Hype - Broadcast live interactive video. From the founder of Vine.

Hype is one of the coolest executions of live streaming. Props to showing something new in what feels like a crowded space. Good luck team.

Well, you guys got the name right.

Are you hiring? ;)

iOS only? Throw this in the trash.

After my first 15 minutes or so - gotta say - I dig it! ;)) Very clear and intuitive - yet guided where needed (I'm guessing I'll probably discover some more features as I play along, but as a first time user experience >> enjoyed it and got into the commenting and interacting with no problems at all..) (Y) Really liked the fact that if I exit the app the sound stays on in the background! (Y) (Y) I may be wrong, but I had a sense that some of the broadcasters I was watching actually work for Hype..(?) Nothing wrong with that of course, as long as they were interesting and entertaining - that's what matters. In fact - it's actually a great move, as there's nothing worse than entering this kind of live app and finding a dull ghost town -- this way at any given moment there's someone live under Explore/recommendations and newcomers get a quick grasp of what's going on... (Plus, I liked the fact that you can watch old broadcasts to get an idea of shows to subscribe to...) (Y) (Y) (Y) Admittedly, I may be a bit biased as I'm an old Vine user, but I really think you have something here. Good luck!

So is this like a Periscope on steroids? What does it offer that is ground breaking besides the little thrills of image editing, etc. ??

Another recycled video app. I think you move above them all and do VR videos instead. Looks fun though have to say but not sure thats enough not to install

Just because Vine died doesn't mean this will. Vine died because a big company bought to be close to first in market and then did everything to throw it under the bus like not supporting it in stream like it did periscope. Also it allowed people to film directly in twitter as a post. The ones who had the passion for it built something different, while twitter is in identity crisis mode.

So nice and awesome product

Hype is no longer available.
