Haloo – A new feather in Social Networking [Review]
Haloo is quite possibly the app you’ve been wishing for since you got your mobile device. It is designed to use your GPS to find other people who are nearby so you can chat with them or even meet in real life. When you first get the app you’ll need to take a few minutes to enter information into your profile. Things such as your height, weight, ethnicity, age and all the normal ‘dating profile’ types of things are easily added so people around you can see them. Once you’ve got everything setup on your profile you can choose to start looking for people in a variety of ways depending on your interests.
The first option is finding other people who have recently checked in around you. It will display information about each person including their picture, age, sex and how far from you they are located. It will also let you know when they were last using the app so you know whether they are active users or just tried it once. You can sort this list by how far away they are which makes it really nice if you’re actually looking to meet someone.
When you find someone you want to get to know you can invite them into a chat room. From there you can send pictures or videos quickly and easily by just dragging and dropping them into the chat room. This is a great way to get to know new people so you can decide whether or not you want to try to meet up in real life.
You can also join different chat rooms, called funnels, where you can chat one on one or with a group of people physically located in your area. This is a fun and easy way to meet some new friends or possibly even find a romance connection with people right in your area. It is better than wading through dating sites hoping for someone you’re interested in. This is essentially a real time dating (or friendship) app so you can move quickly and get to know new people.
One of the best features about this app is that you don’t have to keep it open all the time to meet new people. Just fill out your profile and check in once in a while. The app will automatically notify you if you’ve been contacted in the app, and when you have a few extra minutes you can open up the app to see if there is anyone new around you that you’d like to meet.
The app was clearly designed for young adults looking to make new friends or fall in love. The vast majority of the app is completely free of charge, but if you want to promote yourself or chat with several individuals at a time you can purchase a subscription.
