Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
The Company History and Nature of the Business | Hotapp International Inc., formerly Fragmented Industry Exchange Inc., (the “Company” or “Group”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 7, 2012 and established a fiscal year end of December 31. The Company’s initial business plan was to be a financial acquisition intermediary which would serve buyers and sellers for companies that are in highly fragmented industries. The Company determined it was in the best interest of the shareholders to expand its business plan. On October 15, 2014, through a sale and purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of HotApps International Pte Ltd (the “HIP”) from Singapore eDevelopment Limited (“SeD”). HIP owned certain intellectual property relating to instant messaging for portable devices (the “HotApp”). HotApp is a cross-platform mobile application that incorporates instant messaging and ecommerce. It provides a messaging and calling services for HotApp users (text, photo, audio). HotApp can be used on any mobile platform (i.e. IOS Online or Android). Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, the Company issued SeD 1,000,000 shares of common stock and 13,800,000 shares of newly created convertible preferred stock. See Note 8 for further description. As of March 31, 2017, details of the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows: Subsidiaries Date of Incorporation Place of Incorporation Percentage of Ownership 1st Tier Subsidiary: HotApps International Pte Ltd (“HIP”) May 23, 2014 Republic of Singapore 100% by Company 2nd Tier Subsidiaries: HotApps Call Pte Ltd September 15, 2014 Republic of Singapore 100% owned by HIP HotApps Information Technology Co Ltd November 10, 2014 People’s Republic of China 100% owned by HIP HotApp International Limited* July 8, 2014 Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region) 100% owned by HIP * On March 25, 2015, HotApps International Pte Ltd acquired 100% of issued share capital in HotApp International Limited. The financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses of $4,762,794 and has net working capital deficit of $757,495 at March 31, 2017. Management has concluded that due to the conditions described above, there is substantial doubt about the entities ability to continue as a going concern through May 12, 2018. We have evaluated the significance of the conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations and believe that our current cash balance along with our current operations will not provide sufficient capital to continue operation through 2017. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving sales growth, management of operating expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations. Our majority shareholder has advised us not to depend solely on it, for financing. We have increased our efforts to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings from other sources. However, we cannot be certain that such capital (from our shareholders or third parties) will be available to us or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact our business. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, we will have insufficient funds to operate our business or pursue our planned growth. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of presentation The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statement but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The other information in these condensed financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. These condensed financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and additional information as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of Hotapp International Inc and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues, cost and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and share-based compensation. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, or which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Foreign currency risk Because of its foreign operations, the Company holds cash in non-US dollars. As of March 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents of the Group includes, on an as converted basis to US dollars $25,365, $52,037 and $18,951 in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), Reminbi (“RMB”) and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively. The Renminbi (“RMB”) is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Group places their cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. Fixed assets, net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Office equipment 3 years Computer equipment 3 years Furniture and fixtures 3 years Motor vehicles 10 years Fair value Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Revenue recognition The Group recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Group currently has $66,178 revenue from its services rendered on projects, and plans to derive its revenue from membership subscription services, offering the platform for Enterprise Collaboration with integration. Revenue is currently recognized under contract accounting due to the significant software production required, and the percentage-of-completion method is used in accordance with ASC 605-35. The Company is recognizing the percentage-of-completion based on input measures that measured directly from expenses incurred, and management reviews the progress to completion. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses primarily consist of (i) salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, and (ii) office rental, general expenses and depreciation expenses associated with the research and development activities. The Company’s research and development activities primarily consist of the research and development of new features for its mobile platform and its self-developed mobile games. Expenditures incurred during the research phase are expensed as incurred. Income taxes Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015, respectively. Uncertainties exist with respect to the application of the New EIT Law to our operations, specifically with respect to our tax residency. The New EIT Law specifies that legal entities organized outside of the PRC will be considered residents for PRC income tax purposes if their “de facto management bodies” as “establishments that carry on substantial and overall management and control over the operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of the Company.” Because of the uncertainties that have resulted from limited PRC guidance on the issue, it is uncertain whether our legal entities outside the PRC constitute residents under the New EIT Law. If one or more of our legal entities organized outside the PRC were characterized as PRC residents, the impact would adversely affect our results of operations. Foreign currency translation The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong and the PRC are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Renminbi ("RMB"), which are also the functional currencies of these entities. