## What is Hotspots?

Hotspots is how you find what's happening around you and meet the people you already cross paths with.

You know the feeling. The same faces at the gym, in the coffee line, at the pool, at the party. Your people are already all around you. You just never had a reason to say something. Hotspots gives you one.

SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING
See where people are gathering right now, the spots, the events, where the energy is, so you always know where to be.

MEET WHO YOU CROSS PATHS WITH
Live your normal day and Hotspots quietly notices the people you come near. The people you crossed show up afterward, so you can finally connect with the people you keep almost-meeting.

FIND YOUR PEOPLE
Friends, your crew, and yes, maybe more. However you want to connect, start with the people who are actually around you, not strangers three states away.

STUDENTS GET A CAMPUS BADGE
Anyone 18 and over can join with any email. Sign up with a school email and your profile carries a verified campus badge, so students can tell who else is on their campus.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your live location is never stored or shown to anyone, ever. One-tap block and report, and you are 18 or older to join.

HOTSPOTS+
Upgrade for more of who crossed you, and unlimited priority connections. Billed through your App Store account, cancel anytime.

Hotspots is for anyone 18 and older. See where everyone's at.
