We got tired of all the chat apps that say the help you make new friends but really just look and feel like another hookup platform, so we reverse-engineered Hive Social to get the result we wanted, genuine connections with people who share a love for the same things you do!

Looks great! How far down the roadmap is an Android version? I would assume nothing soon.
@elilaipson Hey Eli! It's 100% intended to help you find nearby people who share your interests, so you can actually go hang out with new friends! We have also found that many people just enjoy sharing interests with people through the app. It also happens to be a really great place to ask questions because it's separated by topic/subject. Thank you for your support!!
@shaugen7 Hey Seth! The big differences between us and Facebook groups are...
1. Facebook groups are ran by the creator of the group, so if there is a running group in your area and the creator of that group decided that the running group is going running on Thursday mornings, and you have a consistent weekly conflict on Thursday mornings, you just don't get to go. This usually causes people to create their own group for the same thing or just give up. We think that's silly.
2. Most people have more than just one interest, so that means you would have to find a Facebook group for each of your interests. We make it easier by putting all the different communities in the same place, so you don't have to search to find anything!
3. Unless a Facebook group says that its the running group for a certain city, anyone from anywhere can join the group. This makes it hard to actually meet and make friends in real life. Within the next couple weeks, we will be adding a location filter that will allow you to choose the radius that you see posts from, giving you the ability to meet the users that are near you!
These are just some of the differences. As we grow, you will see some more features added that will further distinguish us from Facebook groups, Meetup, and the like. Thank you so much for your support!!
