HOOPT 12+

Dear HOOPTers,

We are overjoyed to share some fantastic news with you. As of today, June 21, HOOPT is officially off Beta and has moved to its new home on the App Store!

If you have been our Beta user, please check your email and follow the simple steps to transition smoothly and effectively.

What's New:

1. Collections Improvements: Discover enhanced collection folders and shortcuts next to the 'Select List' feature, making it easier to explore and act on your and your friends' Collections.
2. Seamless Invites 2.0: HOOPT is invite-only, and you decide how the network grows. When you send a personal or group invite link, we will seamlessly carry your new invites from the link into their app. Post onboarding, they will automatically be your friend or find themselves in your group/community chat.
3. Introducing HOOPT+: The HOOPT+ subscription is now available for $8.99 per month, offering powerful Community Hosting and Invite privileges, along with our proprietary features such as automated Community Collections.

Join HOOPT+ Today and Start Unleashing a World of Innovative New Features:

1. Your Private & Innovative App: HOOPT is crafted by 20 life enthusiasts like you and serves only you. Plus membership supports sustainable "for-you only" innovation. Your app is 100% personalized, private, free of brand advertising, and by design, does not allow for any third-party 'manipulation.' All it does in the background is continuously simulate, automate, machine learn, and get more artificially intelligent based on you and for you.
2. Community Hosting: Create, host, and revive your vibrant communities with ease. Secure unique community IDs, use Community invite links, and apply to become a Founding Community Launch Partner. Your non-host community members do not need a HOOPT+ subscription to participate.
3. Step into HOOPT+: Access new features like Community Insights & Dashboard, SmartDiary, MeetMe, and Ai+. Create and share custom lists externally. Use HOOPT on iPad and Desktop, with many more features as we roll them out rest of 2024!

HOOPT Beta Highlights:

HOOPT search now boasts over 250m items and collections totaling 338K entities, including 63K movies, 55K books, and 220K places. All are organized and available in context, making it easier to access, utilize, discover and share what we want and love.

Collectively, our Beta users in 52 countries have had 385K app sessions, giving birth to 12K dynamic discovery lists, with their 87K loved it votes and 78K want to intentions, available on demand to our existing HOOPTers and insightfully welcoming new ones.

Across the globe, we gather on one platform to live and share our life journeys, in private and with mutual respect, united by HOOPT. Special mention goes to our 35 1k+ Club members, whom we see as the global mayors of the HOOPT app and will be the hosts of our upcoming HOOPTer events.
