How to Sign Up for Hud App

HudApp SignUp
  • Registration is free
  • Sign-up in three ways
  • Provide basic information to become a member
  • Finish signing up in five minutes
  • No email verification needed
  • Signing up with your phone number can be a little difficult

For iOS users, there are three ways to sign up to HudApp. First is with your Apple ID. Second is with your mobile number. Lastly, it's with your Facebook account. If you are using android, you may use the last two options.

However, during the time of testing, signing up using the phone number is having some error even if it was tried using different devices and numbers.

Once you've chosen from the sign-up options, you will be asked to enter your location, identify your gender, chooses whether you are signing up as an individual or as a couple, choose whether you are interested in women, men, everyone, or couples, and the last question is about your birthday.

Upon finishing that part, the screen will show you the page about notification settings. You may choose "Notify Me," or "Not now" based on your preference.

It seems that that's the end of it, however, the registration process will not be successful unless you agree to start the 7-days free trial.

If you are using your Apple ID, you need to link it and the subscription payment will be charged to your account after the trial period. If you are using your mobile number and Facebook account, you need to link your credit card so you can proceed and check your profile.

Making Contact on Hud App

HudApp Contacting
  • Video chat is available
  • Send recorded voice and video messages
  • Make a move and get other members' attention
  • Manual searching is not available
  • You cannot contact other members unless you upload a profile picture
  • Unlimited chatting
  • Anonymous mesaging

There are several ways to communicate and connect with other members of HudApp. One of its best-contacting features is unlimited chatting. Video Calling is free and it has a special feature of blurred call if the members are not comfortable to see each others' faces yet. You can also send and receive photo messages. It gives the app an extra thumbs up since meeting people is the main purpose of any dating app.

Even if manual searching is not a feature of the app, you have the option to scroll and browse among the members and react to their profiles by clicking like or dislike. They call it endless scrolling which is similar to Tinder's Swiping feature. The difference is you can press the button of your choice, whether you like it or not. 

It is strongly encouraged that you should upload a profile picture before you start connecting with other members.

Hud App Profile Quality

HudApp Profile
  • The profile information is not very detailed
  • Profile photo is required before you can mingle with other members
  • See the members who liked and viewed your profile
  • Strict guidelines for photo uploading
  • Asking for money or promoting Snapchat or cam sites are prohibited
  • Create your own avatar and use accessories for more fun

    You will see a little information when you check a profile in HudApp. However, something interesting about it is about the "bedroom." Members may put their interests in the bedroom doing intimate stuff.

    If you are a premium member, you will be able to see who's visited your profile and who liked you. If both of you liked each other, there will be an instant match.

    It's not very difficult to create a HudApp profile, however, it's easy to get suspended.

    Here are some guidelines to keep your profile from being suspended:

    • If your account was detected to be fake.
    • Searching for sugar mommy/daddy
    • Soliciting for money
    • Being a minor
    • Promoting cam sites such as Snapchat
    • Sending explicit contents to other members
    • Living in a country that is not included in the services of the site

    Things to Avoid when Uploading a Perfect Profile Photo

    • Face should be clearly visible
    • Should be alone in the photo
    • No minors in the photo
    • Hiding your face or facing back
    • Not focused

    Hud App Real Life Review

    My boyfriend left me and I was broken hearted for months. A friend was using HudApp and she covinced me to try it too. The first few weeks were boring. But it's now my sixth week and it's starting to be fun. Meeting a lot of hot guys now. This is exciting!  - Karla, 27

    This app is not useful at all. Good thing there was a free premim trial. I tried using all the features, but it's not good enough for me. -Mark, 33

    Design and Usability

    The design of HudApp is modern and also inviting. The contrast of colours makes it more appealing, especially to the younger generations. It's neat and can let you choose and scroll along with its features.

    However, the loading time is a little bit slow, which can become annoying.

    Most features are easy to use, except for the signing up using the mobile number. People who don't have either of the Apple ID or Facebook account won't have an easy time creating their HudApp account.

    For security purposes, the app blocks the profile quickly once it detects unusual activity, location or other credentials.

    Editor's Conclusion

    DatingsScout.hk Author Chris Pleines
    Chris Pleines
    Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"
    HudApp is a relatively new app. Since new is always better, as they say, there's a lot of expectations about it.Signing up is not easy. It differs based on the kind of device that you are using. Also, during the time of testing, using the mobile login method has been resulting in errors. Linking it to your Facebook account is the easiest way to enter the app.Reviews from other websites and some users state that the app is not very good, and not so easy-to-use. Despite the bad reviews, it's a good point that the app offers a 7-day free premium trial. Not all websites can offer such. But if you are forgetful, there's a big chance that you might get charged for the subscription fee. The mechanics of the app is more for finding fun and just all games. So if you're not really looking for something serious, you might still want to find it fun.