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations. The Company’s entities with functional currency of Renminbi, Hong Kong Dollar and Singapore Dollar, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from translation loss of $84,004 in the consolidated financial statements. Operating leases Leases where the rewards and risks of ownership of assets primarily remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease periods. Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes gains (losses) from foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company's convertible preferred shares are not participating securities and have no voting rights until converted to common stock. As of March 31, 2017, no shares of preferred stock are eligible for conversion into voting common stock. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The updated standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. On Feb. 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update). The new leasing standard presents dramatic changes to the balance sheets of lessees. Lessor accounting is updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 to have a material impact on its financial statements. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | On March 27, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan Conversion Agreement with SeD, pursuant to which SeD agreed to convert $450,890 of debt owed by Company to SeD into 500,988,889 common shares at a conversion price of $0.0009. The Company’s board of directors and majority stockholder have approved an increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 by means of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. This amendment was filed with the State of Delaware on May 5, 2017. This increase in authorized shares will permit the Company to issue the 500,988,889 shares of common stock described above. On March 27, 2017, SeD and the Company also entered into a Preferred Stock Cancellation Agreement, by which SeD agreed to cancel its 13,800,000 shares Perpetual Preferred Stock issued by the Company. The terms of the additional shares of common stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because the holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any new issuances of common stock, the authorization and subsequent issuance of additional shares of common stock will reduce the current stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of common stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized common stock will not alter current stockholders’ relative rights and limitations. |

As of March 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents of the Group includes, on an as converted basis to US dollars $25,365, $52,037 and $18,951 in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), Reminbi (“RMB”) and Singapore Dollars (“S$”), respectively. The Renminbi (“RMB”) is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. |
Concentration of credit risk | Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Group places their cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. |
Fixed assets, net | Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Office equipment 3 years Computer equipment 3 years Furniture and fixtures 3 years Motor vehicles 10 years |
Fair Value | Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. |
Revenue Recognition | The Group recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Group currently has $66,178 revenue from its services rendered on projects, and plans to derive its revenue from membership subscription services, offering the platform for Enterprise Collaboration with integration. Revenue is currently recognized under contract accounting due to the significant software production required, and the percentage-of-completion method is used in accordance with ASC 605-35. The Company is recognizing the percentage-of-completion based on input measures that measured directly from expenses incurred, and management reviews the progress to completion. |
Research and development expenses | Research and development expenses primarily consist of (i) salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, and (ii) office rental, general expenses and depreciation expenses associated with the research and development activities. The Company’s research and development activities primarily consist of the research and development of new features for its mobile platform and its self-developed mobile games. Expenditures incurred during the research phase are expensed as incurred. |
Income Taxes | Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Group did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015, respectively. Uncertainties exist with respect to the application of the New EIT Law to our operations, specifically with respect to our tax residency. The New EIT Law specifies that legal entities organized outside of the PRC will be considered residents for PRC income tax purposes if their “de facto management bodies” as “establishments that carry on substantial and overall management and control over the operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of the Company.” Because of the uncertainties that have resulted from limited PRC guidance on the issue, it is uncertain whether our legal entities outside the PRC constitute residents under the New EIT Law. If one or more of our legal entities organized outside the PRC were characterized as PRC residents, the impact would adversely affect our results of operations. |
Foreign currency translation | The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong and the PRC are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Renminbi ("RMB"), which are also the functional currencies of these entities. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations. The Company’s entities with functional currency of Renminbi, Hong Kong Dollar and Singapore Dollar, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from translation loss of $84,004 in the consolidated financial statements. |
Operating leases | Leases where the rewards and risks of ownership of assets primarily remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease periods. |
Comprehensive income (loss) | Comprehensive income (loss) includes gains (losses) from foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Loss per share | Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company's convertible preferred shares are not participating securities and have no voting rights until converted to common stock. As of March 31, 2017, no shares of preferred stock are eligible for conversion into voting common stock. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The updated standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. On Feb. 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update). The new leasing standard presents dramatic changes to the balance sheets of lessees. Lessor accounting is updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 to have a material impact on its financial statements. |
