## What is Folks?

Folks is the first app which allows you to find out discreetly who among your contacts has a crush on you.
-	Share your feelings discreetly by activating the hook-up on your crush and see if there is a match. Your crush will not know that you activated the hook-up with them… unless they did the same with you.
-	Locate which of your friends will be in the same city as you when you are on the move by activating the catch-up function and plan a hang-out with them.


HOOK-UP  
You have a crush on a friend or a colleague but are unsure of their reaction? Share your feelings discreetly by activating the hook-up on your crush's profile and see if there is a match.


Step 1 - Activate the hook-up button on their profile. This will be visible only by you. No one else will know, neither your crush nor your friends.


Step 2 - If your crush activates the hook-up button on your profile as well, there is a match, visible only by the both of you. If not, nothing happens, and your crush will never be notified of your interest in them. 


Step 3 - You can then use the catch-up function or the app chat to meet with them.


CATCH-UP
You want to quickly organize hangouts with your friends when you travel? Locate which of your friends will be in the same city as you when you are on the move by activating the catch-up function and plan a hangout with them.


Step 1 - Check which friends are around you or live in your travel destination.


Step 2 – You can let them know that you are coming and plan a venue to catch-up with them.


Step 3 – The catch-up is set in your calendar. You can also chat any time with them.
