Mystery App #1 in Social Media App store
Posted by on February 3, 2021 at 12:48 pmAnyone seen this/know what this is?
The #2 app in the app store is an instagramesque app called Hive.
Never heard of it before, but in digging around it looks as though they’re trying to drive home privacy as a point of differentiation.
It says that it’s been developed by ASPEN TECHNICAL ALARMS INC. A cursory search on Google only shows an alarm system company.
Curious. Anyone know anything about this? What the hell is causing a surge in downloads?
At a glance it seems sketchy. Curious if anyone has any actual info.

Which app Store?

It says TheHive Inc. when I open the page. But it just seems like a paid push, I don’t know if you are part of it, as you post about it on your Twitter, so no offense, but it seems the same like Vero a few years back. It was just a clone with a big money supply behind it, it got big for a short while and died slowly after if I recall it correctly.

From a post I saw earlier on LinkedIn:
How did Hive rise to #1 on the App Store overnight? Gen Z. ⭐️?
Created by 22-year-old CEO Kassandra, promoted by 22-year-old u/thickblackthot on TikTok, and shared and downloaded by thousands upon thousands of Gen Zers, the app topped social media charts within just a few hours.
What’s all the buzz mean? There’s no understanding the future or the present without understanding Gen Z. Young people are a force to be reckoned with, and Hive’s story is yet another example of their power. ?
