Hoop - Make new friends

Meet people beyond your usual circle

Hoop - Make new friends is a social discovery app for people who want to find new contacts rather than follow an existing friend network. It lets you browse user profiles and decide who you would like to connect with, making it suitable for casual conversation, meeting people from other places, or expanding an online social circle without framing every interaction as dating.

Browse first, connect when it feels right

The app centres on profile discovery. You can look through people nearby or explore users from around the world, then choose which connections to pursue. Hoop also keeps the exchange of social handles under your control, so you do not have to publish every account or move a conversation elsewhere before you are ready.

A lightweight game around introductions

Friend requests and some actions use an in-app diamond system. Daily activity, progression and optional rewarded videos can help users collect more diamonds, although frequent browsing may make the limits more noticeable. This gives the service a more structured, game-like rhythm than a standard messaging app, but it may not suit anyone who wants unlimited introductions with no extras to manage.

What the numbers suggest

Hoop is published by Hoop app and sits in the Social category. Its rating is about 4.04 out of 5 from more than 414,000 reviews, with 10,000,000+ installs. Those figures point to a large and active audience, which is useful if your main reason for trying the app is having plenty of profiles to explore. It is best suited to users comfortable with quick profile decisions, controlled sharing and a reward-based approach to making new online connections.
