The CEO Ben Ruben who previously created another successful communicating App called Meerkat created HouseParty. HouseParty is a face-to-face social network that helps us spend time with the people we care about. Where being together is as easy as showing up. HouseParty is an app that can be used beyond just our phones, where it connects us to friends and family and allows up to 8 people to simultaneously view each other. It shows users who is online, and allows us to send video messages to get people online.
The app was created to help connect more people at once while providing maximum security and privacy during live viewings. The app has protected security measures within it to help ensure safe viewing. Since the app is push toward teenagers it uses fun quotes and party terms to keep it fun and trendy. It has a super easy user interface that keeps all your friends only one click away.
I like this app because it reminds me of a better version of snap chat. Snap chat has similar features where it connects users together by pictures, chats, and online viewing but as a Snapchat user the video using is poor. I find myself on face time before I do on snapchat video. And the chats save if the other person decides? That’s lame. Houseparty deletes ALL chats within 24 hours. Houseparty can also send text messages to other users to get them to get online since its connected to a number, where as other social media apps like Snapchat, whatsapp, and instagram dope.
The future of HouseParty looks bright since it still has relevancy among users for more than two years, and that it sets itself apart with privacy and number of user features. I expect the app to continue integrating more outlets like instagram and potentially dating apps like Tinder. Users have mentioned they use this app to flirt since it lets you know who’s online, which is the cutest! I plan on using the app for my videos here on out.
