Apps have made it incredibly easy to connect with those you care about. Remember actually going places to engage with people? Wow, how old are we? LOL!
That’s all behind us now, just open an app and you can hang out and chat with people who you never would have had the chance to meet.
Clubhouse is a well-designed and easy-to-use app whose focus is drop-in audio conversations with friends and others around the world.
What’s so cool about this app, and why it’s taking off like a rocket, is that you can drop-in to a session just to listen to someone you follow and hear what he or she, and the whole group, is talking about.
Concept and Functionality:
Signing up for Clubhouse, a free app by Alpha Exploration Co., is incredibly easy – although in these days of privacy concern having to provide a phone number is a bit of a red flag.
Most people don’t mind this but they also require access to your contact list. All told this aspect of the app is something we’d like to see come up to speed with other social apps that are more sensitive to those who want to opt in to more privacy.
As far as the actual audio conversation or listening-in experience goes, we like the fact that Clubhouse covers new ground by moving users away from texting or just dropping comments, images and videos for others to see and waiting for feedback.
In a world of emojis, it’s actually quite refreshing to hear actual voices expressing actual emotions.
It seems like a strange concept at first, but being able to just drop-in an listen in on an ongoing discussion hosted by someone you’re interested in, is really pretty cool.
One thing to be aware of, though, is that the app is in its early days so don’t expect much in the way of content generally considered to be offensive being moderated out. When it comes to hateful speech or spreading known false conspiracies, it’s caveat emptor.
Features:
What seems to make Clubhouse click is that once you’re in a room you can see who’s on stage and who is speaking. It can be a challenge when the number of people increases but overall we like how it’s set up.
As you listen to different people speaking their avatars increase in size indicating they are the one speaking. Expect to do some scrolling though in a crowded session.
Unfortunately right now it’s invitation only so you may or may not be able to set up an account. That said, this is a smart move that makes it seem a bit exotic and probably helps them figure out what people like, don’t like, and make sure their tech is spot on to handle big user loads.
Value:
Clubhouse is available to download for free from the App Store. There are no ads or in-app purchases, which makes this a completely free app to use and enjoy. No subscription fees, no paid extras, and no nonsense.
Overall it’s a worthwhile download and, if you can create an account, an interesting experience that we think you’ll find quite compelling. However, we hope the devs will pay more attention to user privacy and moderating extreme content.
Clubhouse: Drop-in audio chat requires iOS 13.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
