Hoop is a new app that is designed to help you make new connections on Snapchat. The app allows you to browse through & review the picture of other Snapchat users & request their contact if you like them in a way quite similar to how Tinder works. This makes it easy to discover new friends & also makes it possible for new people to find you as well.
On Hoop, anyone can sign up using their Snap profiles, gender, & age. This will help filter the profiles that are sent to you based on the age you provide. You can then upload some of your pictures. With the app set up, users will be able to find the pictures of other Snapchat users on the Hoop app, choose to “X” those they do not like & connect with those you like by requesting their Snap info.
New users on Hoop have to signup using their Snap info, However, their Snapchat username & other personal details are kept private until they decide to share it with another user. When you get requests asking for your Snapchat username, you can choose to accept & share your profile with them or simply decline. If you choose to decline, the person requesting your info will not know that you did & your profile is not sent to them.
On the Hoop app, users can earn diamonds by carrying out various activities. This includes simply opening the app daily, sharing their profile (with extra rewards on Sundays), watching videos, taking surveys & opening offers. Diamonds are also earned when users level up (when they add up to 20 Snapchat friends through hoop).
The gems you earn are required to connect with other users on the platform. For instance, you will need 10 diamonds to request a person’s snapchat username. You also need diamonds to further customize your profile. Hoop is available on both iOS & Android devices.
Hoop is a product by Dazz, a polls & survey app company co-founded by Lucas Gervais & Alexi Pourret in 2018.
