About the App
Houseparty is a social networking app that is almost a blend of Snapchat and FaceTime. You create an account (it’s free) and then tell your friends! You add them all by username much like Snapchat and then you can video chat, play games, and so much more! The best part? The app is compatible with iOS, Android, macOS, and Chrome.

What the Sources are Saying
“Houseparty had gotten a lot of attention among the under-24 set when it first started back in 2016. Its CEO, Sima Sistani, touted it as the “next best thing to hanging out in real life”. It had been installed by 35 million users (40% of whom were outside the US.) In subsequent years, however, downloads of the app had declined – that is, until the pandemic. Downloads in March 2020 were the highest of the year.” (The Guardian)
“As millions of people have been told to stay at home in an unprecedented bid to curb the spread of the virus, Houseparty has become an overnight sensation — not only among company-starved millennials and Generation Z teenagers — but also their parents.
Last week alone, the San Francisco-based app, which is owned by Fortnite developer Epic Games, raked in 2m downloads worldwide, compared with around 130,000 the same week a month ago, according to data from App Annie. It currently ranks at number one in the Apple app store in 17 countries including the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy.” (Financial Times)
