Hook is a multi-feature app in which users from a localized area can meet up-to date, network, party, or enjoy the presence of others. By using an interest profiler, users can connect with people and topics of interest within a certain radius, making networking easy and convenient. Hook boasts easy-to-use in-app features that make navigating the app effortless for users, including its use of map mode. In Hook’s map mode, users can click on any profile icon on the map and can choose to leave either a direct message or a like. Once matched with a profile, each Hook user can view the profile of interest in depth for more information.

While Hook’s main feature is having its users be seen while active on the app, users may choose to turn off this setting. This allows for users to be invisible on the app, and blocks said user from seeing others on the map.

Not only does Hook bring users an option to connect within the app, users have the option to connect outside of the app as well. Hook users have the option to integrate their social media accounts within their profile to further connect past the Hook app and on a more personalized level.

How does Hook connect users together? Hooks algorithm ensures that each user has a personalized experience via interests in events and restaurants/small businesses shown on the map, along with the aid of Google Maps.

The map feature powered by Google Maps lets each user see others profiles within a certain radius. Hook gives each user a notification when another user’s interest profile in their geographic area might be of interest or when a new user pops up.

Through Hook’s algorithm and each user’s authentication process, setting up an interest profiler becomes efficient and useful. These features not only promote the legitimacy of other app users in your area, but are used as safety features to ensure the comfort of each Hook user.

Aside from private networking, public networking, Hook users can post “events” on the map to connect with the community. Users can connect groups together through interests for various networking events or outings. All Hook users have the option to post an event to the onto the map. While Hook promotes private networking among users, it also promotes that the best memories are made within a community.

While these are just a few of Hook’s main features, there are more to come in future updates to the app.
