## What is hangfive?

We often hesitate to share what’s really going on in our lives because it can affect our relationships. We think,

- What would my friends think if I don’t have $10 to go out tonight?
- What would my roommates think if I decided to move off campus?
- What would my best friend think if I’m dating my ex again?

hangfive is a space where you can freely share your ups and downs with someone new - sometimes the best listeners can be people who don’t know you at all.


HOW IT WORKS

You will be empowered to speak your thoughts as one of the 12 zodiac animals.

Your zodiac animal is predetermined at birth - it encapsulates your essence without the perceptions, biases, and judgment that comes from social interactions.

1. Provide your date of birth and you’ll get a zodiac avatar.
2. Share your story by recording as your avatar. Get it off your chest. Don’t worry. No one knows it’s you.
3. Check responses to your story
4. Listen to what other people are going through and give advice

### 5/5 — Cool new idea

*2022-11-09, version 2.0.2*

I've only used it for a few days but I like how u can kind of talk 1:1 with others freely cuz they dont know u and u dont know them personally. It helps to just get something off ur chest sometimes, but it was even better when other people gave me a confidence boost and said not to worry. 
Also the zodiac animals are cute :)

**Developer response:** We are thrilled that you had a positive experience with hangfive!

### 5/5 — I highly recommend this app!

*2022-11-08, version 2.0.2*

I think this app has a considerate approach to social media which is very unique. I shared my stories several times and got some thoughtful responses from random users. When I received their voice memos, I felt so touched. Very cool concept with cute avatars. Try this out and let’s connect in hangfive!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your compliment and good review!

### 5/5 — App is great

*2022-07-01, version 1.16.0*

So much familiar

### 1/5 — Can’t seem to get past the place of birth screen

*2022-04-01, version 1.12.0*

No data validation or auto complete so I can’t get past this required screen. Tough UX

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! Please email us at hello@hangfive.co with the maker and model of your phone, and we'll do our best to resolve the issue.

### 5/5 — Love the app but have a small problem

*2022-02-27, version 1.11.0*

This app is very interesting and I always loved horoscopes and zodiacs so this is perfect! One small thing I’m encountering is not able to reply to the chats. I thought it would be very fun to talk to diff people over different places but for some reason when I clicked into the chat, it only show me a blank page and I’m not able to reply to them :( I feel bad not replying to the new chats I see but I’m not sure where I can go for tech support either.

**Developer response:** We truly appreciate your review, but since we have totally revamped the app, could you please update your review so that new users don't get confused? 

We would be grateful for your help :)

### 5/5 — Fassssssst

*2021-11-25, version 1.6.0*

I love this app

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to know you like our app.

### 1/5 — Skip if you’re trans

*2021-08-05, version 1.1.16*

You input the gender you were assigned at birth, and that’s what you’re shown as. I, a trans man, am not about to use a dating app where I’m presented to people as a woman. Obviously, I could say I was assigned male at birth, but then people would assume I’m cis, potentially setting me up to get assaulted or harassed.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your valuable feedback.
We apologize for all the inconvenience caused by using our matching service based on traditional compatibility calculations of Saju (Korean Astrology).
We took this time to review and make necessary improvements to our app. The latest version (1.4.0) is our first step to becoming a more inclusive and safe place for like-minded people while providing a more sophisticated Saju experience. Once again, thank you for your feedback!

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2021-07-18, version 1.1.16*

I can’t even get through the making a profile step. It’s unable to locate my birth city and it gets stuck on the type board and I can’t click done. I’ve downloaded/are-downloaded it 3 times and still nothing

**Developer response:** We are so sorry for your inconvenience. Do you have an iPhone SE by any chance? If you send us your birth location at admin@hangfive.co, we'll add the location for you as soon as possible!

### 1/5 — Account making issues

*2021-05-28, version 1.1.13*

It won’t let me continue after I input my number. What’s up with that?

**Developer response:** We are so sorry for your inconvenience. Do you have an iPhone SE by any chance? If you send us screenshots at admin@hangfive.co, we’ll fix the problem for you as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Can’t make an account

*2021-05-06, version 1.1.13*

I can’t get past my phone number on the app when making an account. The number keyboard will not move and the page won’t move for me to press whatever button is hiding und the number keyboard....

**Developer response:** We are so sorry for your inconvenience. Do you have an iPhone SE by any chance? If you send us screenshots at admin@hangfive.co, we’ll fix the problem for you as soon as possible.
