Hookie is the ultimate communications tool. Its both a broadcast and a messaging app available for the iPhone and other smartphones.As a broadcast app, Hookie allows you to send and receive messages with other people nearby. Choose how far your broadcasts go with Hookies patent-pending Adjustable Broadcast Range (ABR). Slide the ABR setting and control not only how far your broadcasts go, but also how close others must be to contact you. Keep things close and connect with people within 10 feet, or open things up and message people up to 2500 miles away - the choice is yours.Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. If you don't actively use Hookie, it will automatically shut down background location updates after awhile.Of course you can also use Hookie to communicate with family and friends and avoid annoying text messaging limits and fees. Text as much as you like using Wi-Fi (where available) or Cellular Data (carrier rates still apply).Be one of the first to use Hookie and youll get our app for free! After January 1st, 2016, Hookie will cost $0.99 USD/year for all new users.DIRECTIONSAfter downloading the Hookie app to your smart phone, look for the Hookie app icon among your other apps. Simply tap it to open, choose a user name, and youre ready to roll.BROADCAST MESSAGINGTap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen this will open the settings page.
