HANKY

A new hook-up app for same-sex attracted men claims to aim for “quality over quantity” with its controversial application process.

Hanky employs a policy which puts new members to a vote by three existing members to deem whether they are worthy to join the social network in an attempt to prevent “creeps, timewasters and fake profiles.”

Hanky co-founder Jonas Cronfeld says he is fed up with the vibe of other gay apps.

“We will probably never have 5 million members like some of these other apps because so many get turned away,” Cronfeld said, revealing around 8 in 10 potential users are rejected.

“Sure, big numbers are nice, but none of our competitors have got the actual experience right – something we will never compromise on,” Cronfeld continued.

Hanky have explained their policy in a media statement, saying the apps was developed in response to trolling and bots.

“Legitimate users of traditional apps are being subjected to internet ridicule by trolls (often using fake identities), who send abusive messages or who post screenshots of private conversations on Twitter.”
