## What is HMU?

Hit Me Up, or HMU, is the snappiest way of staying in the loop when your friends are on the move. Tired of waiting outside your BFF's house and having to ring the doorbell over and over, or texting them to let them know you're outside? Ever wonder which of your friends already left for the party? Do your friends and your momma want to know if you made it home safely? HMU has you covered! Just create a new geo-notification by dropping a pin and choosing a radius, and then you're golden! We'll notify all the friends you choose whenever you enter or exit that location. It's super easy and keeps everyone close to you in the loop.

But hold up, that's not all!
In the future, we're adding a TON of bonus features for all different types of notifications. So just hang tight and we'll take care of ya!

Feel free to contact us anytime- we love your feedback!
