the Rabbit App?

Rabbit was a pioneering app in the concept of remote co-watching — allowing a group of friends to watch the same video or movie simultaneously in full sync, with the ability to chat and interact during viewing, regardless of the geographical distance between them.

The concept is simple and clever: imagine sitting with friends in one room watching a movie together — but each of you is in their own country. Rabbit makes exactly that possible.

Current App Status — Audio Issue and Alternative

The original Rabbit app has been removed from the App Store and suffers from prominent technical audio issues — sound disappears completely during viewing in recent updates. For this reason the recommended alternative from Arab users is the Rave app for iPhone — which performs the same function more stably and reliably.

Rabbit App Features

Watching movies and live streams with anyone in the world at the same time. Group text chat support for up to 25 people simultaneously. Sending regular and animated images (GIF) in high quality within group conversations. Creating private groups and inviting friends to watch whatever you want together. Searching for videos from multiple sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and others. Joining public rooms created by other users.

How Does Rabbit Work?

The core concept: Rabbit shares the host's screen with all room members. The host selects the video and plays it — everyone sees it at the same moment. Content can be shared from YouTube, Google, SoundCloud, TED, Facebook, Twitter and any other website.

To log in you can use a Facebook account, Gmail, or email directly.
