Hey designers,
I recently launched an app called Huddl.
Huddl is a free group messaging app that works with any mobile phone in the US.
Huddl allows you to simplify your groups and share the conversations with the world.
I'd love your feedback on the app, its design and functionality.
Check it out here:

The fake reviews that you've posted come across as fake. You should try writing better ones. Or, copy+paste generic reviews from other social networking apps.
- they arent fake.themilkman
- Yes they are.nb
- They sure do look fake.arthur

"Huddl allows you to simplify your groups and share the conversations with the world."
What does it actually do though? This kind of sounds like every other social media app.
Your app might be amazing but if you can't explain the concept in a couple sentences I doubt it will catch on.
- at its core thats what it does. there are other group messaging apps. The line above it says "Huddl is a free group messaging app that works with any mobile phone in the US." thats what ti does at its core. what we do different is that its not just group messagin, but rther social group messaging. you can see what your friends are doing and the roups they are involved in if they make their groups public (we call the huddles). Hope that helps.themilkman

What separates this app from apps like GroupMe (www.groupme.com) and Beluga (www.belugapods.com)? Just curious.
- the name.dbloc
- they left out the "e"?TheBlueOne
- its social and plays nice with TW/FB. GM & BL are closed and private to only ppl in groups.themilkman
- beluga got bought by facebook. i imagine they will have some integration, just sayin'silentpost

@mightyj GroupMe and Beluga are very closed and private. You cant see what your friends are doing. We have a few different levels of privacy:
PRIVATE: only visible to you and the people in the huddle
ELASTIC: your non-private huddles are visible to friends in your personal network
FUNCTIONAL: used for when you want to create a huddl, but not be friends with everyone in it (so they cant see what you're doing in other huddles). great for school/study groups or temporary activities.
COMMERCIAL: used for events, or brands, or recreational activies. these can involve a LOT of people. you can create one by printing the QR code (hint: tap "+" and then the lightning bolt, the create a huddle and send yourself the code)I hope this helps explain how we are different. The competition isnt even close. Yeah, they have a conference call feature... ooook.
