WOLF ("The World's Online Festival"), formerly Palringo, is a British messaging and gaming platform that developed the WOLF Qanawat app for iOS, Android, and web for Arabic-speaking users in the MENA region. The app serves as a platform where people can create audio entertainment shows, communicate with others, and play games.
Users create groups where they can send each other images, text, and audio messages. Groups feature a Stage, which provides five live microphone slots for users to chat. In-app purchases of credits can be used to send in-app gifts to other users and get access to additional features and games. Users have a reputation level that increases from actions such as playing chat games or purchasing credits.
WOLF's headquarters is located in London, UK, with branch office locations in Newcastle, UK; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and Amman, Jordan.
As of 2025, WOLF reported that over 4 million users have used the platform to date, with the community producing over 22,000 live shows per month. WOLF reported that Qanawat had a 98% retention rate of its long-term community, with the average revenue per paying user (ARPPU) equalling more than $150 per month.
In August 2025, WOLF announced it had achieved more than $14 million in revenue, up 11% from 2024.
Palringo was developed by Martin Rosinski in 2006. In August 2006, Northstar Ventures invested in Palringo. Palringo offered a technology (Palringo Local) that allowed users to view the location of their peers by means of their manual position, GPS, triangulation, or estimation based on the internet network connected to by the located user. It used the Google Maps API to show peer locations and also offered a "nearby" section in friends and group lists to show users in close proximity.
