Hoop - Make new friends

Honestly better than I expected. Wish it had more than just a snapchat trading service and maybe actual texting. Just a thought. Also, why not make the state visible or even big cities in Europe? Otherwise, it makes it difficult for anyone to legit meet up unless they add them or get accepted. While its cool for getting to meet new people and useful for filling up snap map, the app tries too hard to focus on diamonds. Most people simply post their social media in bio and delete the app. Cool

Great Idea. Very simple user interface which is great for mass adoption. But definitely need to monitor scammers and "snapchat models" I saw a couple on here, other than that maybe a name change or add a description in the name, for example "Hoop -Make Friends" or "Hoop - Meet Friends", something in that sort so you can pop up more often when someone is searching for a dating/ friends app.

It used to be pretty good, but the recent update ruined it. Mostly, the new algorithm for face detection is completely broken, clear photos are rejected for example and it's like impossible. My profile kept getting messed up and requests got cleared out too, along with constant connection issues even w/ strong wifi. I ended up just deleting my account. Won't return to the app unless the developers care to fix it.

The app has a few issues. One of which includes the following effects on my phone: 1. The female profiles are fake, some of them are bot accounts. Hence no verification which I think is required. 2. Glitches and will occasionally load up slowly at times. 3. Few adjustments to profile creation would be appreciated and give a much more better chance of getting a potential match with anyone. Like using filters to show interests.

I didn't have a problem with it until the most recent update and I tried changing one of my photos and every photo i tried it said I couldn't use it because my face wasn't showing even though it clearly was. Also it does have a problem sometimes with being slow or glitching out and I'll have to completely close out of hoop and snap a couple times.

The app worked really well for about a month, then just like everyone else is saying- update comes out, and nothing works. I'll get notifications and people will randomly show up in my "Add" list or whatever, but when I go to explore I get a message saying "No new friends found, come back later!" Well I've been coming back, checking every now and then just to see if it's gotten any kind of better and it hasn't. I usually don't leave reviews, but this stuff REALLY needs to get fixed devs.

App is unstable. Not saving my preferences and prompting for new entries every other time I open the app. And that's when the app actually wants to open. Otherwise the app is reasonably solid; lots of girls promoting premium snapchats (real or not), escort services, and scammers, so be extremely cautious about sending money, clicking links, or filling out forms sent to you.

the app is very difficult to navigate. Often times when I see my friends tab it doesn't show anything, it just says "you're all caught up!" even though I have people on my friends list. And there is no chat option either, it's also glitchy and sometimes won't load correctly if you click on something else. as of now I do not recommend this as an app to make new friends because it lacks the basic features required to be such.

Like the app so far. First day I got like 50 ads on my account. Only things I don't like are that after going back to my home screen the app will say it lost connection, I have to close the app and restart to fix this. This does not happen with any other apps on my phone. I would also prefer being able to swipe on people instead of having to go all the way to the other side of my phone to skip someone. Idk about the guys on this app, but allot of the girls only have one picture :/

Its a unique kind of app to meet people. Its a snap extension sure but I like it. Barely any scammers trying to sell stuff or flash themselves. Only a couple issues though. It likes to crash after a few minutes on the app, it freezes on people and doesnt change, does load then jumps onto next person, and sometimes the snap names don't work or it doesnt do anything rarely. Still a good app and I enjoy using it. Keep up the good work on the servers and programming.

This app worked almost perfect before when you could write a bio. It allowed you to indicate the state you lived in which helps since you can't search for people near you. Now that's gone and you have no way of knowing where people are from. If you could narrow down searches to your state or within a few hundred miles the app would be great cuz there's actually a decent amount of real users on it. I've talked to around 30 people.

I think that this is a great app! It's very easy to use and u can make some cool people on there. I have no idea why but it keeps saying "not connected ", even though I have wifi. When it does this it won't let me get snap requests and I won't let me get other peoples snaps. I tried to delete my level 20 account but it still did it to a new one. Its happening to my friends too! Fix?

It's OK so far. Met some cool people.. For me, I would say the "take survey" for 💎 isn't really that good.. It's good for the developer, because they get paid from the businesses. But if you don't answer a certain way, then you can't continue with the survey so you don't get the 💎.. And I think you should be able to choose which city you would want to find snap friends in as well.. Still love meeting people from all over. But having the feature to pick your city would go a long way.

Can't view profiles. Just get a black box with a circle spinning in the center. Tried tapping the X and the Snapchat icon; neither works. Updating the app didn't work. Went to Settings and tapped "Assistance." They say the support team "will do everything to help you." LIARS! I've e-mailed them twice. They have done nothing to fix the problem, and haven't even had the courtesy to e-mail me back. The app sucks, and their support team sucks worse.

At first everything was great, but with each update, it got worse. Taking away the bio made it hard for me to decide who I wanted to add. You can't tell someone's personality based off their appearance. Then you limit to only three photos, which I guess is whatever, but definitely not an upgrade. Then there's "super request" but I haven't been able to use it, because hoop is telling me there are no new friends for me to add, which I doubt. It's not showing me anyone's profile. Please fix this.

I love this app, I've gotten friends off of it. But the new update is messing my stuff up. It won't let me upload pictures bc of face recognition, and it often zooms in on one face in group pictures. And there has been a lot of glitches recently. And now the bio is gone?! That helps me know who the person I'm requesting is, instead of just seeing what they look like. Plus, if the preferences were a little closer, that would be a good improvement too.

The introduction and account set up is straightforward and easy, but the function the app is supposed to give is trash. You know nothing about the person your adding, only their name, age and what they look like. I've been adding as many people as I can for 2 days straight and so for only got 1 friend request back. Either everyone I see on the app doesn't use it anymore, or the app just doesn't show you when you actually add a friend.
