Huddl is proud to announce that today it joins the GroupMe family. Since launching two days ago, Huddl has been received with tremendous enthusiasm by people nationwide, sparking a surge in group messaging innovation. 

 
”We’re excited to now be part of the GroupMe family” says Daniel Herdean, Co-Founder & Product Manager.
 
Naaaaa…April Fools! :)

 
Yeah, we’re cracking up too. Sure there have been other group messaging apps in the past but we think that you’d be interested to know of a new competitor on the market with a much different take on group messaging. Huddl just launched the other day and is like Instagram for groups. Huddl fills the gap between SMS and social networks like Facebook & Twitter and works with any mobile phone in the US, simplifying social group sharing. 

In addition to providing similar messaging features as GroupMe, Huddl stands apart for two key reasons:

Open groups
- users can make their groups public to friends or private (like GroupMe)
- public groups make the app much more social and fun
- users can keep up with what their friends are doing by exploring their groups (called huddles).

Event groups 
- users can create an event group by simply generating a QR code within the app
- event owner then posts the QR code and attendees can easily scan into group
- this is great for sharing photos and messages with friends at a concert, wedding or festival

Please download the app and let us know what you think. Or you can click the giant button below.

We can arrange for a quick demo if you’d like.

Looking at first day stats we were pleasantly surprised. On average, people were performing 100 interactions within Huddl.

What does that mean? Well, basically, a user looked at an average of 100 screen states. A screen state would be like tapping to jump into a huddle. Or posting a pic, etc, etc. Thats quite some time spent within huddl. We have a lot to learn from this valuable data, and we promise all will be applied at how we can make the experience better for you.

Thanks! We love you!
