Instant Messaging has become a trend these especially in youth!
Hike is an instant messaging and also an sms app which allows you to send messages via hike without internet or data.
It is considered as the top free apps in Google playstore and it is in the 3rd position now.
The user interface of this app is very basic, clean and so good ! The blue and white colour combination of this makes it to look brighter.
In the sense, it is lil bit better compared to whatsapp because it allows you to communicate over sms which is certainly big advantage for those who dont have internet.
Each hike user gets 100 sms every month, which you can use it for emergency purposes when you dont have data or internet.
This app is just about 18mb, but it offers more features. It has many features like Chatting, surfing and Payments feature and we have timleline ( Profilefeed) also.! We can also like pictures of our friends on hike and comment on it.
The main thing I like in this app is that in the conversation screen we get thousands of stickers which we can use it in our chat for making fun in the groups.
You can also earn in this app by referring your friends to hike. It offers you about 20rs to 50rs per referell.
Everything in this is app is fine but it doesn’t have video calling feature and voice recording while the other apps like WhatsApp and Nimbuzz have! And my friend also complained that couple of emojis do not appear properly for iPhone 3GS! We expect this problem to get fixed as more people discover Hike as a compelling alternative.
