Description

Introducing Hedgehog—the app that gives you the curated top news stories of the day, a content feed with your interests in mind, and real conversations with a real community of people. The best part? You’ll be part of an exclusive group that is in the driver’s seat, guiding the conversation and helping to keep the bad guys out. Get the news you want, with the people you like, all in one place.

At Hedgehog, everyone belongs. (Except jerks. You can kick out jerks.)

EXPERT CONTENT
Stay updated on the latest headlines in a fun and engaging way. The twist? Hedgehog’s Editorial team works with the community to source top articles, with adjusted titles and images to make the news more approachable and interesting. Find out what you want to know without all the noise. (An ad or two, sure, but nothing obnoxious!)

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Hedgehog strives to bring people together—one interesting, insightful conversation at a time. Hedgehog was designed with a community-first mentality, using an invite-only approach. This helps limit membership to those who are motivated to build a genuine community, keeping the spammers, scammers, and bad guys out. The more Members participate on the platform, the more invitations they can send out.

PRIVACY-FOCUSED CHATROOMS
To join a chatroom, all you need to do is comment on an article or a post. Then, bam—you’re in. Trolls be warned: you can be removed at any time by the other members of the chat.

Easily track all of your conversations in one place—each discussion represents a different chat room you’ve joined. And get ready for no-regrets chatting—conversations delete automatically after about 30 days, so even if you’ve changed your mind about something, chat away, worry-free.




USER EMPOWERMENT
Contributors guide the conversation on Hedgehog, with the power to post to the Feed - text, images, links, audio, video and headlines. Becoming a contributor lets you help set the tone of the platform and spark the dialog that makes Hedgehog great.

NEWS AUDIO
When you can’t keep your eyes on the news, keep your ears on it. Listen to articles and updates when you’re on the go with a crisp, easy-to-use audio player.

REACTIONS
With a wide range of reactions—not just a thumbs up or thumbs down—you can express your opinion with just one click. Your honest reaction will be anonymous to everyone except the person who posted the article.

GET NOTIFICATIONS
Get notified immediately when someone tags, comments on, or reacts in a conversation you’re part of.

New app

I’m loving the new application you can tell they worked hard on it. There are great perks to being a contributor and I can’t wait to see what this app can do this year!

Developer Response ,

Thanks Jonny50! We definitely had a bunch of hedgehogs working really hard to bring this app to you and we're working even harder to bring you improvements and new features in the near future.

Disappointing

Some type of RSS feed meets Reddit platform. With a viewer account you can only look at things and add emoji reactions. A post directs me to the official website where its stated new accounts will be automatically elevated to member (bypassing the need for an invite). But I’m still a viewer. The advertised discussion is non-existent. The few comments there are are just one liners like “glad to hear it” or “that figures”. To be a contributor you have to pay $5.99 a month. Which is pointless, because you have to be a member to post. So not worth it for what is really just a glorified rss feed aggregator. Which I can do for free on my own. I can even use other social platforms for free with full access, and voluntarily support for less. All without the excessive gatekeeping. Account deleted, app uninstalled. I’m better off using Flipboard or something.

We hope you'll give us another chance in the future. We do have syndicated news content, as well as manually curated news stories, and we are constantly working to improve the experience and the new sources that we provide people using Hedgehog. Shortly before your review we did modify our platform to apply "member" status to all new accounts, and we upgraded all "viewer" accounts to members in batches - yours must've been scheduled for upgrade in a later batch, our apologies. We've also since modified our platform to allow people with the "member" role to post. We'd love for you to give Hedgehog another chance. As a new app on the market, we are continuously working to create a meaningful experience for people.

Great app

Excellent app for premium discussion and great news curation. Viewers can signup and read/react to the news. If you want to upgrade and unlock social media features, you can and it’s a great experience!

Thanks Boomer Boo 23 for the wonderful review! We've worked really hard to bring you a great experience and we're glad we didn't disappoint. Keep on the look out for updates and new features headed your way.
