You don’t always see it, but people notice you. They appreciate you. They talk about you in the best way. You just don’t hear it. Don’t believe it? We’re going to prove it. Welcome to Hype – the app that shows you exactly how much people value you. Every day, your school answers fun, unexpected polls—who’s got the best style, who always makes class better, who’s the most underrated. The best part? When you get picked, you’ll actually know. **The Validation You Deserve** Most of the time, the good things people think about you go unsaid. Hype makes sure they don’t. Whether it’s your energy, your humor, or just the way you show up, you’ll see the impact you have on the people around you. **How It Works** You vote on polls to hype up others and you get compliments in return. Every time you vote on a poll, you earn coins which can be used to guess who gave you a compliment. It’s that simple. **Your School, Your Spotlight** Hype isn’t about influencers or followers. It’s about real people recognizing real people. No random strangers, no fake engagement—just your school deciding who’s making an impact. Want even more recognition? Invite friends and watch your hype grow. **A Better Kind of Social Media** Most apps are built for comparison. Hype is built for appreciation. No negativity, no pressure—just a space to see yourself the way others already do. Your school is already voting. It’s time to see who’s hyping you up.
